PB3 The American Civil War

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This is a set of PDF files for printing paper stand up figures and scenery for fighting tabletop battles of the American Civil War.  It is provided as a collection of counters and scenery - how you choose to use the various parts in your games is left entirely up to you. It contains both Union and Confederate armies comprising infantry, cavalry, artillery and scenery.

PDF files include:

  • Infantry bases in march attack, march column and in reserve
  • Cavalry bases in line, column and dismounted firing line/skirmish (including horse holders)
  • Field artillery both deployed and limbered
  • Generals
  • Casualties
  • Walls, fences, trees and rural buildings

The figures and terrain use very stylised graphics intended to be evocative of period photographs. You can download a free sample from my website or from Wargame Vault. The set includes both "Small Scale" 40 x 20mm bases (figure height approx 10-15mm) and "Large Scale" 60 x 30mm bases (figure height approx 20-25mm). each PDF file can be printed on both International A4 and US Letter sized paper.

The pieces in this set follow the same basic construction techniques used with my English Civil War set. I would recommend using your printer's best/better print settings and good white paper (I use 90gsm which adds a feeling of quality to the finished pieces). Also, if you decide to trim the pieces (as shown in the pictures below) the final effect can be enhanced by colouring any white cut edges with a dark brown felt tip or marker.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
