I do have the ubiquitous Union "Iron Brigade" and Law's Brigade for the CSS, so I'll still count that as confirming your thesis<br />For 1/1200 Sailing I also have a Constitution.<br /><br />It does seem that we in the wargaming hobby do seem to follow form!jmilesrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961624317410579611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103967522725268062.post-46046375461529689512010-09-06T02:39:12.687-07:002010-09-06T02:39:12.687-07:00Irish Bde...check.
