They look pretty good. Almost makes it worth trying out one of those 1:20 games with the amount of figures you get.

I have the saem question as Jcfrog , why 2 standard/eaglebeares in those sets

Skeptic21 Sep 2019 6:38 a.m. PST

Great stuff! By the way, just one pack of 15/18mm archers would be a very useful addition to the Blue Moon Deep, Dark Africa range…

I am sure the extra standard bearer is a oversight by me and will be corrected.

Brownand21 Sep 2019 2:35 p.m. PST

Another question is why the fusilier-grenadiers and -chasseur don't have a standard bearer? They had a flag and later a fanion per battalion afaik.

Old Glory Sponsoring Member of TMP21 Sep 2019 4:39 p.m. PST

Well you could have used the 2nd eagle bearer as a standard and clip off the eagle, but you complained about that -- and we didn't make fanion bearers so your out of luck.

Jcfrog21 Sep 2019 11:07 p.m. PST

Making a flag or even fanion bearer out of bm big poles is easy.
The way they hold it, the supernumerary can be cut and be patting a horse for a cart in the rear.
Obviously done with your packaging standart. But these infantry were not much more numerous than the guard cavalry regiments each. They are not easy to put in other units except maybe the fusiliers who can be reluctanly ( lower pay ) put as line elites.

Dear mr Old Glory,
you sound a little annoyed that someone dare to have questions about the content of your packs. This is a shame as the figures themselves are great.
The 2 eagles in the Dutch Grenadier pack is wrong as they only had one afaik, and the fusilier-grenadier/fusilies had a flag so that is an omission. I cannot use the grenadier eagle bearer for the fus-gren

Two Standard bearers ? Two ?

My gad old glory sir, inexcusable . There's a revolver in the hallway cabinet. After you have finished your port I'm sure you'll do the decent thing.

Alas, indeed it does seem the end is near for me -- the gig is up they say ???
