Metal or platic?

Understand the focus is to support new to the Hobby…
But is would be great to know Current fig mfg? and if so who?
If not, is the mfg new one or an old one that had gone out of business?
This would be helpful for those , who are not starting from scratch, that have an existing collection base of troops.

A great initiative. Best of luck with this venture.

Photos of the miniatures included in the box would be nice.

What's the "reformation area" marker look like?

Thanks.

Not my scale but armies in a box are always a great thing to see on the market.

Best of luck with the venture.

Great to see this, looking forward to seeing what the figures etc. look like.

Very Nice!

Hope it all goes well!
10mm are becoming a significant size used for Napoleonic play, so it should be good!

Great idea. Am keen for 10mm to get a greater following in Napoleonics. It's the future! Helping people get started is definitely a good way to go.

Looks like Magister Militum are providing the figures then…

Senormeek has it I think – the proportions and distinctive officer's swords being the first hints.
I too am keen for 10mm to expand. Keen to see the attachment packs.

JimDuncanUK19 Feb 2018 3:14 p.m. PST

Just how many figures per box?

JimDuncanUK19 Feb 2018 3:53 p.m. PST

TWC – Thanks

Another excellent idea from an innovative company with great customer service.

I do commend TWC to TMP members.

Mike Petro19 Feb 2018 10:39 p.m. PST

Im a fan, very nice!

jambo120 Feb 2018 10:57 a.m. PST

Super, like the figures they look the part, like the whole idea, good stuff.

Excellent idea. If I didn't have a lot of 6mm armies, I'd be all over these items.

I came here to ask what you guys thought of the "Et sans résultat! " rules?

DaleWill Supporting Member of TMP21 Feb 2018 7:47 p.m. PST

Shakespear – I really like them. They are my go to Napoleonic rules.

GlacierMI22 Feb 2018 3:44 a.m. PST

Hello, my OCD is kicking in, never a good sign..

Will Preorder price be different than release price? as I would really like to look over the miniatures first.

Thanks!

Pete Fry22 Feb 2018 8:05 p.m. PST

Shakspear. I hosted a game for my group recently and everybody liked the rules and wants to play them again. Main things to bear in mind:

They are grand tactical so no changing formation at unit level
Steepish learning curve as they are unlike other rulesets
Very helpful and responsive rules writer
We played with my 25mm armies but I think you get better figure density with a smaller scale 10mm would be great

Are there any sample images you have posted somewhere. I might be interested in buying one or two of these guides eventually. The price is a bit high but the if the images are excellent quality might be worth my money.
