My dear friend Yves at Ykreol was kind enough to send me this set for review. It is Northern soldiers from the American Civil War.

The set is 1/72nd scale soft plastic. The figures are all prone. This figure holds a telescope.

While the set says Northern, most will work for Southern too. This guy with the floppy hat would make a great Southerner.

The standard bearer is an excellent figure and the flag and flag pole are wonderful. There are almost no 1/72nd scale prone figures for ACW. They work well for dioramas and wargames.

This soldier and dead horse is a nice vignette. In the sieges and often when in reserve solders often laying down in the grass or behind a wall.
A good set and I highly recommend it. More photos tomorrow.
