Bonjour Chaps, I noticed yesterday that there had been an entry on Von Peter's blog – see below – in August 2016 showing some new Calpe Saxon Grenadiers. vonpeterhimself.wordpress.com Scroll down to find the Saxons. They look really great and I've asked Calpe when we might be able to order them. I'm a great fan of Westfalia Saxons too, just finished painting my first 6 battalions of theirs, but Calpe does excellent figures too and a variety of units is always great. Cheers, Paul |

Thanks Paul, I love Calpe figures. Peter adds little details that look great, shoes, cooking pans, extra blankets etc. |

Is the Calpe range still being added too? It seems to have gone very quiet over the last year and a half. |

Calpe also have new Saxon Division and Brigade commanders . Peter does take along time to update the web page but his Saxons are the best . |

Hi Rivoli Veteran, That's good to know. It would be splendid if Peter could let us know the new codes. I've e-mailed Peter bu have heard nothing yet. When I do I'll let you know too. After all I'd like to order some if I can. Cheers, Paul Cheers, Paul |

Greetings Chaps, Just got some information from Peter at Calpe. "The Saxon grenadiers are now complete. I am, in fact, deciding on the code numbers for the grenadier command packs and getting the photos ready for the website this week. I will also be releasing one divisional command pack and two brigade command packs for the Saxons. The code numbers for these are SC1 (four man divisional command), SC2 (three man brigade command), SC3 (second brigade command pack)." I can't wait to see them and place an order. They'll go well with the Westfalia Saxons which I'm waiting at the moment. Cheers, Paul |

Glad to hear new figures are coming online. What about some late napoleonic war French Cavalry in proper campaign dress? |

Naw……loads of them already……adda rolled cloak or two, cover the shako or helmet with greenstuff, job's done! …. earlier French cavalry in parade dress (dressing down and chopping off is easier than adding on). That is what we all want…(if you all only knew it) |
