"Old Glory 15's Hanoverian pack contents" Topic

Does anyone know how many of each figure type the following pack have?

I'm thinking about getting some lights for my Anglo/Allied army but not sure what they include. Most of my figures are OG 15's with some Essex

Legion Britanique: How many infantry/cav?

Luckner Hussars, Mounted Gren, and Freytag Jagers: How many of each?

See link

Clicking on each item gives you the exact breakdown.

Re. the Legion, they're different from the regular figures, but really nothing special. If you have sufficient leftovers from your Hanoverian infantry and cavalry or dragoons, you could just as easily paint-convert them.

The Hussars etc. pack is better value in my opinion.

@ Musketier,

The changes to the OG15s website is recent as I order figures about 40 plus days ago. Nice layout and the photos can be enlarged further which is great.

@ balldearg,

If skirmishers are listed then most likely they would be in a variety of firing or loading poses. If you do not mind your lights to be marching or advancing poses, then follow Musketiers suggestion.

My own allied skirmishers, I used excess skirmishing Prussians for them. Pompom is clipped off and replaced with a bit of putty to simulate a sprig of oak leaves.

Cheers.

@ timurlank,
That's quite possible – I only recently came back to OG15s, and that may well have been within your 40-odd days. Funnily the detailed listings don't extend to the whole range, but with the Hanoverians we're lucky!

@ balldearg,
The Legion figures are in marching poses, slightly more energetic than the line but not fundamentally different, hence my suggestion to use Line and paint over the lapels (such as do show). The Jaeger if memory serves are advancing. If you want firing poses then the Prussian Musketeers firing (SYP11) may indeed be the only option, and timurlank's suggestion for converting the pom-pom sounds great. At 15mm we can get away with a few approximations…

I have always found Old Glory 15s to be enormously helpful and if you ring them up and ask them nicely they will tailor bags to your requirements – more command sets, ensigns, more grenadiers, fewer grenadiers, that sort of thing.

Be warned that the artillery pack is simply the Austrian pack with a different label… as is the French artillery pack. Bloody annoyed when I bought all three packs to find that they were identical.

@ RMD,
The latter must have been a packing or labelling mistake: My SYW French are distinct from the "Austro-Hanoverians", including some gunners in sleeved waistcoats and different guns. Mind you, I had Hanoverian Horse and Dragoons packaged with each other's musicians – although that was nearly 10 years ago. I've been assured this was corrected with the new, smaller packs.

@22ndFoot,
Thank you, I had no idea it was possible to customise packs. That's very good to know – even if ordering direct from the US to Europe brings with it the risk of being hit by Customs…

No mistake, though it was about 15 years ago, when Old Glory still owned the Old Glory 15mm line. A friend also got Austrian artillery packaged as 'French'. I discussed it at the time with Andy Copestake of Old Glory UK, so perhaps they modelled some Frenchies after that date?

Thanks everyone for the help. I didn't realize you could see the contents of the packs by clicking on the link.

Probably leaning towards the Luckner pack, as I'm not sure I need all those Leg. Brit. yet.

I remember the mixed up musicians in the Han Cav, but eventually figured it out.

Also, the Hanoverian and Austrian artillery were the same figs (just had to paint lapels on the Hanoverians)when I got em ten years ago but the guns were different.

Was trying to upload a picture of my French gunners, but somehow it doesn't work. If interested I can e-mail it.
