Scheint jetzt auf der Zielgeraden, soll an Weihnachten erscheinen:
Alan is working on two plastic French infantry sets.
We've had some shots from two of the frames from those lovely people at
Renedra. There's still a bit of tweaking to be done on the 'Battalion' frame, and the large command frame, packed with 75 parts, is in tooling.
Both sets are French Napoleonic Infantry 1807-14.
The main boxed set will be a French infantry battalion box; this will include a 36-man battalion that allows all the fusiliers and elite companies to be posed marching or attacking. This set will also include six battalion frames, two elite frames (eight elite company figures skirmishing), and the command frame (six figures and lots of additional bits!). All figures are in the pre-1812 long-tailed coat and overalls.
The second boxed set will be the elite companies' box; this set will contain the same frames but in a different mix, designed for the skirmish wargamer. In this set there will be six elite frames, two battalion frames, and command frame; 40 figures in all.
Peter Dennis has produced some excellent artwork for the box covers. Alan is working on a full painting guide at the moment, which will cover French, Swiss, Kingdom of Italy, and Neapolitan troops.
Sparing any disasters, these sets will be out for Christmas!
