Nice collection you got there. :)

I still plan to start collecting these with my kids. We grabbed two sets of pre-painted figures when we were in Harpers Ferry a couple weeks ago. A Union squad with a horseman, and a CSA squad with a cannon/artilleryman. I'm not sure the size, but they are about the size of plastic Army Men.

These are smaller, well under an inch tall

i like your modular concept for the terrain, great way to change up things by moving and rotating the tiles around.

We have a HUGE hobby shop in town that I'm sure has ACW figures. I can see this becoming a great activity to do with my kids. Thy are becoming little civil war buffs just like me. :)

I'll probably stick with the size that we have (20mm maybe?).. Its a travesty how much that store in Harpers Ferry charged for these guys, but they really are cool. They look hand painted, but done very well. Maybe I'll post some pics sometime.
