Huh... that makes sense, I guess, though it seems less useful than a frame for the pack. Of course it makes about as much sense as me not just Googling the thing instead of asking here. Thanks for filling me in despite my idiocy

I suppose no one uses the Roman "kit on a stick" model anymore, huh?

New info on the napoleonic range. Man that russian leader dude looks like a great way to get a commissar, albiet more truescaled

Russian Napoleonic Infantry 1809-15 & Prussian Napoleonic Reservists 1813-15 plastic 'three-ups'

As promised, here's more details about the 'three-up' greens for the Russian Infantry and Prussian Reservists.

There will be two Russian boxed infantry sets, one for the infantry (including elites) and one for the grenadiers. The infantry box will contain heads with the re-styled 1807 shako with cords, which dates them to 1809. These were still worn during the 1812 campaign alongside the 1812 kiwers, albeit most likely in their own units. The kiwers in the box have their full dress cords, too, which was typical of Russians in the field. There will also be enough 1812 forage caps for all, as this too was quite common practice for Russian infantry on campaign. The figures are all in summer one-piece overalls, which were adopted in 1807.

The grenadier box will contain the same pattern shakos with the grenadier distinctions and the famous Pavlov Grenadier mitre caps. The Pavlov Grenadiers were still wearing their normal grenadier uniforms throughout the 1812 campaign, receiving their Guard uniforms the next year. I've included the large 'busch' plume on the 1809 shako, which was officially replaced by the thinner plume in 1811. However, it's open to debate if they still lingered into 1812.





The Prussian Reserve Infantry are in their basic 1813 grey uniforms. Some Reserve battalions were still wearing them in 1815. The box will contain enough peaked caps and shakos for all the figures in the box. They are all equipped with the basic cloth knapsack, with the sword knot attached to the strap over the left hip as infantry swords were in short supply. They are carrying a mix of French, British and Prussian muskets. The simple uniform might inspire a conversion into something else. The command all wore the regulation Line uniform.

I'm afraid there are no release dates on these.

I like the look of those MaA a lot, but would be really pleased to see some foot guys too! I would prefer a slightly earlier look for what I intend to use them for (100 years war) but they'll be the best plastics about fo sure.

The Napoleonic stuff is awesome as always but I mustn't get sucked into another game system........

I'm always amazed at the sheer volume of stuff those two put out, some many high quality models over so many eras, it's worth a stroll through their website if you haven't already.
