Not sure exactly what you mean. The basic brigade boxes contain 3 identical sprues, with the contents of each sprue varying from box to box. Generally speaking, each infantry sprue has a “command row” with flag bearers, and officer model on horseback, and 7 rows of infantry – enough to make 4 stands. Then, they have unique models depending on which brigade box you have (artillery, skirmishers, and/or cavalry). The British infantry brigade box sprus are a little unique in that each sprue also has 2 rows of rifles (1 stand), along with the models for an artillery stand.
The French Infantry spue is unique in that it has 4 rows of infantry in greatcoats, 3 rows of infantry in standard uniform, the command row (standard uniform), officer on horseback, models for artillery stand, and a bunch of individual models to make skirmisher stands.
And all the other brigade boxes have little differences, but the infantry brigade sprues generally have enough to make 4 stands of infantry per sprue (12 stands/box).
3 Boxes of Iron Brigade on pre-order. Thank you Warlord Games. Looks like they are resin, too. (which I prefer).
Black Powder Epic Battles: American Civil War Iron Brigade – Warlord Games US & ROW
I would like to give this a bump because I only recently became aware of Epic scale wargaming (both Napoleonic and ACW), and as a Wisconsinite my Union army wouldn’t be complete without the Iron Brigade. I have been on the fence with making the investment into Epic scale because I have some concerns whether the epic scale models are going to be one-offs, or if there are plans to reproduce some of the current molds or if they have ruled out plans to do other ACW & especially other Napoleonic battles. It would be reassuring to see that at some point there is plan to do an Austerlitz, Borodino, and/or Leipzig Epic Battle so that we would have Russian, Austrian and maybe some earlier French models. The Waterloo models seem incomplete without Dutch and Belgian units, although I can somewhat understand the exclusion since making the molds are expensive, so much so that Esci molds used to make the 1:72 soldiers I played with as a kid in 80’s and 90’s are still used by Italeri to make the same models today.
