I have been wanting to eliminate the table-top clutter from my ACW games. I while ago I made some markers using miniatures for morale (shaken and routed), and low on ammo. I recently saw some great Napoleonic markers on the blog-o-sphere and wanted to try my hand at an ACW version.
I will use these for small games, with 12 or less units per side, and I think it will be a great way to eliminate the pipe cleaners I normally use to mark casualties. Let me know what you think! Here are some iPhone pictures:

Now they're impressive Cory, well done Sir.
