The most basic infantry building block was the infantry regiment (referred to as a battalion in Hardees drill manual, which was used by both sides). In both North and South the infantry regiments were organised on similar lines. Unlike the North, the general policy of the Confederacy was to send raw recruits to reinforce existing regiments in an effort to keep them at fighting strength. This also bestowed the recruits with the benefit of learning from more experienced fighters. This box contains enough miniatures to make: Three Regiments (of 100 men each), Three Cannons, Three Mounted Commanders.
