For you shall someday want them again.
About three years ago I had a large pile of plastic Spencer Smith ACW Infantry, Cavalry and Artillery.
There was probably enough of everything to build complete armies for the Union and Confederate sides. With sufficient leftovers to do things like staff groups, crews for paddle steamers, fortress gunners, engineers and all that.
Naturally I sold it all off as I had decided to do ACW with my Tradition 25s. At the time a difficult decision as I had really liked the look of John Preece's collection shown in The Wargame Companion and absolutely agonised over the choice.
Now of course I've gone and looked at the pictures again and thought well, you know what, I'd really like to do a few.
Learn from my sad example.
