Oh dear... well I hesitate to post this as I don't want to sound like some whining hard luck story, but equally I don't want anyone to mistakenly reinforce the impression that Eureka are some sort of uber expensive rip off merchants by deliberate design . Yes - from the UK and USA perspective we rea...

Although the sample is relatively small I find the poll results (so far) rather curious. I certainly expected the later campaigns to be the more popular but I hadn’t expected 1813-14 to be quite as popular as it is – compared say to 1812, or especially the Peninsula. (Although valleyboy’s comment ab...

Just a quick 'heads up' for those interested in 1799 and the Russians in particular - the Eureka Russian infantry (more than 50 codes) were released today - http://www.eurekamin.com.au/ and if you go to the "Ideas" section of the website you can download our nine page "Quick Guide" PDF to the Russia...

..come to think of it - you don't necessarily need a lot of figures to represent your Austrian cavalry as they tended to break them down into two squadron tactical units to support the infantry.

Sorry chaps - nothing we can do about the current exchange rate. The value of the Australian dollar is ridiculous at the moment, but our overheads and bills remain the same. Believe me, we would sell them cheaper if we could.

Yours (in mild embarrassment)

Oh - I nearly forgot - if it is the 1799 campaign you are interested in (because of the Cossacks) your best source for orders of battle etc for Italy is Christopher Duffy's Eagle Over the Alps (Emperor’s Press). Sadly out of print now, but if you know someone with a copy or your local library can he...

Is this for 1799 in Italy Juan? For the appearance of the 1799 Cossacks there are a few pointers in our free PDF down load which you should find by clicking here - Eureka Quick Guide to 1799 Cossacks When we release the Russian infantry in a couple of weeks or so I hope to put together a similar (la...

Yes - like those. Very nice!

Love the way you've combined the various poses to tell 'stories'. I'm trying to plan something similar with my first Revolutionary War French National Guard battalions.

1. My lab ate a greek cavalry man once. The whole 28 mm thing. Years ago one of my cats decided to chew the tails off several 15mm TYW Croatian cavalry (Minifigs). He had managed to carefully extract these, one by one and presumably with some difficulty, from an open backed display unit - in spite ...
