Re: Suggerimento per nuove creazioni

Well here is my list. I think most of these do not make economic sense, but dreams know no boundaries.

1) Unarmoured Norse Warriors (spears/axes only, no armour or helmets otherwise, the proper early Viking raiders. See Hjardar & Vike 2016 Vikings at War for a great source).

2) Aztec Warriors (I know it has been done twice, but imagine these costumes in the Strelets Mini 001-004 style, they would look amazing as a painted group)!

3) Tlaxcala Warriors (Adds a natural enemy and a little variety to the Aztecs. Heron warriors would be super cool as well).

4) Hittite Empire Warriors (spearmen with shields; base it off Trevor Bryce's books, NOT the Egyptian representations).

5) Any Classical Greek Hoplites (It is shocking that putting together a phalanx for things like the Persian & Peloponnesian Wars remains impossible without massive amounts of conversions to this day).

6) Any Seven Years' War Infantry (French in particular are underrepresented, but everybody needs something).

Sorry, Romans are not my thing. :joy:

Re: Suggerimento per nuove creazioni

I can't get enough of a life! But I would like, and respecting the initial premise (5 choice)

- 1st Prussian Franco War (French line infantry and zouaves vs. Prussian line infantry (pointed helmet) and Jagger.

- 2nd end the Rif war with the Spaniards

- 3rd Japanese Russo War

- 4th the 55 days of Beijing (and this could be great . . . . Russians, British, US, French, Germans, Italians, Austrians, Japanese, Chinese and boxers and others)

- 5th seven-year war . . . . . . . .

But there are so many conflicts that, of course, it is not an exausive list. well to you and thank you all for making me remed, hoping.

Best regards
