Does OG make 15mm British Riflemen? I have been on all the OG sites that sell 15mm figures and I don't see them. I see Blue Moon riflemen but not OG. I thought they used to have them. A link would be helpful. |

They used to have them, I have a set in my army. They recently reorganized their figure packs and some codes are temporarily unavailable as that process continues, probably includes the Rifles. Try emailing them. |

They are listed on the manufacturer (19th Century Miniatures) website. link |

Thanks Doc. I looked there before and just missed them. |

Is this company in the US or the UK? I can't find any info on their website. |

Tom, they are in the US, but Timecast carries them in the UK. |

Ahh, thanks. I have a friend that is interested in 15mm AWI but has no internet or computer so I have been trying to source US dealers for him. Oh, what ever happened to the good old days when you could send away in the mail for a catalog and mail order figures? |

I remember those good ol' days: Find a tiny, 1/16 page ad towards the back of a Scale Modeler's magazine. Find a stamp from somewhere and send a letter with a quarter and a self-addressed stamped envelope. 4 to 6 weeks later an envelope would arrive. Open it and find a list of figures like: French 1812 Officer Standard bearer Drummer Infantry Elite Infantry You get the picture. But usually no pictures. If you were lucky, there may be a few drawings, like in the old McEwan Miniatures for Starguard. So, you assemble a list. One of these, one of those, be sure to get a horse and a cannon. 4 to 6 weeks later a small package arrives. Inside are those figures that you had forgotten about. But now I'm playing American Civil War. I remember some Scruby miniatures that I finally got. I had read so much about them that I got an infantry man from just about every period I was slightly interested in. ACW, Franco Prussian, Naps, Colonials, French Foreign legion, etc. OMG! They were terrible! I could hardly tell what period they were! I glued them to a small board and kept them on a shelf to remind me of something… Ahh, yes; the Good Old Days cheers! |

Very true. I MUCH prefer the internet marketplace! |

I had a file cabinet full of catalogs. |

d88mm1940, you had it soft compared with the realities of surface mail from the UK to Australia. I don't miss it. |
