Infantry and Tanks And Such

Eagle Games American Civil War figures sprue.  The colors on these are rather washed out in the photos, each of the sets on today's blog are of a nice uniform color plastic, and slightly darker than they appear in the photos.
Mostly men standing and firing with rifles, and cavalry with sabre or carbine.
The set includes five 12 pounder Napoleon cannon and two flag bearers.
There are no crews for the guns.
The Confederate versions are essentially the same.
The Confederate figures are essentially the same in gray.
They can be used interchangeably as Union.
Five cannons, 22 infantry and 11 cavalry.
These sets don't come with horses so you have to provide your own.
However Eagle Games makes a nice set of one pose of single piece horses.
The horses come in black and brown.
They used to come in gray but they have been discontinued.
This is the Attack! ground forces set.  Ironically it has airplanes, a large and small size.  The planes are sort of a P40 Warhawk.
There are about 36 infantry in one pose a mostly American WWII uniform and equipment look to them.  And there are 6 other slightly larger figures of the same design.
The smaller figures are 1/72nd scale and the larger ones are a bit bigger.

 The AT guns are basically useless in 1/72nd scale being very small, not sure what I am doing with them yet, Santa may give the boys AT guns this year.  The tanks are essentially the US Army M2 Medium tank that preceeded the Lee tank.  Also in two sizes about 1/300 scale.
