I'd love to know what – if anything – is down the pipeline for Napoleonics. These are lovely, though, and I'll be grabbing a box or two of Americans and Brits for Sharp Practice. |

.I think I am crying, right now. I can hardly wait- good news. |

Interesting that they have "Saratoga caps". Does this mean that they have also docked the coats? |
| JCBJCB | 26 Jan 2013 6:31 p.m. PST |
The rear shots of the figures look like they might be docked. |

What happened to 8th Army? C'mon man! |
| Suetonius Paullinus | 27 Jan 2013 5:18 a.m. PST |
Possibly their best plastic release so far! I will certainly preorder a few boxes. And buy some more at Salute ;-) One cannot have enough Redcoats after all.. Cheers SP |

Curses! Too late for Hotlead! |

Any ideas of what the number of figures per box might be? Looks like 5 figures per sprue for rank & file and 6 for command. I'm hoping for at least 36. |
| Supercilius Maximus | 28 Jan 2013 2:57 a.m. PST |
I think it's around that number. They usually put the equivalent of one or two battalions in each box @ 1:20. |
| GiloUK | 28 Jan 2013 5:01 a.m. PST |
Presumably they will at some stage make the command sprue available separately, like their other plastic sets, so if you're only making battalions of 16-20 figures you can buy an extra command set. |
John the OFM  | 28 Jan 2013 10:58 a.m. PST |
That extra command set is good to know. I am leery of buying boxed or bagged sets for unit sizes that are not what I use. My battalions are usually 18-24 figures. |
| Supercilius Maximus | 28 Jan 2013 11:35 a.m. PST |
There are actually six command figures in the box, and the two ensigns can be re-configured as extra officers/NCOs using spare arms, so two three-man command sets can be obtained from the one box anyway. |

Are these 25mm or 28mm?? If they are 28mm how do they measure up next to Old Glory 25mm?? |

Darn, too late for Cold Wars probably. I'll keep my powder dry and wait and hope for their release of continentals in hunting shirts (hint, hint!), hoping they'll offer a variety of hats, such as a Virginia Round (or Riflemen's) hat! (HINT! HINT! HINT!). There are a few early war Virginia regt's I want to put on a game table! |
| Suetonius Paullinus | 04 Mar 2013 3:34 p.m. PST |
The Redcoats are now available for preorder :-) Cheers SP |
| Karl von Hessen | 05 Mar 2013 6:31 p.m. PST |
Looks like 36 with 2 dead guys

Look extremely good. Better start saving now. Could be a lovely distraction |
| trailape | 07 Mar 2013 2:42 a.m. PST |
I've just ordered 3 boxes of the plastics and several sets of metals. Now waiting patiently,
. ;o) |
| kabrank | 07 Mar 2013 4:46 a.m. PST |
More details on the figures [whilst under development] here:- link Also a nice Camp in Metal [and the start on the WW2 Italians] link |
| trailape | 07 Mar 2013 3:27 p.m. PST |
The camp set looks fantastic. I must get one,.. :o) |
| Suetonius Paullinus | 15 Mar 2013 12:01 p.m. PST |
My preordered Redcoats arrived today! Without a shadow of a doubt the best of their plastic releases so far. (And great for converting the plastic Nap British as well :-)) Cheers SP |
