They can also be used as US Cavalrymen of the Indian Wars period.

REP CW1 Available in 3 colours, butternut, blue or grey.
The Raiders
Six confederate cavalrymen fighting on foot. They are wearing a mixture of military and civilian clothes and are armed with a variety of personal weapons, all authentic for the civil war.
We think of Confederate cavalry as romantic figures with feathers in their hats and braiding in their jackets; they probably thought of themselves that way too at the outset of the conflict; but in the American Civil War there were relatively few engagements where mounted troopers charged sabre in hand, in the manner of their predecessors from earlier wars; a new method of cavalry deployment was being pioneered by these men: they would ride quickly to where troops were needed, then dismount and fight like infantry, with a few of their number assigned the role of horse-holder

REP CW5 Dismounted Confederate Cavalrymen, moulded in grey plastic.
Confederate Horse-Holder
When cavalrymen fought on foot a proportion of their number were detailed to wait in the rear of the line with the mounts.

REP CW6 One dismounted Confederate Horse-holder: moulded in grey plastic, plus two civil war horses, available in a variety of colours: black, white, dark brown and tan.
Mounted Figure
Mounted figure in greatcoat with sprue of four different heads including ACW kepi and slouch hat.

REP M3 Figure in grey, heads in white, horse in brown.
Berdan's Sharpshooters
These were the original snipers, formed during the American Civil War as marksmen, they often picked off enemy officers while hiding in trees or bushes.

REP CW9 Set of three in green plastic
ACW Stretcher Set
This set is made up of a wounded man on a stretcher clutching a bottle, carried by four bearers in a variety of battleworn uniforms. These figures also have conversion potential; the wounded man could be used for many periods, possibly as a drunk.

REP CW10 Four stretcher bearers in blue or grey, stretcher in tan

Harpers Ferry
The Harpers Ferry raid of 1859 was the trigger for the American Civil War. John Brown, with a band of men, captured the US arms depot at Harpers Ferry. His intention was to distribute weapons to start a slave uprising throughout the South. A detachment of marines commanded by Robert E Lee was sent to lay siege to the building. They were successful and most of Brown's men were killed or captured; but the whole incident inflamed hostility towards the institution of slavery on the part of those in the North.
