UPDATE: North Carolina enters the fray. Five regiments, enough for a large Brigade or even a small Division.
The state flag meant adding a standard bearer and cramming him into the base. I like to add the occasional four figures to a base as it looks good in a regiment and creates a little variety.
I will go over these when the glue is dry and just touch up the white edges on the blue. I found working with PVA is a lot easier than my usual wood glue technique.
Not that it really matters, but I made a note on the bottom of the base of the units name, eg. 4th North Carolina.
I even dug out this old officer to represent General Grimes. I thought it's the least I could do as he came with his own flag on the sheet. A few extra figures rush into the painting list to make up the base.
This search on the internet showed that Byran had a black slouch hat, so I tweaked mine to match. I might build his beard up with gel Superglue on the model
Another sneaky command and infantry base gets squeezed in.
The infantry base was fun because there is a guy about to turn tail and skedaddle.
Those are fine looking command stands, full of character.
