I just received the Russian army starter box by Warlord Games. In it there are 96 line infantry figures (1812-15 uniform), 32 Pavlovsk grenadiers, and one mounted officer. The Pavlovsk includes the usual command elements, but the line infantries do not – no standard bearers, drummers, officers on foot etc. Now where can I get command figures that goes well with the WG figures?

Their individual Russian infantry box set does include the command figures (each box is 28 infantry + 4 command), but WG doesn't seem to sell the command figures separately.

Haven't bought any of the starter boxes myself – but I'd check with Warlord Games first – sounds like they omitted to include the command within the box, by mistake.

Did you try contacting Warlord Games?

I'm not sure if that was a mistake, because even WG's picture of the box set's content doesn't show command figs for the line infantry, so I figured I just need to buy some separately.

I bought 4 boxes of 1812 Line Russians and in each box there is a separate bag of metal command, the rankers all being plastics. Therefore I suggest that Warlords are in error having forgotten to put the metal command bags into the boxes. Contact them I'd suggest.

are these 1/72, 28mm or 15mm?

They are 28mm.

Try contacting Warlord to see if you can putchase the command separately. I've had good service with them in the past. Otherwise, try some metal ranges for command. Perry makes a set, but they are rather casual.

It's no mistake, It's not a very well thought through product this Stater Army Box.

Perry have their Russian command sprue available separately – I purchased four of them myself.
