"New ranges in 2021!!" Topic

I sure hope someone finally comes out with some really good and new ACW and Napoleonic 10mm, 15mm, or 25mm ranges in 2021!!
We really need these!!
Russ Dunaway

Maybe you know something???

Damon.

If we are wishing, I want someone to finally come out with a COMPLETE 28mm Franco Prussian war line.

I think this is a poke at Warlord who just announced a new 13mm ACW range.

Ah…I was wondering what scale their new ACW range was, but didn't want to bother sorting through their website to find out.

15mm….figs in blocks..13.x high..foot to eye…or some such thing.

Personally I am just hoping that Old Glory will finish off their Napoleonic Swedes and Danes (in 15mm). Hessian, Italian and Westphalian troops would be good as well.

It would be nice if Old Glory added more to their 28mm ACW range. Don't get me wrong they do have a nice amount of figures but I am sure there are other ones that they could come out with. Just a wish.

What Bashytubits said.

Please.

Eric

Napoleonics? Bah.
ACW? Meh.

We need AWI mounted jaegers, mounted Brunswick Dragoons, early war Provincial Grenadiers, Anhalt-Zerbst Grenadiers and musketeers, Belzunce Dragoons, French colonial militia, Spanish…

And how about a COMPLETE line of the ‘98?

John, more AWI would be fine but Spanish what? Spain wasn't that dominant here in the colonies and wouldn't the Perry AWI Spanish that was released take care of that?

Spain wasn't that dominant here in the colonies

Because nothing was going on in South America at all???

Damon, planning on doing South American Wars of Independence armies someday…

Damon, when I made that statement I was referring to what is now North America. After all isn't that where the AWI was primarily fought and I might be wrong but I believe that is what John was referring to when he provided a partial list. If I am wrong and he also meant South America then I stand corrected.

To remove all confusion, I meant Spanish troops in the AWI.
If anyone wants to make South American Wars of Independence, good for them. But I have no interest in them. I'm too old to start a brand new project. It

While I'm at it, let me add Gribeauval system artillery.
And the "Swedish" 4 pdr battalion guns used by the Hessians.

Personally I am just hoping that Old Glory will finish off their Napoleonic Swedes and Danes (in 15mm). Hessian, Italian and Westphalian troops would be good as well.

Redcurrant, you read my mind.

Danes just need the jagers and generals to complete the range.

The Swedes need a little more with Guards, grenadiers, jagers, generals, and hopefully infantry in the 1810 uniform to use for the largest force they fielded in 1813.

The Napoleonic range was started in 2013 if I recall, with an announcement that included a very aggressive goal to complete the line in three years. Here we are four years after that milestone still waiting. Lots can go awry in that timeframe but as a customer its frustrating to see other ranges being released and added on to while these are so close to a successful completion.

Like John the OFM said

"We need AWI mounted jaegers, mounted Brunswick Dragoons, early war Provincial Grenadiers, Anhalt-Zerbst Grenadiers and musketeers, Belzunce Dragoons, French colonial militia, Spanish…"

we need all of these but please could I have mine in 18mm, or bigger 15mm in PSC speak.

Unless it is to cover gaps in existing lines, I am not sure why we need another range of ACW or Naps.

John, I'm sure I'll be corrected by somebody. But the difference between the Gribeauval System and the De Valliere System, for example, is something which really wouldn't make a difference in 28mm sample. Or, is Gribeauval just the "Word of the day"?

Russ, any plans to finish the missing gaps in the Blue Moon ACW catalog?

How about a complete line from someone……

Actually, there was a fair amount of Spanish activity during the AWI in the South and up the Mississippi River. And, besides, who doesn't want to see new troop types? About a year ago, Perry Miniatures released some fusiliers of various castings. More recently, they released grenadiers and mounted Dragoons. I have picked up enough of each to make several units. Why? Because they are cool. I really wish Old Glory would have done the range because they are my favorite figures, but i finally gave up because Perry had ‘em.

@von Trinkenssen – Wouldn't that be refreshing!?

@Normal Guy – I like the way to think. A fellow, "Just because" gamer.

the difference between the Gribeauval System and the De Valliere System, for example, is something which really wouldn't make a difference in 28mm sample

Yes, 7th Va, there is a large difference, literally. The Valliere guns were much closer to 17th Century ordnance. Ridiculously long barrels, extra-heavy carriages. Gribeauval followed the improvements introduced in the Austrian Liechestein system and went them one better.

In answer to Russ's original question, a Vickers Medium Mk.II for the Command Decision range is sorely needed.

French Rev in 10mm would be nice, just sayin

Spanish AWI troops haved pre-1894 uniforms (militia after this date) or more earlier versions? Right ones on picture..

We really need the OG2 AWI range to expand…. not that I've mentioned that before. 😆

I have all the figures that I need, for sometime to come.
