I prefer to buy my soldiers in a march pose.  I have always wondered why miniatures sculpted outside of America for ACW are mostly always shown at left shoulder arms or left shoulder shift?  The right shoulder was the predominate shoulder used in the ACW.  Now that being said, they still look great painted up and nobody usually notices anyway what shoulder is used. Just curious.
(I have thousands of 6mm Baccus ACW at left shoulder arms and no ever notices)

Im not sure why but its probably just the sculpters choice,  after I get some new 10mm Pendraken ACW and  Austrian and French napoleonic troops  I might just sample some 6mm baccus just for fun.
