Eagle Games Troops

I have been working on the Eagle Games figures.
These are 1/72nd scale figures for ACW and Colonial.  Figures are rather generic and a bit thin.
They come with two horse riding poses, a standing firing rifleman, and five cannons, 12 pound Napoleon types.  No horses you have to buy them separate. 
The ACW set also gives you a flag bearer, and the Colonial set gives you a heliograph team of  two men.  I like them because they fit okay with most plastic troops of the era and really help to bulk out a firing line with standing shooting figures.  The cannons are sturdy, one piece gun and carriage and two separate wheels.  I use the wheel for other wagons, as I don't quite need this many cannons.  However, I also have cut up the cannons and used the barrels to make naval carriage guns, or as monuments with cannon on them.  I also have cut the gun off the carriage and flipping the carriage over, used it as a limber for other guns.
