Collection: King & Country Civil War Era - Toy Soldiers

King & Country's Civil War range is smaller and more focused than W. Britain's. The Union side centers on Little Round Top — Brigadier General Strong Vincent's brigade, which scrambled into position on the afternoon of July 2, 1863, and held the Union left at Gettysburg against Hood's Texans. Vincent was mortally wounded that day; his pre-war regimental commander, Colonel John W. McLane of the 83rd Pennsylvania, had been killed at Gaines's Mill the previous summer. The Confederate side is anchored by Lee and Stuart and a complete cluster of 29th Texas Cavalry troopers — a Trans-Mississippi regiment that fought in Arkansas and Indian Territory.

The named anchors are Brigadier General Strong Vincent and Colonel John W. McLane on the Union side, and General Robert E. Lee with Major General J.E.B. Stuart on the Confederate. The Union infantry come in the full firing-line sequence — loading, ramming, capping, firing, charging with bayonets — plus color bearers with the Stars and Stripes, a regimental flag, a drummer boy, a lieutenant with sword, and the two multi-figure scenes Casualties of War and Carried Off, both depicting wounded soldiers being helped from the field.

The cavalry are split between the sides. Federal troopers cover the dismounted carbine drill — kneeling, prone, loading, firing — and the mounted officer firing pistol. The 29th Texas Cavalry forms a complete mounted regiment in itself: trooper aiming, loading, corporal holding carbine, sergeant firing, officer, trumpeter, and flagbearer. K&C figures are 1/30 scale matte-painted metal — the same scale and finish as W. Britain, which means the two ranges build dioramas together. Mix Vincent's brigade with W. Britain's defenders of the Round Tops, or set the K&C 29th Texas Cavalry alongside W. Britain's 1st Virginia Cavalry for a full Confederate mounted line.
