Dismounted cavalry for the ACW armies

This past week I've been working away at the next (and possibly nearing the last) stage in building my 15mm American Civil War armies: the dismounted cavalry stands to match the cavalry stands I completed a month or three ago. In Volley and Bayonet terms, in the ACW period cavalry regiments dismount as linear infantry stands with reduced firepower, representing the smaller units and the number of men detached to act as horse holders when the regiment fights dismounted.

The mounted regiments are Minifigs figures, while the dismounted figures are Essex miniatures.
