Re: French Nap Artillery

Hi Mr Strelets if you released a set of say 6 or 8 French artillery pieces in a box with no figures.
you could then release the crews of different nations in separate sets for instance I believe The Dutch, Bavarian, Polish, Wurttemberg & others used the same guns.
You could as well consider different timelines as well with 2 different uniforms for the French armies, & add limbers & other things at a later date if these prove popular.:astonished:

Re: French Nap Artillery

'Fed up with Napoleonics', what a strange concept!

Speaking personally, I can always find room for sets that are as beautifully sculpted as yours. For me I'll get the coming late Russians and Austrians in greatcoats in larger numbers as they are not armies/styles that I have built up previously (as I have, for example, with the lovely Redbox early Russians).

As has been noted in previous posts, early Russians in greatcoats and even earlier Russians in hats remain a gap (the old Esci set of 'Prussians' was the only one). Similarly, Austrians in kasket have only been done in a part-set and they are 'giants'.

Still with infantry, few of the French-allies who contributed smaller forces have been produced specifically (e.g Dutch with plume at the side). Then you get into artillery and cavalry...

Napoleonics remain a wonderful, bottomless pit of 1/72nd joy!!
