So now that 2012 is here there should be some expectation that one of the new FL lines will be announced fairly soon. Anyone have any idea when it will be announced or better yet what the line might be?
 
Its going to be hard enough for me to keep up with the AWI, ACW, and GOR ranges, let alone worry about new ranges for this year . . . . :wink2:

I agree, keeping pace with my current lines will be hard enough but its always good to have options^&grin Im really looking forward to seeing what Matt has in store for us.
 
It will be interesting to see what Matt has 'up his sleeve' as far as new ranges. I will say the ranges he has released thus far seem to have their own dedicated fan bases, with no 'duds' in the line up.

I would go for some French and Indian War, but it has been covered pretty well by other companies. Plus, it might be too close/similar to the AWI range, so I don't know if Matt would go there.

I was affraid someone would start this kind of thread {eek3} I have a collecting interest in Napoleonics , Rome and her enemies, The Crusades , The Armies and times of Frederick the Great , WW I and WW II. So far First Legion have me busy trying to keep up with whats out or coming out :redface2: . I can really only think of two more lines that would have me making even tougher choices and ordering another display case :( that would be Frederick the Greats 7 Years War ( Happy 300th Birthday by the way ) or a line dedicated to WWI preferably Eastern front but i must be honest I would be happy with anything WWI .
Its just getting to be too much of a good thing , I really can't imagine with them coming out with 4 new lines this year {sm2} Regards Gebhard

I have been asking for a couple of years but to no avail.As far as other companies doing the same ranges I don't think it has hurt the Romans or Zulus.

I would be powerless to resist if they did French and Indian war range especially if the battle of the Plain of Abraham was done. If FL did WW1 WW1 and the Canadian Corps were done well that would be the end of me I would simly not be able to choose between Naps, FIW and WW1. {sm2}{sm3}
 
Phew.... I was really close to starting another range today. I selected about 15 pieces and all I had to do was hit the submit button and my order would have been placed. I must have sat in front of my computer for about 20 minutes telling myself to stay the course and hold out. My will power must have been a little stronger then I thought. Surprisingly I fought the urge and told myself that there are 4 new ranges coming and one of them will more then likely draw me in. If Matt decides to do WWII (western front), A different Roman time frame, FIW or Vikings then I am toast.
 
WW2 Western front, eh, ok, Id be in for a few troopers. Im pretty happy with what I have for WW2 so Id pretty much cherry pick.

I REALLY have my fingers crossed for modern warfare but know its a hope and a prayer. Still, he has mentioned he likes Modern warfare movies and such before so who knows......

Id like to see you guys- Marco55 especially- get their FIW sets so here to hoping that arrives!!

You exhibited some pretty serious restraint there Joe! I was about to start sweating just reading that because I know the feeling all too well. I too am eagerly awaiting word of the forthcoming FL ranges. They already have so many ranges that they develop in such breadth, it's hard to imagine them adding more! I too am absolute TOAST if one of the new ranges is Vikings.
 
FIW and I'll be working 2 jobs!{eek3}I seriously doubt FIW will be one as it is too close a time period to AWI which has barely begun.If it is in this time period it will probably be SYW as Frederick the Great is hugely popular and JJD and Frontline's prussians have had very postive feedback.

Just throwing out ideas, but what about the English Civil War? I'm not real famliar with this era and it might be too close the Renaissance, but that could potentially be interesting. Has that conflict been covered before in the toy soldier world?

I do believe that a Frederick the Great line and a medieval series of the "100 Years War" will be in the upcoming 4 new ranges this year.
Other then that, of course there is a multitude of subjects, and whatever they pick, may it be Ancient (Greeks, Persians, Troy), Vikings, English Civil War, Aztecs & Conquistadores, FIW or WWI, we all know that it will be done nice and extensive.
With all the lines and figures they have up right now, I actually find it rather impressive to announce four new lines within this year. And new lines means "NEW", not a different theatre of existing lines, i.e. WWII.
Looking forward to the announcements this year and to see if I was right with at least one of my "for sure" subjects :)

On the basis that they already do the Wars of Antiquity, though in 40mm, I would hope we get to see these in a larger scale.

Did you mean RCMP? I Really hope they do not. If they made the RCMP I would be toast{sm2}{sm3} Then I would have to budget between Naps AWI and RCMP!
 
I have a feeling one will be WWI, and I would welcome that with open arms. I also think those guessing 7-Years War may be onto something.
 
If Matt decides to go with WWI, I would like to see him do the 1916-1918 time period. Both Britians and King and Country have been concentrating on the beginning of the war. 1916 saw the introduction of steel helmets by France, Germany and Britain, and gave us the major blood-lettings of the Somme and Verdun.

I will put in another pitch for the War of 1812, particularly the Battle of New Orleans. Right now only John Jenkins is touching the war and only the Battle of Chippawa. New Orleans has tremendous potential for variety (regulars, highlanders, riflemen, Marines on both sides, Naval gunners, field artillery, rocket toops, local militia, pirates) , and with the bicentennial of the war, couldn't be more timely.

I also wouldn't mind seeing Agincourt, or Naseby, or Culloden, or Breitenfeld, or Balaclava.
