To Strelets, Is the Last seige of Sevastapo Complete?

Dear Strelets
Is there only going to be 16 new figures in this big box sets?

Am I to consider myself spolit with the fabulous THIN RED LINE set with its 49 Turkish figures?

Can we not have at least another twenty figures from the nations concerned.
e.g. Maybe some Sardinians and French Cuirassieurs and Dragoons on foot. And a lot more Turks.FezFezFezFez

I will find it hard to justify buying a big box just to get an extra 16 figures.

Hi,
I have no memories of the presence of French cuirassiers during the Crimean War, but you are absolutely right, more figures from other nations are welcomed, Sardinians and Turks (Generals and Officers) and for this particular box, siege artillery (mortar etc...).
later to complete this campaign , s-r should produce among other figurines of sardinians troops (Bersaglieri)complete French Cavalry (4th Hussars who fought against the Russian cavalry at kanghil, and some dragoons and spahis).

Hank,

patience is a virtue. You surely remember how long you've been lobbying for the Turks.
They will be made.

Dear Richard,

Re: To Strelets, Is the Last seige of Sevastapo Complete?

Dear Strelets,

Are Spahis included in future sets? They would be useful for so many themes, especially to help the French armies.

Thank you in advance - G.C.

Re: To Strelets, Is the Last seige of Sevastapo Complete?

Hi GC, i try stay impartial but i see spahis(VEery few squadrons raised made it out of training) most terrible.even cuirassiers gave up on training them in cw. spahis disbanded integrated elsewhere sent to eg kars,abortive secondary theatres. 1 figure in bashi bazouk set could be useful.

But yet good tooo recognise as elite scout for FFL . 1(peg pose) or 3 in set of 12 mountd legionnaire would be good.Mules and pack plus mountain pack gun be a good FFL support theme usable for many.I can see more comand and support sets being the new trend for 1/72 into the next decade as more historical authenticity is demanded for battle group replicants.

Scenics are so badly needed for all 1.72 war hobby theatres.So many figures made in last 5 years scenics left behind.old and new technology of production figures have little blend.Is a painful shout.More oriental buildings needed to develop overlap Genoesian/balkan/turkish/palestine/african theatres and eras as these exotic figures will enter the hobby.

Re: To Strelets, Is the Last seige of Sevastapo Complete?

Hi HFTGH & Strelets,

I'd be perfectly happy to see Spahis make it into any set as only a few figure poses to use as Scouts. I'd especially like to see them made in Red Terracotta Color.

I would rather at least have a few than none. How about this suggestion Strelets? Appreicate your input! :-)

Thank you - G.C.

Re: To Strelets, Is the Last seige of Sevastapo Complete?

Dear GarrisonClay,

at the moment Spahis aren't on the agenda but with 20+ sets a year who knows when what will be next.
Best regards,

Strelets

Re: To Strelets, Is the Last seige of Sevastapo Complete?

Dear Strelets,

Thank you for your reply. I fully understand and trust you will keep this suggestion memo thumbtacked to the shop wall for future considertion. :-)

By the way, I'm excited for and look forward to buying your next CW Artillery sets.

Kindest regards - G.C.

Re: To Strelets, Is the Last seige of Sevastapo Complete?

Dear GC,

I find your suggestion very good. This guys could be very useful together with the chasseurs Afrique in Algeria together with Zouaves. So a set of Beduines would round up another war:-)

Really good to hear Strelets, that you will increase this range! A complete war with all available units from one manufactor. I think this was never done before.

cheers
