good to 'see' you again Bennain!
i'm always so happy to see your ACW troops!

i saw a re-enacted picture the other day...a southerner wearing a red artillery kepi but i had a cross on it...i thought the 'X' is for calvary only? (and also a notherner artilleryman also wearing a kepi with a 'X' on it)

Well Cheng, I thing that what you see is not a "X".

Here are the symbols:
Cavalry - 2 cross sabre
Artillery - 2 cross canons
Infantry - posthorn or signal horn (I don't know the right word in the moment)

THANKS Bennain!!!

i never knew that!
those 'X' on PM's blue kepis can be BOTH swords OR cannons...fantastic! fantastic!!!(was it intended this way?)
(i was going to remove them from my union artilerrymen but didnt because its against my personal rule to wipe off any original PM printing

but now i know my infantry can have kepi's with 'X'  :P :'(

i thought the bugle (horn) sign is only for soldiers with bugles  :P :P
someday i'll invest in a printer for stickers for printing those bugles!!

thank you my dear Bennain!

They look GREAT, Bennain ...

The old red fez is perfect for your Confederate zouaves. How did you ever collect enough of them for your regiment?

Thanks for the photo.

All the best,
Richard

Hi Richard,

some collectors from the german Playmo-Portal has helped me. I need for my northern zuaves round about 30 more. I also need some red vikinglegs for them and then I can present you another regiment.

For those who wants to know which parts I have used:

Body: “Redcoats” – english Soldiers
Legs: German Policemen

Regards
Bennain

Hello, Bennain ...

Maybe some of our Spanish collectors from the Playclicks forum could make you a mould of the fez, so that you could cast as many as you need ... ???

Just a suggestion.

All the best,
Richard

This is so kool!  It would be super if PM still offered the artillery for ACW.  I am really getting discouraged with PM, all the great sets are discontinued.  I had thought of doing ACW in PM, but without cannons, it just dosen't work.

I do reenacting as a CSA artilleryman with the 1st South Carolina Light Artillery.  Our unit has 4 guns.

However, thanks for sharing these pictures with us.
