Are There Too Many King and Country Ranges? (1 Viewer)

Can you imagine Rons enthusiasm if Napoleon had WON!!

Rob
 
I think he is only limited by the maximum font size that the forum allows. His feelings may run deeper:eek: :D :rolleyes:
 
Yes in the whole Wellington v Napoleon question i don't think he's undecided!

Rob
 
You know, I just can't figure out what range Ron is interested in :confused: ;)
 
How about you Brad are you into Napoleonics?

Rob
 
Why Brad, don't you know? Ron is passionate about anything to do with Wellington and how he beat the crap out of that French guy, you know, what's his name :p
 
I think there's merit within different ranges to produce a mini-series or two, eg in WWII there were German cavalry (GC) and Fallschirmjager (FJ) ranges, which no-one expected to fill into a giant DD or WS series but which were still collectible in their own right as the sets within each range bore a good internal cohesion, eg you could put all 7 GC together and one wouldn't be galloping away from the others. That aspect has been lost to a certain extent within the enormous ranges under current production, and the lack of consistency, eg kubelwagen in FoB to draw in collectors to that series, Winter Germans in the WS range instead of WS(W) or BBG, and so forth.

Personally I'd be happy to see a return to some American history themes previously explored, ie Rough Riders (RR), Vietnam (VN), the West (TW), and perhaps some more Ancients eg Greek -v- Persians (Thermopylae or Marathon or Alexander the Great), perhaps a few mini-series to compliment the existing ranges (ie a Napoleonic 'Eastern Front' theme on the retreat from Russia, or a 'Battle of Leipzig' to cover the French/Polish/Saxon -v- Austrian/Prussian/Russian/Swedish forces).

However, I can appreciate the time and effort it takes to plan and execute a series, and I'm quite conscious of the fact that quite a few themes which should be overwhelmingly popular (eg Fall of Rome/Barbarians) haven't hit the heights expected (but the linkage to the Ancient Egypt offers another dimension to both the Roman and Egyptian series).

More please, and retire the LAH please!
 
I must say i've never come across such a fervant supporter of old Bonaparte.Most people i know revell in the history of Wellington whupping Napoleon.But Waterloo is such a part of our heritage along with trafalgar that its not surprising i suppose.But to be fair to Napoleon..Crecy,Agincourt,Trafalgar he was just carrying on that great French tradition of losing famous battles to us!

Only kidding Ron

It was George W Bush who summed it up when he said
The problem with the French is that they have no word in their language for entrepeneur
 
Hate to say it but that is a nice Blue.

Capt. Ron-
I think you have actually worn Brad down with your numerous postings. Something that I did not believe possible. You are the Anna Nichole Smith of this forum.
