USCT wait for battle!

I have finished painting my brigade of US coloured troops and just like in the real war these brave men must patiently wait for battle!

They served with distinction and according to Wikipedia:
"USCT regiments fought in all theaters of the war, but mainly served as garrison troops in rear areas. The most famous USCT action took place at the Battle of the Crater during the Siege of Petersburg. Regiments of USCT suffered heavy casualties attempting to break through Confederate lines. Other notable engagements include Fort Wagner, one of their first major tests, and the Battle of Nashville.[11]"

I asked Andrew if we could recreate this battle but he thought he would get in trouble for blowing a hole in his dining room table. learn more here
