"You ask me if I will not be glad when the last battle is fought, so far as the country
is concerned I, of course, must wish for peace, and will be glad when the war is
ended, but if I answer for myself alone, I must say that I shall regret to see the
war end." - George Armstrong Custer
12th US Infantry
The 12th are one of the United State's oldest and most
decorated infantry regiments. They served in the War of
1812 and the Civil War prior to the later Indian Wars of
the late 19th century. | |
21st US Infantry
The 21st are a brand new regiment; constituted in May
of 1861 as the 2nd Battalion of the 12th Infantry, they
were reorganised into the 21st five years later after the
Civil War. | |
27th US Infantry
The 27th were originally absorbed by the 9th in 1869,
However, they were still reffered to as the 27th throu-
ghtout the wars. They took part in engagements, some
of which were Tongue River, Montana; Battle of the
Rosebud; and the Battle of Slim Buttes. | |
22nd US Infantry
After enjoying a relaxing spell on garrison duty after
the Civil War, the 22nd served in a series of frontier
forts on the Nortern Plains. They're noted for their
hit and run engagements in Montana, their particip-
ation in the Little Big Horn campaign, and more. | |
United States Marines
The US Marine Corps' reputation for being tough
soldiers is well deserved. From the end of the Civil
War to the closing of the 19th Century they were
involved in over 28 different interventions | |
4th US Cavalry
The 4th has been described as one of the most
effective regiments during the Plains Indian Wars
of the late 19th Century. Stationed on the Texas
Frontier, they cracked down on Indian and Com-
anche raids. | |
13th US Cavalry
The 13th Infantry are almost as old as the 12th;
although the 13th has been active and inactive
throughout the years. These mounted infantry
men were stationed with their regiment in Montana
and North Dakota between 1867 and 1871. | |
19th Mounted Infantry
The 19th Infantry were organised in 1861 at Indian-
apolis, Indiana. They were reorganised after the
Civil War; their mounted infantry helped play an
important role in the Indian Wars before they were
consolidated with the 28th Infantry. | |
Crow Scouts
Used by the United States Army during the
Great Sioux War, these native Americans
helped track Indians they perceived to be
hostile. They were noted for their involvement
in the Little Big Horn campaign, and some even
fought later in the Crow War of 1887. | |
United States Artillery
More mobile and deadly than ever, the new
modern artillery models allowed for the swift
turning of one's enemies into a bloody pulp.
The United States took advantage of the new
advancements, utilizing the British rejected
Armstrong Gun and other new designs.
Depicted here is an 1860 Dahlgren Gun that
replaces the NW fort cannons. | |
Not only does the US have all the glory that comes with the Army and Navy, they will also have access to Native troops: tomahawk and club wielding footmen, deadly bow warriors, and skilled riders. If you think the United States Marine Corps pack a punch, wait until you get into close combat with these fellows...
Many thanks to everyone who contributed to the new faction! Will did all the new uniforms (isn't that scarf fantastic? And the 22nd tunic?); and many thanks to Hinkel's donations here as well, you are a marvellous person (vielen dank)!
