Hard to tell from the photos but do any of the ACW infantry packs come with soldiers in light kit? Looking to acquire enough like this for Fenians to face off against the Canadian militia. Thanks!

Union foot firing 2 (ACW4) has two poses, one kneeling with nothing and one reloading with a blanket roll

Confederate firing 1 (acw9)  has one reloading  figure with nothing wearing a kepi, and one kneeling with a hat

Dismounted cavalry don't have much kit and the dismounted raiders might have some good poses you can use.

Confederate marching type 1 has two figures without anything, wearing hats.


Do you need kepis or hats?

A mix of slouch hats and kepis without either backpack or blanket roll would be ideal.

You have about 6-8 poses without anything in both kepi and hat, maybe possible to ask leon to only send figures without?

As they are militia, i would definately look at the dismounted cavalry and raiders, they would be using different styles of weaponry i guess, so some poses without bayonets would be useful!

Also, maybe anybody around here knows the amount of kit on the old acw range? Maybe they have less?
