Any Napoleonic new release news?. (1 Viewer)

" ... reduce the figure size now, He could have sold A lot more figures. I know I,m not the only one who never bought more of these due to there size.

Yes, I am sure you are wright! But this was been a the chance for Patriot. What is now? - Would you buy let's say: febuary (just thinck, Patriot would have 6 cm Napos then, fictional!) these ficional 6cm Napos? Now, at a time, you bought (perhaps; I did...) a lot of K&C and FL (and there is an great artillery battery of CS upcoming "in march")? Are you sure, that it is now a decision for Patriot? Or is it to late? That's just my thoughts...
 
7cm = 70mm or 2.76''. K&C's are around 54mm or 2.13''.
If we are talking body height without bases, the K&C I have are 63-64 mm. First Legion Napoleonics are 59-61 mm and Britains 58-60 mm. To me, the K&Cs other than cavalry are on the edge with the Britains but the extra 6-8 mm to 70 mm is just too much.

As to whether it is too late to change size, I do know that if I could buy the French and British they have put out at 60 mm I would do it in a flash. Of course I assume this is all hypothetical since they have shown no interest in changing.

It's certainly Not too late .. other than the size issue, Patriot figures are very well made.

IMHO, Napoleonic collectors will welcome these "additions" to our armies. :)

I think most of us are saying just that....apart from the size as you note.
 
I bought a Brunswicker and a French Voltiguer. The size differential was too great for me. They are nice figures though.
 
Hi Chaps

A couple of Patriot Old guards mixed in with my King and Country collection, in a little diorama I've made over the Christmas Holiday.A kind of a size comparable for you all.They are much larger but, can be used with K&c but i do use them in very small numbers and mostly to the edges of the diorama.

Great diorama! Very well done. Your placement of the Patriot figures in the scene is particularly well done>
