THANK YOU - Brad ! It is very great to have the proper tech assistance in these photo matters.
And thank you Wellington and Fubar - the photos themselves arent that great - but, I think you guys get the idea of what I have displayed in my office. I do have a large number of Dragoons charging that square.

Agreed that the Prussians are dark uniformed ...
But I wonder how Andy feels about the Austrians in white ... personally, I find the Austrians real cool, right next to the Russians.

I have always been a strong believer that the Napoleonic Range needs to get outside just a French vs. English Conflict.
The Napoleonic Period was the FIRST World War and many countries were involved. The Polish Lancers prove that making other allies will be a BIG SELLER for K&C for this range. Like I have stated before - if you make a few infantry to start - something collectors will buy muliples of -- you can gauge the success of the figure addition to the range.
Dont get me wrong - I am extremely happy that Andy has given us new French Heavy Calvary and soon to be released Cold Stream Guards - but, there is still a bigger market out there for additional "other ally" figures - IMO.

I am wondering if you have seen the new Heavy Cavalry at the Symposium ... can you tell if these are truer to 1/32 like the new ACW ... or do they remain like the previous, close to 1/30 scale/size, ala the retired Dragoons.

NOPE - Louis hadnt got his paws on those wonderful figures - I dont even think he collects the new Napoleonic stuff ? So you guess is as good as mine. I would think they would be simular to the Dragoons.

Steve,
I think you might as well just give in to "the fever." You can only fight it so long before you sucumb! I fought it for a long time and it still got me in the end. Please know you have my deepest sympathy.
Warmest personal regards,
Pat

Come on over and join the French Revolution
We have a place for you in the GRANDE ARMEE !!
You will find that the Napoleonics are a great set to collect. The colors and the history is just wonderful. It is also very Politically Correct to display - I have found that everyone who comes into my office is very interested in the period and the great figures.
No one in America is put-off by the period or the politics of the time. Actually its a funny feeling of rooting for both sides - We of course have our "special relationship" with the English and that brings a kinsmanship to them - but, we appreciate the French for their help against those nasty English Monarchs in our own revolution and enjoy watching that Union Jack get slashed by some French Calvary - interesting mix wouldnt you say?
The Germans (Nazis) and the Civil War period has the ability to cause those PC activists a reason to stir - but, the Napoleonic Wars do not.
