1.Do they stand compatible? They seem to but have not seen the two in Actual life standing together.
2. Is the Great War -Crimean War range "kaput"? No more additions? Chasseurs D'Afrique, Zouazes, artillery? British Dragoons? French Hussars? Turks?
3. I have heard rumors of casting issues with foundry, I can't believe it! And what is in a pack of models 6 foot or 8 foot, I'm assuming it is still three horse…..
-is anyone going to historicon that is carrying these models?

The Foundry figures are smaller than the Great War figures. I don't think it is outside the normal range of human variance in size and mix them freely in my forces, but other people don't like that the equipment is differently sized.

I have only had the same range in quality of casting with Foundry that I have normally seen in the past, i.e. most of the stuff is good but you get the odd duffer pack. And by odd I mean like one in 50.

I've got some in mixed units but the Foundry stuff is slightly raised with 1.5mm ply under the base.

Great War seem on the large side. Our Askari Minis are more the Foundry size and we have Chasseurs, Zouaves and Tirailleurs.
