I'll get on Matt's nerves enough until he agrees to do it.
Boxer Rebellion is my vote--lots of countries and uniforms including Russians which FL likes to do.
Well to that I can only say PENINSULA!!!!My 13 year old daughter uses this strategy on me and with much success I'm embarrassed to say.

My only problem with the bases is that they are somewhat limiting in varying figure positions in formations. As such they are biased toward static display versus diorama. Contrary to popular notion, rigid perfection in close order formations were a phase of battles and even for that it would be nice to be able to slightly turn a figure without changing the spacing. An octagon or circle would be preferable to me but in any case, it is a small annoyance.I personally like the bases used for the Napoleonic range. It works for Napoleonics. It may not work for other ranges. An ACW range would also, be an interesting range for FL to deploy. Napoleonics and ACW are my main ranges of collecting.
Unfortunately, it is one of those areas where the interests of collectors and manufacturers do not coincide. The sooner you announce something the sooner you let your competitors have the opportunity to copy it or even produce a similar item sooner.As someone said in a prior post, it would be nice for the manufacturers to announce their plans a lot earlier, at least a year in advance, so that collectors can prepare themselves (mentally and financially) for the onslaught...
Thank you mate, maybe we could start a "wave"?For other lines in the Napoleonic Wars, I would vote for the Peninsula first, second would be Leipzig.
Dare I bring up the subject? There is also the American Civil War, which has "been done to death" but First Legion figures would be awesome. First Legion broke new territory with their Stalingrad figures. First Legion could do western theater Civil War (Tennessee).
The Confederate uniforms were different. Different cut, different color. Chickamauge could be the battle represented. Longstreet's corps came to Tennessee to bolster Bragg's forces. So both western and eastern depot uniforms could be shown.
Great point's , I think you go along way in making a very good case for ACW . Even though I'm burnt out on CW at the moment . The CW will always be a period of military History that I'll love , I just was totally immersed in it for years and Traveled to many CW battle fields on the East coast and I need a break. But I could see how a First Legion CW line would pull me back in. I'm thinking of joining a unit to take part in the 150th anniversary reenactment of Gettysburg in 3 years. That would be awesome
