Hi Edward,

Why you dont want Prince Eugene of Savoy too? Without him the "Duke" is not complete

Best Wishes,
Günter

[Captain of Dragoons]

Hello Günter

I'm thinking along the lines of the Nine Years War in Ireland and Flanders when Marlborough was a earl and not yet famous as the Duke of Marlborough.

For the later WSS I agree with you - Marlborough and Eugene.

cheers
Edward

The Jacobite Horse are already on the stocks... and if the first personalities sell as well as the guns have then your wish list may well come true Edward!

how about

Grenadier Storming party in cloth Mitres
Grenadier Firing line in Bearskin Mitres
Grenadiers both firing line & storming Party in hats
Musketeers Standing Sentinel bayonets fixed
Musketeers Mixed poses in Stocking caps & - headed
Pike men receiving a cavalry charge

Ginger

edit I hate adult filters read Musketeers without Hats & in stocking caps

[conflans]

As long as we are wishing, I'd like to see musketeers in proper French kit.
Thanks.

[EvilGinger]

That would be nice as well but can put up with out but not with having to do head swaps on grenadiers

I'd like to see more officers on foot. I'm fine with recycling ensigns and sergeants, and the variations among the rank and file are fantastic, but the hat-waving, sword-wielding men of privilege are often the focal point of a unit. There is only one advancing and one standing. I've managed a conversion of one of the ensigns and I have a couple more ideas, but it would be nice to have another command pack or two...

[Captain of Dragoons]

How about accessories

-Pikes
-Flag Poles
-Defensive Works
-Half Pikes and Halberts for Officers and Sgts
etc,

As my wife says about fashion, its all about the accessories.

Looking at the picture of the French assualt during the Walcourt re-fight game there are two types of pikes: tall thick ones in most of the battalions but one battalion has shorter slimmer pikes. I think the shorter slimmer ones look better and more historical.

I know that if I was a gentleman of the pike when the Sgt wasn't looking I would be cutting a couple of feet off that bad boy to maker it easier to carry. Besides they got that new bayonet thing being passed out to the musketeers

cheers
Edward

Infantry in cassocks
Kettle Drummers

[Dfogleman2]

Oh, and horses for carts, wagons and limbers.

[barr7430]

KEEP THEM COMING!


Pikes will be available soon. Some defence works (inlcuding 2 sizes of gabion are already done)

Dannie, what kind of cassocks are you referring too? any examples please?

[Dilly]

I suppose doing the range in 15mil is out of the question ??

[Dfogleman2]

Barry,

For cassocks, look at the article "Danish Grenadier Cap and Cassock" near the bottom of this link:

Also, see the illustration of the Livgarde on page 51 of the Osprey Boyne book.
