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.
Hi,
The pictures are bad but the figures look good to me especially when I paint and mix them into big battalions.

Or small battalions.
One issue I have is post-1812, many Russian infantry battalions were worn down & quite understrength. During the Campaigns of 1813 & 1814, replacements were hard to come by: more often new battalions were sent.
Thus, a typical Strelets' set, needing a command stand per battalion, will have a lot of leaderless troops ie figures I'll need to find officer/musician/ensign/NCO for.
Hi,
Completely agree, campaigns of 1813 and more 1814 found Russian regiment reduced to one battalions instead of 2 or 3.
This is where I will try to get individual command box from Zvesda, or convert some figures from sets from Esci.

Thanks for the possible solutions. I'll have to wait to see if the Zvesda figures will not be too jarring. The Esci may work. I might have to look at some of the metals in 20mm too.
Pity Strelets couldn't sell special boxes with just the command sprues. I'd pay a premium for those.
