With their dashing, brightly coloured uniforms the zouave light infantry regiments were involved in all major American Civil War battles. There were several renowned zouave regiments in Union service such the 14th Brooklyn, Fire Zouaves and Duryée's Zouaves.
Fighting on horseback and armed with pistol, sabre and carbine, the role of cavalry during the civil war was more as mounted infantry, reconnaissance and patrol units rather than the shock cavalry of previous eras. Skirmishers were an important element of armies of both sides, providing skirmish screens for main units and harrying enemy flanks.
This bundle provides enough models to field a complete Union division comprising three zouaves regiments of 100 men each, three regiments of cavalry, three regiments of dismounted cavalry and three regiments of skirmishers. As an added bonus, you’ll get some Warlord ResinTM casualty markers completely free; vital to track proceedings on the Black Powder Epic Battles tabletop.
