I think we need to pick a dirrection to head in with our new napoleonic choices! We can,t just be all over the place from egypt to russia to spain and from 1796-1815, The uniforms were different and the troops invovled were also.
Andy,s napoleonics started as peninsular war era and my first choices and suggestions that I posted in the past tried to stay in that era and have figures that would work together and not be out of place.
Then andy came out with scotts greys which threw a monkey wrench in the peninsular era as they did not serve in the peninsular and pretty munch only good for waterloo! So I think it safe to say we are at the branching off stage.
My suggestion would be to branch off into the 1813-14 campaign or the war of nations era as I like to call it, where pretty munch all of the eurpeon nations were involved and you could switch gears real easy and make troops from all the nations of europe.
In this era you can mix prussains, russains,austrains,barvarains,swiss,ect.ect. all on the same fields of battle. The only problem is we don,t have any Prussains,Russains,Austrains,Barvarians,ect. to mix!!!
We need to get away from all the british,british,british requests that can only be used for peninsular war waterloo and quatre bra only! and venture into a BIGGER ERA called the Napoleonic wars which the british army had only a limited part in. They had one of the smallest field armies of the time Yet seem to totaly dominate the napoleonic figures on the market????
I would like to suggest That we make the leap into a bigger pond and venture out a bit, ANYBODY with me???
