Dear friends,

the new lot of 6 new sets and 2 re-releases has started distribution and shall be with european local shops, hopefully, next week.
Happy shopping!

Best regards,

Strelets

Thank you again and congratulations to you all on such an amazing achievement against all odds.

The previewed figures in this set look excellent and suitable to represent a range of irregulars in the 19thC.

Best wishes, James

What are the sets?

War of 1812 would be my guess, the kneeling figure is wearing a Belgic style shako, they had a quite short life span and given the style of clothing, north America .

In that case, hope we get this character:

Rather than a Belgic shako, I think the figure is wearing one of these:

making these figures a second American set for the Seminole War.

I agree Mark. It definitely looks like a foldable leather cap (a first in 1/72 scale) worn by both Americans and Texans during the 1830s. Here is a great example- https://pin.it/oa63a0mx3
I have a feeling this will be another great utility set. With certain men being able to be used from 1812, TWI, Seminole, Mexican American, and even for things such as bleeding Kansas. I’m very much looking forward to it!

I agree completely! The only thing that disappoints me is there will be no mounted sets in this range, as the nature of Florida was not suited for cavalry actions. I would love some Mexican War suitable mounted volunteers I could use for Texas Rangers.
