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.

Are they actually gaming pieces for board games?
Looks nice though!!
Yep, Eagle Games is/was a boardgame publisher. I only have their Conquest of the Empire game, which is a repro/update of the old Milton Bradley title of the same name (also released as Seven Caesars). Great game. I wasn’t aware they were still around.
