Title says it all really – weren't they mentioned at Salute 2013? |

They realised they would hardly sell any and decided to focus on boxes people might actually buy? |

I think they are not a priority, pity as i need a load. |

Back before the plastics explosion, I would have agreed with dandandan.
Now I am not so sure. The Cossack Pioneers in Pelisse set should be out in May, I have reliably been told. |

It does seem odd. I've visited their site probably once a month, to check in on this. I would love to see some new Crimean Russians. Even metal would be fine. Seems like their whole Crimean range has been put on pause. The Crimea has gotten rather little love for all this "golden age" of wargaming. |

If folks need Foundry Crimean unpainted I have a ton acquired when Foundry "discontinued" the line years ago and I bought up all I could find. Of course it has returned at higher prices. Let me know what you need. Russian and British. |

Thinking about it more, maybe they finished them, and are holding them back for the 300th anniversary. |

I think the Crimean is just too niche for plastics at this point. The current metal(old Radetzsky?)that Warlord has plus the Great War range seem to do a decent job of satisfying the customer base. I just find it hard to believe that they would ever recoup the tooling costs. I would be pretty shocked if some of the ranges that Warlord do currently have made back the initial investment such as the Zulu range and the plastic early Russians. Heck, the four boxes of Russians I picked up were all on 50% off clearance. |

If the story from Salute is to be believed then they have the '3ups' or whatever already made. Seems odd to go to the trouble of making the masters and then not going ahead with production. |

Perhaps the tooling costs were too high and the figures themselves unworkable for traditional metal? |

Will these ever see the light of day? |
