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.
One issue I've always had with cavalry sets, that no one ever seems to question (at least not in depth) are that too many poses are taken up by command figures; ie: Buglar/Musician, Standard/Guidon bearer, Officer. As much as I LOVE Strelets' Union Cav Skirmishers, 3 mtd poses out of 6. It seems all cavalry sets seem to suffer from this. Hat addressed this by offering spare arms, but not every company wants to be understandably bothered by the extra engineering needed for this. I think the solution would be a separate command set that would include both inf & cav command figs. This would free up more space for other poses. What do others think?
Nice idea, and it'd also solve the problem of too few Roman command figures, or not sufficient number of Napoleonic command figs. I build 24-men units, 20 rank and file, 4 command usually - thus extra command sprues for Nappies would be nice.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! More like a box like the Union Cav Skirms with a Musician, 1-2 Standard Bearers, 2 Officers & maybe a dispatch rider all mtd. Then a similar group on foot with maybe some non-coms, casualties, etc. Basically 6 mtd poses & 8-10 foot poses.
Maybe Zvezda have the answer with three sprues of troopers and one of command?
While we're talking about command figures any suggestions of what to use for French Cavalry Generals? I don't want to use the Revel General staff as they are too static for cavalry and the set comes with too many other figures that are no use to me. I have used Strelets Napoleonic Generals part 2 but again most are static or too specific, i.e. Cuirassier or Hussar uniforms.
Is there any news on the "part 3" set that is listed and would they serve this purpose?
