Re: Sad Hat news at PSR!

Bert Hat have a set of ACW Command masters completed , and listed as a future set, they also list some of the sets they are unlikely to do, all on the open forum.

Re: Sad Hat news at PSR!

Ah, was hoping you'd answer as I knew you would know! Well, well, the company that has said, (way too many times to count!) that they had absolutely NO INTEREST in doing anymore ACW, is joining the fray! Thanks! Good news! I will have to check out the forum for these other announcements. I rarely go there anymore.

Re: Sad Hat news at PSR!

HAT HAS MISSED THE BOAT I THINK ON CAPITALIZING ON AN UNTOUCHED MARKET. ACW FANS HAD BEEN WAITING FOR A VERY LONG TIME WITH NO NEW SETS, AND NOW THAT STRELETS HAVE STEPPED UP, I THINK THEY WILL HIT BIG WITH THE NEW SETS. THE EMAILS ALREADY BEEN SENT IN THIS CHAT ROOM PROVE IT. I'LL HAVE MY CREDIT CARD READY.......

ACW masters from Hat:

I fear they will be oversized like their Prussian command/marching sets...

Re: Sad Hat news at PSR!

These sets are probably the only way I will ever get my Iron Brigade!

Re: Sad Hat news at PSR!

So from what I could see it's the 1/32 scale sets that have been scrapped from Crowdfunding. Several sets that are listed as in the pipeline might therefore end up either in crowdfunding or will be scrapped altogether... Their Napoleonic Brunswick infantry has been on the list for 5 years now. And the more recent Austrians don't seem to progress much - they've been there for at least 2 years now.

So let's see. On an aside I'm really happy for the ACW fans who are looking forward to the new sets. But while I may get excited at the Strelets sets, I cannot say that I'm happy about the fiddly HaT pictures. That's a no-go for me - but of course I totally accept that this will make some people really happy!

Happy collecting and playing to all!

Re: Sad Hat news at PSR!

Looking at production rate in the last couple of years I feel that most people not matter what their era will be disappointed not just AWI and ACW.

Probably, they finally might get the idea of producing sets that will sell rather than producing sets like Germans and Japanese on bicycles.

Re: Sad Hat news at PSR!

Yet the bicycle sets sold well

They may not be my favourite, but people wanted them as that is how troops moved around.
