I'm also thinking that I read somewhere that Brig. Young's forces were silghtly smaller. Sounds as if you're right in line with their thinking. The troops really look great by the way. - MikejustMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11181990096900827232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-61149251837690926742011-10-20T02:14:07.670+11:002011-10-20T02:14:07.670+11:00You should only stop raising new regiments when yo...You should only stop raising new regiments when you have maxed out on your wargame table size.

Perhaps they continue to wear black "in mourning" for their original inhaber, an ealier Duke of Alzheim?<br /><br />Besides, it would be one less unit you'd have to paint. If it were me, I'd leave them as Phil painted them . . . and just come up with a story to explain the reason for the difference . . .
