I have not heard much or read anything about what we might expect to see for next years releases or if there will be any. I hope there will be more sets for the Hougoumont range. Also wondered now while Im riteing this how many of you collect this range?
 
I also collect this range and am hoping for maybe some cavalry. artillary and of course HIGHLANDERS!! Maybe even a mounted Highland Officer!?!
O.C.
 
I would like to see French cavalry bearing down on a British Square. To me that is what the Napoleonic Wars were all about. Call me parochial if you will but there you have it.

Some french cavalry bearing down on a sqaure sounds good but way does it have to be british??? There are so many british figures on the market already.
How about something new to fill the gaps that need to be filled?

I would like to see some 3 or 4 piece sets of some of the other allies in square poses like kneeling to repel/standing to repel and firing poses so you could buy mulitple sets of these to build squares.
Some dutch/belgian units or brunswick units would be cool and some british artillary hideing under there cannons and getting choped up by some currassiers outside of these squares would be great! Maybe a couple of dead gunners and a pose of one of the gunners useing the cannon ram to fight off the cavalry at close quarters.
How about a cuirassier firing from behind his dead horse.
If these other allied troops sell well in the 3 or 4 piece sets to make up some squares how about adding some command sets and wounded figures.
They should at least give something new a try and see if it sells and a couple of 3 piece sets that can be bought in multiples to form sqaures would be a great way to give it a try.
Just please no more bearded figures in armies that did not permit having beards! Save the beards for the sapper figures please!, they were allowed to have them.

Or as fish has suggested ... cossacks bearing down on a French column :)

If you will only open your eyes beyond Britains you will find that most of these figures are already on the market. May I direct you towards ATS, who has the most comprehensive range of Napoleonics on the market today. There are British, Scottish, French (old Guard, Young Guard, and Line), Dutch Belgian, Prussian, Bavarian, Russian (Pavlov, Guard and Line) plus others that I can't recall off the top of my head. All available in positions to make up Squares or line. You will also find "command" sets, mounted officers, colour parties, NCOs, wounded, dead, two and three figure groups, in fact most of the items you want. There is a world outside Britains, you know.

But not anybody like the style of ATS .... and K/C are to big to send them together with Britains into battle.
 
Just my two cents worth but i like FRONTLINE to mix in with BRITAINS.
not sure about ATS i thought they were glossy's maybe i will go have another.
look at there website.
but looking forward to seing what Britains do next with Naps.

ATS website says he will finish figures in matte if requested.

I just had a look there are some nice figures there but at that price i would rather buy Frontline or Britains.(nothing against ats i know they are painted in England) just a matter of taste.
unless they sell castings?:)
