    I have the intention om to do something similair like this, with Knights. The French, English 100 years war.... with light and heavy armoured knights, soldiers, archers, cavalary, signalers, cannon and some handguns or thunder busses. But I am still painting!

    You did put a lot of effort into this. And I am amazed by the numbers of toy soldiers involved... cannons, tents and carriages as well. Wounded men, officers, etc. You can't buy this in Europe, or in the land I live in, The Netherlands. Here, I know a lot of collectors or even children would like to buy them. How can we order? Great film, with historical accuraty. And not to forget, how many dead and wounded.... makes you realise that war is a terrible thing...

    Great job you have had an original idea for the confederacy to win just like in real life where they won the first and last battles of the civil war and a lot more than the union

  • @Sgt-lott10
    @Sgt-lott10 Před 5 lety +6

    That’s a lot less Mia/Kia confederates than the union

    • @MCPhantomX
      @MCPhantomX  Před 5 lety +1

      You would think the confederates would have a much larger casualty rate considering the fact that they were battling up a slope AND were attacking. Still bloody for both sides.

    • @Sgt-lott10
      @Sgt-lott10 Před 5 lety +2

      MCPhantomX yeah I still don’t see how the CSA had less men but won more battles including the first and last, but lost the war

      @@wizkiddomik6140 McClellan would not engage time after time so Lincoln had to remove him for good. Even at Antietam he would not attack Lee after he had him at his lowest point. He always wanted massive numerical advantages in order to engage. U S Grant gave Lincoln victories.

    How many soldiers do you have combined Union and Confederate?

    • @MCPhantomX
      @MCPhantomX  Před rokem

      Too many! Rough estimate is about 1000 or so Union and 800 Confederate. Started with a 1960s set, then expanded the collection over the past 20 years with all of the remakes, new models, etc.
