Warlord Games Epic Battles ACW New Plastic Cavalry, Zouaves, Dismounted Cavalry & Skirmishers Review

Its been a while since Epic ACW featured on the channel, and very kindly Warlord Games have sent me some pre-release (pre-production) frames for the up coming NEW PLASTIC Cavalry, Zouaves, Dismounted Cavalry & Skirmishers. I also take a quick look at the revised and updated starter set contents coming out at the same time.

Thanks Stuart, another good bit of support for Epic by the company, especially welcome as times are clearly getting harder for manufacturers.

[@Major_Problems]

Getting started with game the new bundles excites me!

[@miketike3246]

Plastic Zouaves, yes!!! Thanks for the info. Stewart!

[@aledroberts6580]

Great to see that Waord are investing in new plastic moulds. Which indicates that Epic ACW is still doing well in sales :)

I just painted up a union brigade and I'm about to finish a confederate one. when I finish painting up all 24 regiments you get in the starter set I was gonna get a box of the metal Zouaves for the confederates, and the iron brigade for the union. honestly I like the metal ones better because you get more Zouaves and I don't really want skirmishers or Calvary right now. Great video!

[@snaxalotl2901]

I was looking at adding a few zouaves to my existing force, and was pleasantly surprised to see them re-released in plastic. I also like the mixed approach to the new brigade boxes, at the previous metal prices I never would have likely invested in cavalry or skirmishers for my army, but can now have more variety which I wouldn't have considered previously. Great review!

[@warpaint9385]

This is perfect.

[@kelvinhawkins9535]

A sensible move to be honest. I really don't know of anyone now who enjoys working with metals. I'm sure it will certainly be a contributing factor driving future sales.

[@MinisMyWay]

I like the fact that it can horseholders, I can't find in lead and it's a good alternative. Thank you for the review!

[@simonwilliams3546]

Thanks again for another great video, nice to see you back with the ACW.

[@andrewwilson4975]

Thanks for this update. I have not bought into the ACW stuff as of yet. However, if I were to, I would build my units to be used with John Hill's Johnny Reb II. Doing so I would use the typical basing for those rule and require modifying the available sprues. By that I mean a ratio of 1-10 such that one stand would comprise two companies of five stands per regt/batt. Using these mini I think it is possible to recreate major ACW battles - start with First Bull Run to see how it works. What are others' thoughts on this?

[@stephenmarsh8821]

I'm happy to see these added to the ACW range.

[@leonleese4919]

Great idea producing the command groups available separately. Or they could be listening to user opinion 😎

[@e-4airman124]

thinking about these

[@ShakosAndSprues]

Great round up Stu, good to see the continued investment in the ACW Epic range that rounds it off nicley. I think Warlord have learnt plenty from the initial release, and took onboard feedback around the costly metal/resin packs, which I assume didnt sell as well as hoped. The new starter sets look good value for those wanting to take a dip into Epic ACW and offer a much more interesting mixed force.

[@Andrew-se4tg]

I would love to see warlord give us some decent firing/reloading lines, until then I'll stick with Perry miniatures, great video though!👍🍻

[@asgaard636]

I wonder if Warlord might release some different gun models ........

[@leonleese4919]

It’s a pity that they didn’t put the infantry in ranks of 5 instead of 10 to make every one happy 🙁

[@philstephenson5855]

Am I going mad, there seem to be 120 Zouaves there, but the box says 100?

[@regwirth3004]

Once again they haven't failed to disappoint. When they first announced this line I was very interested, but upon seeing the figures I was quickly turned off. The position of the regular infantry is something that is in none of the drill manuals. Now they've gone and dropped the mounted horse holder. That is how they did it. The horses of the dismounted troopers were linked to the holder's mount. This way his mount controlled the other horses, while he controlled his. One man on foot does not have the strength to control 4 horses.
