"15mm Guns for 1788-90 Russo-Swedish War?" Topic

Before I jump in, a few questions. First, Falcon UK does not make artillery for their 1788 Russo-Swedish War range. I am guessing that Seven Years War or American War of Independence guns could be used? If so, what ones (specific manufacturers and/or suggested gun sizes)?

Second, there was a long thread from Laros6006 about commissioning more figures for the Falcon range…were those two figures ever added to the current listing?

The thread: TMP link

The Falcon list: link

And third, is ordering from Falcon "safe?" Their website is still missing a slew of their items after having the newer site for quite some time now, they have had some issues with communication, and perhaps the existing shopping cart is really nothing more than a black hole?

Ah, I knew I had some info already…last year in an email from Swampking he gave me the following info:

The artillery was organized into batteries of mostly 6 guns with 2 howitzers, though in the field in Finland, it was not uncommon to see batteries of 3 guns and 1 howitzer – mostly the Swedes, Norwegians and Russians used 1 pdr., 3 pdr. and 6 pdrs. in the field.

I ordered some figures from Falcon about a month ago. No problems. However, I sent my order my email. I didn't use their shopping cart.

Found this (with no reply) on Falcon's Facebook page…doesn't bode well…

I placed an order back in mid December. My credit card was charged within 24 hours, but no order has arrived yet. I emailed you guys and I got a reply which was that Falcon Figs is family run and not your first jobs. This is not exactly good customer service even if all the above is correct. I would appreciate knowing when you plan on picking my order and if it was shipped is there a tracking number? Some of the figs were a gift. Cheers.

I am surprised to hear that you have had problems with Falcon Figures. I have often ordered figures from them and have received excellent service.

I am in Belgium.

Irregular Miniatures has a Seven Years War range as well as a "really useful guns" section. The SYW range does have a canon but the useful gun section is mostly WWI & WWII but some pre-1900 pieces.

Broglie – How did you place your order…via phone or using their website?

ZOC – The Irregular RUG range consists of pieces from the late 1800s through WWII. I need guns from 100 years prior, so their SYW pieces may work.

Thanks!

I ordered using e-mail and they sent me a Paypal invoice which worked out very well.

I was thinking of your original query afterwards and I bought some Austrian guns from their Napoleonic Range (I think it was Napoleonic – it might have been SYW??)

Sorry for the delay in replying.
