I use these figures for wargaming, and I cannot recommend them enough. The main draw of this set are the 16 mounted men in nine poses. You have one figure each of a color bearer, a bugler, and two poses that could pass for officers. These poses are nice, and they are supplemented by 7 troopers across three different saber-waving poses, 3 figures in a pose firing a carbine, and 2 figures in a pose with a shotgun. All in all, it is a nice-looking mix, and it goes a long way to creating a pleasingly varied armament for the mass of cavalry. I feel like there are a few too many sabers in the mix, but other cavalry offerings out the have significantly more firearms, so the numbers balance out quickly. The other figure is a small vignette thing with a trooper sheltering behind the body of his dead horse firing a pistol. Useless for making a unit, it could make a very nice marker of some kind with a little imagination. There are no dismounted figure in this set, but those can be acquired easily elsewhere; most notably from other Italeri and IMEX sets. This set is really good, and it gets my strong recommendation. After painting and basing, it fits in well with the following sets I use: Italeri Set 6012 “Union Infantry with Zouaves,” Italeri Set 6013 “Union Cavalry,” Italeri Set 6038 “Union Artillery,” Italeri Set 6014 “Confederate Infantry,” IMEX Set 505 “Union Infantry,” IMEX Set 503 “Union Cavalry,” IMEX Set 501 “Union Artillery,” IMEX Set 506 “Confederate Infantry,” IMEX Set 502 “Confederate Artillery,” and IMEX Set 504 “Confederate Cavalry.”

A great set with highly detailed pieces, I like the fact that both the Union and Confederate soldiers are all the same color so that way you can paint them according to your needs, However after careful examination of both I could see a few differences to set them apart. I will definitely get some more in order to add them to my cavalry forces.

This set is the best. Has several different poses with a variety between pistols, carbines, sabers, butler, flag bearer and officers. In addition to the varied poses, another huge draw for me was the vast detail on the troopers as well as the horses. Must have addition.
