Re: Hopefully in 2021

Hopefully in 2021 Strelets will carry on as it has for the last few years making a broad spectrum of sets for the diverse wishes of its customers.

:+1:

In this spirit and partly based on Strelets previous ranges, many useful sets could be conceivable.

- Byzantine Empire & Enemies
- 7YW French & Russian subjects and Prussian artillery in particular
- Napoleonic Russian, Austrian, Prussian & "secondary" nations infantry ranges (marching, advancing & "firing" lines) extension & completion of an actually unsolvable task... :wink:
- Napoleonic Austrian & Prussian artillery in particular
- French Imperialism (apart from the Maghreb region; Mexico Intervention, Tonkin Campaign & Sino-French War, Boxer Rebellion ...)
- RCW & related conflicts Polish cavalry, revolting workers & sailors, Makhnovists & many other factions & units ...
- WWI early Austrian infantry, MG & light/medium artillery crews vs. early Serbian infantry & artillery crews (the latter suitable for Balkan Wars as well)
- WWI Indian infantry, MG & mountain gun crews + Indian Cavalry Brigade (horse-mounted & dismounted)
- WWI French Spahis & Tirailleurs (usable for other conflicts as well)
- WWII 1940 Dutch infantry & support weapons and French infantry support weapons, AT- & light artillery crews
- WWII 1937-45 Chinese infantry & support weapons in summer & winter gear (different factions & uniforms)
- WWII 1941-45 Romanian & Hungarian infantry, support weapons & cavalry (reworked versions, summer/winter)
- WWII 1940-43 Italian & Afrika Korps light/medium artillery & AA-/AT-gun crews
- Generic Mule trains appropriate for a good number of different conflicts
...

Some personal favourites would be:
- Franco-Prussian War, French & Prussian/German artillery in particular
- Russo-Japanese War, both sides infantry & artillery (suitable for WWI as well)
- Spanish Civil War infantry, support weapons & light artillery crews for both sides

With a current output of roughly 40 sets per year, almost anything seems possible? :sweat_smile:

May Strelets continue to delight us with their fantastic figures for as long as possible, especially in these difficult times!

Re: Hopefully in 2021

French line cavalry: chasseurs, Dragoons, Cuirassiers, lancers in similar poses as the Prussians, hopefully with correct size flags. Mind you, I would buy all the other Napoleonic sets as well.:grinning: They have become too good to resist.

& I myself would like to see firing lines for all the nappy lines & more cavalry at rest as well please.:sweat_smile:

Re: Hopefully in 2021

My Tlaxcala Heron warriors idea does not seem to have gained much traction. :joy: :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Re: Hopefully in 2021

Russian Civil War
- tachankas
- partisan infantry
- naval infantry
- Ukrainian nationalists

War of 1812
- US dragoons
- British Royal Marines in trousers
- Canadian Voltigeurs and militia
- US Scott's Brigade
- US Regulars and Rifles

Re: Hopefully in 2021

I second Duncan's request for Italians in sun helmets, but also many more like the ww1 proposals and the BEF set.

Cheers,

Ale

Re: Hopefully in 2021

I know I bang on about it but...French and Indian War range figures...Go on Strelets, please...

Failing that, a continuation of the WSS series.
