I know it won't happen, but American Revolution including colonial era British Marines (and the proper term is British Marines as they did not receive their royal charter until the turn of the century).
I think there maybe a chance, at some point, K & C do produce a lot targeted at the US market, which is understandable, largest market. Bunker Hill would be the most obvious engagement, i do not collect the American Revolution series, have K & C released some US Forces who were there? Or some figures that could be re-released after modification? If not it would be a new sub-series.
1802 - was Royal Charter, George III, but so were the majority of these types of decisions, it was Admiral John Jervis, 1st Earl of St Vincent that pushed it with the King. I read Davidson's book on Jervis, interesting person, read a lot of books about British Military leaders of the period, with Cochrane and Picton being, for me, the most interesting.

To be honest I enjoy a surprise and Andy never fails to provide a few of those.

K&C had a very nice AWI series some years back, seemed focused on the Southern campaigns. I agree, Bunker Hill would be the battle I'd love to see represented. Lots of great units to portray.
I'll take a look at the Davidson book. I'm currently on a bit of a British Navy bend myself, finishing up the Chatterton book on the East India Trading Company's Bombay Marine. Some real tough men back then.

I relaunch the suggestion, already made by some Members, of a line of Sailors / Pirates suitable for 18th century ships. I have the stunning Napoleonic Royal Marines Landing Party and Officers and I'd like to have some Brit Sailors to embark on the Playmobil vessels which, if properly repainted and re-equipped, can be well adapted to our Bootnecks.
Not for November of course, but if scheduled today we could have them for next year.
Cheers

Hi Guys,
I always welcome your thoughts and 'guesses' regarding what's going to be coming out in our upcoming 'Dispatches'....Sometimes you're spot-on...at other times it's more of a 'wish list' of your own personal 'wants, needs and must-haves'...
Whatever it is it's fun to read and I appreciate your interest and enthusiasm.
All will be revealed this coming Monday...Until then, have a great and relaxing weekend and...happy collecting!
Andy.

Yes Mate I'm sure the Mutt Jeep from K&C will do a better version of this than the other manufacturer! What do you think of this Vietnam war monster for under the Christmas tree

Animal Mother would I guess be nearing release, maybe the ARVN MP too.
Is it too early for the characters in front of Andy's Saigon Bar, Miss Saigon, the Village elder and the Mystery Soldier in the Blue hat yet ?
Perhaps even the USMC and Aussie Mortars !?
Only a couple of days and we'll find out !
