Hello mjy0628!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Baccus6mm.

Baccus is not only tops in products, they are also number 1 in customer service! So before you make any moves on plan B I would suggest you send an email to Baccus and explain your problem/concerns/plans etc. to them. You can rest assured that they will do whatever they can to help you out. In these difficult times they may not be able to do anything more, but maybe there is a way to help you out. So please take the time to contact them and see if there is something they can do that you didn't realize. It never hurts to ask and Baccus has always tried to help out their customers as best as they can.

Hope this helps.

I think it also needs to be reiterated that Peter has gone to great lengths to keep his staff and customers as safe as possible during a worldwide pandemic that has killed hundreds of thousands of people. He has done this to the detriment of his own business and to this end I think we owe it to him to show our support by exercising patience while the UK deals with the Corona Crisis and leaves lockdown for normality.

Building up your terrain and test playing whilst awaiting further troops sounds like a good plan.

You could check out the Irregular Miniatures site. They have a lot of scenics at 6mm including the Alamo and a wildwest fort plus a lot of tents.

Also, Leven Miniatures do 6mm Wild West buildings, including station, water tower and US cavalry fort. Total Battle Miniatures do a series of Americana buildings in 6mm including a town, useful for both ACW and the West. 

Warlord games has recently come out with ACW Epic scale. Normally, they made 28mm scale figures but I think it's sinking into them that many, if not most people, don't have a tennis court size battlefield to put into their homes (and stay happily married at least). Anyways, you may want to look at those.

Thanks again everyone for your feedback and suggestions.  I have a few things to tide me over and hopefully, Baccus will be able to ramp up safely sooner than later.

If I have read Peter's latest newsflash correctly, you may be able to order your troops in £50 instalments from now on.  Apologies if my misinterpretation of the latest news bulletin gives you false hope!  Hang in there!  Cheers  Colin

I believe you can but not at the same time. Once you get a notice that your order has been shipped you can place your next order. 

I am pretty sure you can only place the next order once your first Â£50 order has shipped.  I am hopeful that my first order will ship shortly as they were 150 orders away from mine a month ago so I think I was one of the first to order once they reopened.  Will see with next week's updates.

How about this process

You order a set, then before you can order more you have to post a pic of the fully painted and based order.

I know for me my over ambitious goals would disappear for ever.
