Re: What's next... or what would you like to see next?

Bert
Well, if we're dreaming;

MORE War of 1812! Especially US Regular Infantry, Cavalry & Artillery + Militia


Would also like to see the North American War line extended, especially for units not easily represented or converted from existing sets:

- US Dragoons ("light" dragoons who look like heavy dragoons!)
- Scott's Brigade
- Canadian Voltigeurs
- British Marines in trousers
- US Rifles
- US Regulars in pre-"tombstone" shako
- British 93rd Sutherland Highlanders in trews and forage cap
- Various unusual militia

While we are waiting for Strelets to come back with some news, we can dream a bit...

...I saw some Franco-Prussian figures somewhere in the distance, there the wind blew from the east and there were Russo-Japanese ones fighting under the sun, then the thunder from the south came and there the 1912-13 Balkan Wars were going on... when I thought it's over, there the Early WWI ones began to whistle. Like if that wouldn't already be enough, the Maori War started there in New Zealand while in Florida the Seminole War was raging and the Russian Civil War hasn't said the last word. Oh, how many beautiful figures I saw... before I woke up.
civil war in Russia !!!

Makhno: cavalry, tachanki, infantry.
Colored regiments.
Revolutionary sailors.

Saxony, for the Great Northern War.

Well, the army of Poland in the 16-17 century.
There is already a lot of Hussars, but there are no Panzers, Cossacks and the Commonwealth.

Yes Saxony, but also Danes and Poles for Great Northern War, and I agree about Poland for 17th century, there are Cossacks but only Ukrainian by Orion.

IMHO

Polyakov can be done for the 17th century, from this you can make the beginning of the 18th century.

Poland and Lithuania - a very interesting subject, it is very poorly represented.
And this is a wild mix of the west and the east !!!

Re: What's next... or what would you like to see next?

Well, Russian Civil War as well all WW2 subjects but also
Chako War Bolivian and Paraguay armies 1932-34
Folklend War 1982 Argentinian forces
Arab armies of 60s-80s

Re: What's next... or what would you like to see next?

I have nominated some very important missing pieces of the Napoleonic jigsaw, which I think would be very popular and would help expand some of the more poorly represented enemies of Napoleon.

1. Austrian Infantry Hungarian styled in Shakos

2. Russian Musketeers in 1809 Shako still used well into 1812

3. Ottoman Infantry Nizam I Cedit

4. Belgium Infantry could be used as Portuguese Infantry

Yes to all these especially the Austrians in SAM format hopefully
hurry up Strelets because the company who cant be mentioned have got an Austrian set in their plans get in there first (He who hesitates is lost) & don't forget the Austrian grenadiers as well of course in SAM format.:grinning:

Re: What's next... or what would you like to see next?

How about Indian sepoys for the Seven years War in India, plus suitable figures for native irregular troops. An area where plastic figures really work as large numbers are required.

Re: What's next... or what would you like to see next?

LRDG/SAS North Africa Arab head dress , poses fighting , observing/ road watch , casual. Africa korps Heavy weapons , Japanese artillery regimental guns and crew , Boer war range expanded and British infantry re done or set two. British artillery and Boer artillery /pom poms.

Re: What's next... or what would you like to see next?

Re: What's next... or what would you like to see next?

As a collector of the Waterloo campaign I'd like to see Prussian Horse Artillery, plus limbers and ammunition wagons, Netherlands Carabineers and Hussars suitable for Netherlands, British, KGL and Hanoverian Regiments.

Re: What's next... or what would you like to see next?

Some great suggestions so far. :grinning:

Although I really appreciate the enthusiasm for exotic subjects and topics, I think Strelets should concentrate on the usual cash cows (WWII, napoleonics, ancient romans) and their already established ranges for the moment.
If the wide spectrum of their current lines (WWII, WWI + RCW, Napoleonics & War of 1812, ACW and ancient Rome) proves continuously successful (which seems highly likely), Strelets could indeed broaden their range to other economically reasonable and exciting conflicts or periods.

Most customers know what happened to another (though qualitatively inferior) company that dispersed it capabilities too widely and delivered large quantities of immature & poor figures. :unamused:

So, quality over quantity please! :+1:

Sets that Strelets could incorporate into its established lines in the long run.

- Afrika Korps heavy weapons
- Afrika Korps artillery crew
- Italian infantry & heavy weapons North Africa/Mediterranean
- Commonwealth artillery crew in warm climate, 8th & 14th army
- Commonwealth AA & AT crew in warm climate

- Dutch KNIL infantry
- Japanese Special Naval Landing Forces
- Chinese infantry & heavy weapons in summer/winter gear
