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.
I would like to get your points of view of how the SAM format could better address the Musket era needs.
Taking in consideration the needs for wargamers, collectors, dioramas maker etc... and Historical accuracy, it seems to me that the SAM format could better and faster address the musket era.
How better:
well historically you would road march and stand before battle, then fire and reload then march and advance into battle. So why not having boxes with Standing/road march figures, firing / reloading and finally advance/ marching into battle?
how faster?
Well, you cover a topic in three boxes and in a more comprehensive and realistic manner and making everyone happy.
Your thoughts?
PS: if this has been already addressed in a previous email, don't rake it into account.
Have a great weekend everyone.

To be honest I think all the SAM format needs is a firing/reloading line to make it Great but on a personal note I would also like see the at ease set become at attention to make things a little more formal the ranks. :relieved:
I have to agree with posters above I have bought many boxes of all the new Napoleonic sets but feel that the lack of loading and firing poses is a big let down. My reasoning for this although the new sets are great is that mixing with other companies sets i find doesn't work well.
This in not a problems with strelets figures. I just feel all companies have their own molding styles and sizing. I tend to do full divisions of figures from each company and so the lack of firing / loading figures means that strelets sets are in the following units rather than in the front lines which is a shame.
just my two pence worth.
P.S Would still love strelets to do Napoleonic gun crews with a box of 48 figs per nation with perhaps four or five variants of each gun crew poses and a few High command figures added for good luck

Yes, I agree absolutly that we need a firing-set with 2 reloading poses and eventually 3-4 combat poses too. I appreciate very much the new Napoleonic sets, but I and many others wants to create fighting scenes too.
And I agree that some new canon-sets would been desirable....
