I was wondering if anyone could: A. Help me figure out a US distributor that has the BFAS miniatures in stock. B. Help guide me as to other good alternatives in 15mm for the Eastern Renaissance period. I got the rulebook for my birthday and I have to say it's one of the nicest I have ever owned. I really want to get into it, but I need minis… Thanks again-

While I really like the rules, I have been less impressed with the range of miniatures offered. For my Polish/Lithuanian army I have used a combination of Essex, Old Glory 15s and Legio Heroica. OG15s are widely available in the US and Essex has a couple of US distributors as well, iirc. I don't know whether LH has a US distributor but I have always ordered direct from Italy with no difficulty, though I am in Canada. |

Alcibiades- I was thinking of doing exactly what you have done. Wargamer's miniatures look really nice- but I'm not sure I can justify the price and the lack of availability makes that worse. |

As far as US retailers go there are two on the BFAS site. link and link OMM only appears to have the rules though. |
