I'm loving it. Next stop beta lol!

Hello boys I'm back! What I miss?

Nice wagon.

HAHAHAHAHA!! YES! Some special units! I never thought I would see them so soon, looks like you did a good job. Are you planning on releasing those with the first edition? If so, are there any others you will be releasing? Cheers, Biv

Yeah an update sounds fine, I can wait.

Yeah Harleys right. I used to shoot those things when i was a cadet and they got stoppages every five minutes. And don't even get me started on the LSW variant... goddam Brit guns

Hey could you make sure that the galloping noises are fairly realistic? The CWmod one sort of grated on my ears after a while lol Cheers Biv

lol hey gav could you give us a progress report on the special units? if you have started them of course anyway still loving that steamboat keep up the good work laddies Cheers, Biv

I wanna ride the pwetty horsey!!!

Haven't been able to check this for a while (I'm a Yank but still gotta do these freaking English exams grrrr A levels suck ass). Love the horse and such, also quite like that steamer. <envisions a shootout between outlaws and riverboat gamblers at the dock>. The Quantrill's guerillas idea ain't too shabby, in fact I think we dug up some stuff on them a while ago during the special units phase. If you do end up using the guerillas, I believe I posted a pic which you could probably use way back. Anyhoo keep up the pace lads I canny wait til the release! lol... Cheers Biv

Hunky-dory.

And of course to Gavin, for masterminding and leading the entire mod!!! <Raises glass of sherry in a toast> Merry Christmas all! Biv

Excellent guns gents. Especially love some of those faces and the CSA on the butt of the muskets, very nice touch.

that pistol is B-E-A-utiful. Keep it up

Bummer.

What sort of delay will you have between House Divided and House Divided II? <tries to conceal 'oh man...'> Biv

Hey little fatso I've read 'Rifles for Watie' too. Damn good book, I recommend it. Nice swords too by the way. Biv

Can do.

Hey Gavin have you got any unit shots you could post? Pretty please... Biv

Nice bridge man, looks like it'll be pretty fun to play with... Ahhhhhhhh... so nice to hear some news after that period of silence lol... Biv

hey the thread has been quiet for a while... any news?

love the music man...

Hey there, got another Reb company for you... The Clinch Rifles were organized as a militia company on March 22, 1851, from the Clinch Engine Company No. 2.The company was named for General Duncan L. Clinch the commander at the Battles of Withlacoochee [December 31, 1835] and The Cove [March 31, 1836] of The Seminole Wars.The company adopted the motto “Charge Again†after General Clinch’s order at the Battle of Withlacoochee [near the present town of Dunnellon, Florida] to attack the enemy again. This second attack routed the enemy and won the battle. These guys seem to be pretty good in terms of their service record, and their uniform was rather interesting as well, seen below: I am pretty sure this is how the regiment would have appeared (albeit rather more dirty), but I have found a source which stated that they elected green as their unit colour, with 'elegant gold buttons and braid plus a French style cap'. I believe that the unit was not quite as elegant as this, considering that it was a rebel militia unit, so the picture above is probably more accurate, and includes the gold buttons which I found mentioned. The 'French-style' cap is also included, and I would be inclined to think that the regiment probably was black as pictured above. Hope that works out for you, tell me if you need any more information about the unit. Oh and Gavin, tell me what you think about the KKK idea, if its not something you want then thats fine I just figured they were a pretty big part of life in the post-war South so should be included. Also if you have completed any of the 'special' regiments, could you post a few piccies? I'd just like to see how they are coming on lol . Cheers, Biv

Have just had an idea, tell me what you think. The first branch of the Ku Klux Klan was established in Pulaski, Tennessee, in May, 1866. A year later a general organization of local Klans was established in Nashville in April, 1867. Most of the leaders were former members of the Confederate Army and the first Grand Wizard was Nathan Forrest, an outstanding general during the American Civil War. During the next two years Klansmen wearing masks, white cardboard hats and draped in white sheets, tortured and killed black Americans and sympathetic whites. Immigrants, who they blamed for the election of Radical Republicans, were also targets of their hatred. Between 1868 and 1870 the Ku Klux Klan played an important role in restoring white rule in North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. Despite the stigma that is attached to the KKK, I think it would be relevant to the mod if they were included, considering what an incredibly powerful force they were in the post-war years, which is the period which House Divided is covering. I don't think that I really need to post a picture of the KKK uniform lol, its pretty universally known... also I don't want to get by anyone for 'inciting racial hatred' . Anyhoo, the sort of thing I had in mind would have them as a primarily 'civilian' group, with units carrying either nothing, American flags or flaming crosses. Also perhaps a flaming cross object might be relevant. A 'resistance' model might also be used which could be armed, as I'm sure you know they were rather violent. This is just a suggestion; if anyone has any strong objections on moral grounds etc please voice them, I'm just suggesting the Klan on a historical basis. Cheers, Biv

Hunter... B-E-A-utiful my good man I love the gatling gun. Gavin... do you need any more regiments or other things? I have a couple but if you have your hands full or don't need any than I won't bother. Nice work Shinkansen those models looks really nice by the way. Biv
