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.
Strelets are to be congratulated on the fineness of their new multipose product. The quality looks better and they will be a big hit with wargamers. The idea of doing specialist single pose figures only boxes is a great idea for staff, fficers, ncs, standards and musics and other specialists.
An inspired choice to begin the range. Hopeully an ACW line will follow soon.
The format would fit perfectly for the ACW, the 7YW, Napoleonic and many others where a fairly uiniform line would be the mutt's nuts. An ACW range would be superb. Too many of the sets available now do not cater for accurate or enjoyable wargaming.

From a Wargaming perspective, the Mini sets would be ideal. I'd like to see a mixed set of Regulars and Zouaves in firing line formation for both Confederates and Union armies, just like all the popular videos, etc show.
Still, though, before, short-cutting this great theme, there needs to be a complete set of the original S*R Teams format of the basic poses including sergeants, running, wounded, casualty, stretcher bearers ... you know ... the complete theme for both Confederates and Union armies.
I am head-over-heels in love with the command sets so far, but the basic poses are still needed to complement these sets, as well as mini sets to follow.
It is a great theme, and shouldn't be short-cutted.
i'M CVERTAINLY NOT OPPOSED TO THIS. THEIR MULTI POSE SETS ARE AWESOME & GIVE ALOT OF DIVERSITY TO ARMIES, BUT IT SEEMS ALOT OF TIMES (sorry for the shouting! i forgot my cap lock was on!) they reach for enough poses & some are just silly.
i agree w/ them using this for ACW & other eras! maybe i'll finally get my Union Iron Brigade?!
