If that doesn't get the kid's interested I don't know what will. Great display.

thank you, they are mixed between "what are those" and "wow"

I appreciate the different uniforms and flags. Especially the yellow crowned Chasseaur's caps for some of your dismounted Cavalry.
No Yankees?....... Pity. (sarc)
Cheers! (And a Confederate battle yell. Sometimes called a Rebel Yell (( she cried more, more, more)). Shirley Temple has a great line in that old film. When referred to as a Rebel, she corrects the Yankee by saying, "I'm not a Rebel. I'm a Confederate" paraphrased.

You've done a lot of painting, and it looks like you paint very well.
I'm a bit surprised (in a good way), that your figures are displayed in a classroom.
How old are the students in your classroom and what grade do you teach? Do you use the figures in teaching your subjects?

High school freshmen. 14-15. 9th grade world History. Sometimes I do. In world history I use the figures from the MIddle ages, and the world wars. Where Im at in Georgia, we have pretty good support on thing like this. As long as I am showing figures from both sides, usually no one really cares. I even have some German Nazi figures when we study the world wars. Kids seem to like them

I believe I would have enjoyed being one of your students.

Im a little more "chill" after 28 years teaching, but some of them don't enjoy me on certain days!!! lolololol. But thank you, I realy enjoy students that appreciate history

I wonder if it could be used to pull kids off the video games onto the wargame board and into history?

interesting you say that. we also have gameday once a week. students have to play a vintage board game or card game not using phones or computers. I have risk, monopoly, stratego, several axis and allies, some very old Milton Bradley games like broadside, dog fight, and battleship. Ive partnered with a local gaming shop to use school funds to purchase more. These games involve maps, history, strategy, critical thinking, and cooperation with others. the directions are printed on the box in some cases. They get points and make up work credit for finishing them and writing reflections. I have some miniature rules sets, but nobody has tackled that one yet
