Heres a good photo of a brave southern sharpshooter taking aim at the advancing yankee "rabble"
Might want togive that skirmisher some instruction on how to take & utilize cover as a skirmisher ought to... there were quite a few of those western Union boys who could shoot rather straight.
THose Zouves sure do have nice pajamas...

Shane in defense of the said skirmisher .. In our Skirmish drill we are told we can use the surrounding cover but we must still keep some what our five pace interval. unfortunately no cover looks to be around except for some tall grass and the trees in the far background.
Not trying to be too critical, I just know how effective loading & firing from the prone postion is while skirmishing.
When those zouves die... can I give those jammies to my daughter?
