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.
Seems logical enough to me. If we tentatively assume that Blenheim 1704 is their main focus (or at least one of), then they would hypothetically need some more Habsburg Austrians (a fusilier firing line in addition to the announced marching set?) and Bavarians as a minimum.
Beyond that the field is more open and depends on how deep they want to go. Some Dutch infantry make sense to go with the announced cuirassiers, and arguments can be made for Prussians, Danes, Hessians, Hanoverians, and Württembergers as well.
But I am with Flambeau on this one; the biggest hole in the line right now is heavy cannons, howitzers, and mortars for siege scenarios. Then maybe an additional command and personalities set or two, like the ones they have for the Great Northern War? That would be fantastic. Even if they only produce what has been announced this is already the best 18th Century line ever produced in the 1/72 scale by a pretty wide margin, a far more historically accurate version of Empire: Total War. :smile:
Only that there was no Austrian infantry at Blenheim ... just cavalry and a lot of Imperial (Reichstruppen, not to be confused with Imperial Austrian) troops. In fact to the best of my knowledge there was no Austrian infantry in any of the Marlborough's battles except for a small contingent at Malplaquet. But of course we do have the Italian theatre of war.
If I could just ask for one more set it would be generic French line cavalry. Anything else would be a bonus. As already acknowledged, Strelets have already surpassed expectations with this range.
I really like the suggestion of an artillery train and sappers/engineers. That hadn’t even come to my mind. But I do agree with all of you in the sense that this range is already extremely generous with its current offerings. Anything more at this point would be a bonus. With that said the fact that we still have around a dozen more sets on the way is awesome. I can’t wait!
