Dolls are well advanced by now, but finishing off the pikemen I seen quite a lot of images of Russian pikemen with pistols and belly boxes, which I am inclined to add. Anybody have particular views on this?

Clib,
You might like to download it...besides it is all in Russian.
I got the booklet for free after a while of klicking around

Below the Russian text you will find the fat printed line

Thanks guys, I have a copy of Letin and Leonoff, it does have some great artwork in it. The frustrating thing though is that its hard to puzzle out what the captions say, not being able to read Russian. I can put it into google translate, but I find the cyrillic typing slow going, and half the time it doesn't result in the info I'm looking for.
That said, its a very useful resource.

Sorry Maciek, i haven't looked at this thread quite a while as I've been sidetracked from the Russians by having to do some work on the LoA dragoons, but I am back working on the infantry now, and will have some previews of the first couple of packs soon.

I had a couple of worrying days there, where it looked like the Post office had lost the box, but I've heard from Pendraken that they've got it. Phew.

Clib,
Any chance we can get some Swedish cavalry command figures sometime soon?

On the workbench right now are the first three packs of Russian infantry, a pack of dismounted French dragoon command, and a bunch of dolls for western mounted dragoons, plus the first of the Russian and Swedish cavalry.
The Swedish cavalry trooper that's available was originally just a test piece, I imagine he'll be replaced, though he might be the basis for the doll. I want to try to get new cavalry for the Swedes done soon as there's already so much infantry.

General question; sometimes I see Russian foot depicted with moustaches, sometimes without. Anyone know anything about regulations on facial hair? Currently I am tending towards mostly moustachioed, but some clean shaven. (Moustaches for grenadiers though).
