So I ordered a packet of British Legion by Peter Pig. The command pack had three ensigns/flag poles, which seemed kind of a rip off to me. I was wondering if this was a mis-pack or others have received a useless third colour bearer as well?

You get three poses with PP command packs. Usually a pair of one sculpt and two lots of three of the other poses.

Which poses are which are entirely pot luck.

A rip off LOL!

You get 8 figures across 3 different poses in all PP infantry packs, excellent choice in my view. If you wish specific poses within the pack then e-mail the frendily team and they will oblige (slightly higher cost).

Might work in the UK, but I bought mine via retail from Brookhurst Hobbies, a US company that imports them.

Shame on Peter Pig for putting three standard bearers into the same command pack for a specialized unit that had only two colours.

I'm not aware of people carrying muskets at such odd angles, especially since the rest are charging, not carrying it straight up – like a flag pole.

It makes no sense they would purposely put three ensigns in a command pack- one too many for a battalion (rip-off), one short for a second battalion – which in the case of the British Legion, didn't exist.

So, mistake or business as usual? I'd like to know before I buy anymore PP command packs.
