Survey Results, Pt. 5, and a new Civil War Blog

Hey All! Wanted to throw out a few more of the results that came in.

STACY would like more MODERN troops, but their dream set would be 55 DAYS AT PEKING, THE WIND AND THE LION, OR LAWRENCE OF ARABIA.

ANDY wants some more figures from the PLAINS INDIANS WARS, and his dream set would be FETTERMAN & LITTLE BIG HORN.

JIM would like some more WWII, and his dream set would be A WWII PACIFIC THEATER PLAYSET WITH US NAVY SHORE PARTY FIGURES AND A PT BOAT.

RON needs some FRENCH WW2 figures, but his dream set would be BRAVEHEART.

PICKLE always needs more WWII, and he would love a BATTLE OF BERLIN / BATTLE AT MONTE CASSINO set.

JOHN needs CIVILIANS FOR CIVIL WAR SCENES, but his dream set would be a WESTERN TOWN.

I'll post some more later. But in the meantime, feel free to check out this blog dedicated to cool little Civil War stories. It's run by my friend Greg, and he's just started it, but he's uncovered some little known facts and stories that are worth reading if your into such things. My favorite was the article about "The Big Parade". Rock on ya'll.

I have just added a vote for Jacobites (1746 Culloden).
Really strange that the Jacobite Rebellion is so neglected.
The only available Jacobite Highlanders are Cherilea recasts.
They are actually 60mm and there is only six in the set.

Toy Soldiers Underground has some Jacobites I believe. Worth checking out to see if they fit your fancy. I saw a really great history channel special on the battle of Culloden awhile back. Really got me interested.

The story in our family is that one of my Scottish Ancestors fought at the battle of Culloden, but being lowlanders, they sided with the British.
