Welcome to the Strelets Forum. Please feel free to discuss any aspect of 1/72 scale plastic figures, not simply Strelets. If you have any questions about our products then we will answer them here.
They look pretty good & rebasing them wouldn't be a real problem but to assemble enough, in the same pose, for a battalion (mine are 16 figures strong) would be a huge expense. And where are the command figures to come from? Officer, drummer, ensign & NCO for preference?
All in all this does NOT address the lack of decent Napoleonic 1812 infantry.
There will be a separate set for Command, which is awesome. I don't like the miniset system either, but at least this way I can get separate command bases, which is nice. Also, this way the poses I'd throw out anyway will not be included, only the firing-reloading-marching ones, and I'm totally okay with that. If you don't need them for their boardgame, they'll be excellent to round out odd units that need only a few men, or get some extra poses for your army.
