The last couple of days since we have been talking about Civil War theme on
Future Wild West Possibilities thread I still see no reason why there should be
no Civil War theme.
In the wild west sets if you look at the soldier's flags they are not american
flags. They are just blue with two swords crossed, but we all know that it
represents America. I mean if you look at the castle sets you have your royal
knights and fright knights etc. but we really know that historicaly it was
British, French, Spanish, etc. My point is that you could do the same for the
south gray flags with two swords crossed for examples and give them another
name like rebels (no one should get an uproar about that name star wars uses it
for crying out loud). Just an example.
You don't have to put slaves in the sets. That makes no since. What purpose
would they serve? Hard feelings? Just work around them. It could be a
fictionalized series just like other themes do. It doesn't have to be 100%
accurate it's only a toy.
Just wondering what everyone thinks. I have already heard a lot of good points
but just thought I would keep asking.
