I remember buying some Hinchcliffe 25mm Polish Voltigeurs in 1976. They were very stocky men and very well fed! compared to todays offerings.
I returned to Napoleonic wargaming last year and now use Perry's and Warlord 28mm figures. In my opinion, and it is my opinion, things have much improved. |

I never had the Hinchliffe Polish voltiguers, but many of the old Hinchliffe figures I did have were positively skinny – Pavlov grenadiers, Hanoverian militia, marching Highlanders and French voltiguers. Are you sure they weren't Front Rank? |

Hinchliffe British Naps tended to have very bandy legs such that from the side they looked OK but seen from ahead their legs were like sticks placed to either side of a hemispherical pelvis. Very odd. A number of Hinchliffes had polio. The Prussian cuirassier had one big leg and one withered leg and most of the infantry had a long, boneless tentacle instead of a left arm. |

Whilst I like the front rank figures, you wouldn't want to mess with the Spanish Guerrillas, seeing as they are all large and well fed |
