Adler Miniatures looks like they have some every nice 6mm.

But man, they make it hard to place an order with them! No shopping cart, you have to email the order and then get a return email, and then you can use Paypal to pay for the order.

But the actual listings are very confusing and offer no reference photos to show what poses the different codes might be in. How do you know if you're getting marching, firing, or whatever other pose when you order say, "Musketeers" that have the A??? What's the differences between the A, B, and C?

Some product codes DO say "marching", or "firing". But many others will say the identical thing but have the letter after them, like my Musketeers example above. What the heck is the difference between Musketeers A vs. B?

Thanks in advance!

Here is an explanation of the letter codes, the letters refer to the price per strip.

@Bashytubits,

Thanks for the link, but now I'm even more confused!

The letters correspond to the…postage rates?…per….what? per each product code? And it's A – J?

So like…why would "Musketeers A" be a different postage rate as "Musketeers B"??? All infantry packs have the same number of strips so they would weigh close to the same, right?

If on the other hand the letters correspond to the prices of the packs themselves, they don't jive with any of the prices listed next to the product codes!

Oh well, I'm just going to email them an order and let them tell me the total!

Thanks for your help though!

Good morning,
I will agree that the web site and ordering process could be more user friendly.

Say you want to order AN2C, Austrian 1799-1815 German Musketeer marching (2B is the same soldier advancing).

There is a price code letter C to the far right of the screen.

If you scroll down the page you see that letter C equals 30 or 30 pence per strip of 4 figures.

Each letter corresponds to a price code:
B-20 C-30 D-32 E-34 F-35 G-36 H-55 I-75 J-40

There is also a link to their pricing and postage page:
