Re: Which WSS set are you most looking forward to?

French Dragoons in attack and dismounted and the Musketiers. As for artillery, I also bought some of the GNW Zvezda sets back then, but I think their heaviest pieces are all six pounders and the forthcoming Strelets guns also seem to be of the lighter calibre, but gunners in different poses are always welcome, so I'll probably buy some. However, in the future some heavy artillery would be nice, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blenheim_order_of_battle the French had 8, 12, 16 and even 24 pdrs. at Blenheim.

I agree Flambeau, a set of heavy artillery for the WoSS would be very useful. This would provide the position batteries that were a feature of most of the battles of the era, and also very useful siege artillery. Guns of the calibre that you mention ie: up to 24 pounder, would be very suitable.

At present, the 'best' guns for this purpose in 1/72 plastic are some of the Mars TYW artillery. I'm sure that Strelets could do better...

Ah well, I'm sure Strelets will be trying hard to keep us all satisfied this year. Nine new WoSS sets in the summer can't be the only offerings, I'm sure some Napoleonics will be in there, probably some WW2 as well.

In the meantime, how about some innovative new 'hybrid' sets including (for example), a set of 'King Ludwig's Afrika Legion': prototype officer figure for said unit below:

I am with you! Looking forward to all the sets but dismounted dragoon’s the most!

Re: Which WSS set are you most looking forward to?

Not one of my eras (yet?), but I am definitely enjoying the eye candy. One thing about the new eras being done is I can hopefully catch up on the backlog of figures to be painted while waiting for the next Nappies or ACW! One has to be philosophical about these things.
