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.
A good call Martin. Set 908, now untitled, remains vacant and perfect for the task.
That leads me to two other listed sets that are yet-to-be made and would be wonderful to see:
- 129 'Napoleon's General Staff 3', could be aides, generals de division and other staff officers, all mounted please.
- M115 'Napoleonic French Sappers' could be sappers engineers in general, or perhaps have a Berezina theme or a range of well and lesser known incidents/figures including Berezina, l'enforcer at Waterloo, re-buildiing the Danube bridges post-Aspern-Essling...
Oh dear, it seems that I have joined those who have trouble counting to one and remaining there, Donald!
Some quite interisting & well-considered comments on this very exciting topic so far. :+1:
For my areas of interest, the following suggestions seem the most promising & logical imho.
Antiquity & Early Middle Ages
- Byzantine Empire & Enemies (from 330 until 1453 AD) Kabinettskriege
- 7YW, Russian & French subjects in particular but also Prussian artillery Napoleonic Wars
- Russian, Austrian, Prussian & "secondary" nations infantry ranges (marching, advancing & firing lines)
- Austrian & Prussian artillery in particular Age of Imperialism
- French Imperialism (2nd Intervention in Mexico, Tonkin Campaign & Sino-French War, Boxer Rebellion ...) early Industrial Warfare
- Franco-Prussian War, French & Prussian/German artillery in particular
- Russo-Japanese War, both sides infantry & artillery (suitable for WWI as well) WWI
- early Austrian infantry, MG & light/medium artillery crews vs. early Serbian infantry & artillery crews (the latter suitable for Balkan Wars as well)
- Bulgarian early infantry, MG & light artillery crews (usable for Balkan Wars as well)
- French Spahis & Tirailleurs (usable for many other conflicts as well) WWII
- 1940 Dutch infantry & support weapons and French infantry support weapons, AT- & light artillery crews
- Chinese infantry & support weapons in summer & winter gear (different factions & uniforms)
- Romanian & Hungarian infantry, support weapons & cavalry 1941-45 (summer/winter)
- Afrika Korps support weapons, light/medium arillery & AA-/AT-gun crews further 20th century conflicts
- Spanish Civil War infantry, support weapons & light artillery crews for both sides Generally
- Mule trains appropriate for a good number of different conflicts
... :sweat_smile:
Hope the readers can forgive me, but expanding the topic into another wish list was an irresistible impulse I couldn't resist entirely (tried very hard to minimise it as much as possible though). :wink:
Of course, Strelets should also enlarge their Imperial Rome, WWS & ACW ranges as well as various other WWI/RCW & WWII theatres. :+1: :smile:
I suspect that there is almost no market for it (probably just me) but I would really like to see Mahrattas and sepoys for Wellingtons campaigns in India - very colourful!

No, you're not alone there Phil. I think British Colonial India era range would be great along with a Sepoy Mutiny/Rebellion line (which Britsfan mentioned too).... And I'm still hoping for a dedicated North West Frontier line to be developed also - I had thought Mr. Strelets was asking about this topic several months back for this reason...and between you and me, I thought WSS wouldn't sell but I was very wrong about that.
