I know there are at least two companies now making plastic 28mm Napoleonic figures, Perry and Victrix (have I missed any) but none have released Austrians/Prussians/Russians, right?

Is that due to change? If so, when?

Thanks.

No rush. They were only minor players in the grand scheme of things. evil grin

When a non-British company makes them … ;)

Besides, didn't you know that the rest of those continental armies were just minor actors in what is properly known as the Great Peninsular War (and Low Country Showdown)?

43210 beat me to it …

LOL! That was a close one! I usually fire second! grin

Victrix have already said they will, just give them time, but I have no idea when and for sure its not any time soon.

Companies need to make money or they won't survive and I guess they are making what they believe will make them the most money first.

Buy them in metal, don't wait. The Perrys are doing 1815, and other than maybe Prussians, it won't happen with them.

Victrix said one day they will, but by the time they finish their French and British range (in different eras AND scale none the less), it will be years before we see any Continental Powers…

With 1809 being my favorite campaign season and the Peninsula at the other end I've resigned myself to waiting a while. It's not like I have a shortage of unfinished projects! :-)

Indeed, despite knowing that my country wasn't the major player, I'm still drawn to the theatres where they fought. I think Wargamer43210 is right; if there was a continental company making hard plastics, they would probably start with ranges that were important to their country.

- With 1809 being my favorite campaign season and the Peninsula at the other end -

We think alike.

1809 was a very rich season. Charles' contributions to the period tend to be underappreciated. :-)

Yes, 1809 is the best. I am finally reading Thunder On The Danube and enjoying it very much.

If you need enough of them you can order them from Wargames Factory.

HaT list 28mm Prussians, Bavarians and Wurttemberg as future ranges.

"If you need enough of them you can order them from Wargames Factory."

I was about to mention the same thing. there'r a few listed for their 100 club (or whatever they call it) and i've put in my lot.

Or how about some cavalry and artillery?
