All the suppliers I have looked at depict flank companies. Does anyone do them with shoulder tufts rather than shoulder wings? |

The only British Line figures I have found are Armies in Plastic : link In their rather excitable poses or the old Timpo ones. Everyone produces guards or flank companies with wings. I have suggested this to Hat as a set as they are looking at what to crowdfund next. Mike |

I'd vote for that – with separate backpacks (or even heads) they could double for Hanoverian militia as well. I am not a fan of the AiP stuff – too toylike for my tastes. CTA are the best but patchy – the Dutch Line are poor, the French line nice but tiny and the British flank companies and Light excellent but big compared to everything else. |

Have you looked at the white metal figures from All The King's Men?

Doesn't Victrix make some? Worth checking their site. |

@ dBerczerk – yes, but a bit steep given they are a heavy package to UK from USA. @ cavcrazy – No, Airfix are flank company too. @ 79th – No, they are all Peninsular flank company. |

Irregular Metal ones are centre companies but that might get a bit pricey… |

Hi Mike You need to be signed up with OpenID or someone to do so, which I object to. It seems like a total no-brainer though. If you wanted maximum flexibility you could even do separate top and bottom halves, then offer kilted legs for Highlanders…. |

Hope you don't mind 4th "British Line – with centre and elite company distinctions, and choice of hats. On TMP, 4th Cuirassier suggested this, but said he couldn't log on here. So this is me raising it as "two people" " Great suggestion Marc Me, I would like really definitive French infantry – the new HaT 1/72 look suitable if they could be scaled up. Need matching centre and flank companies and command. Would knock spots off the competition |

Sorry 4th, reading that again I realise I didn't actually say – I have posted this onto the HaT 1/32 page. Here's hoping – my 1/32 project stalled for a number of reasons (gaps in the ranges available) |
