I would love to see some more non-combat figures added to the Battle On Snowshoes line. How about more figures for the winter camp? Since all the historical literature talks about the Rangers using ice creepers, how about a figure seated either putting on or taking off a pair and another figure trying them out? For the camp, how about 2 Rangers carrying a recently shot deer and a cooking spit for meat to go with this? Rogers meeting with an officer in the camp would be great too!
 
I have to start digging through my FIW wish lists for the collectors club: http://www.treefrogtreasures.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12320

Here are a "few" suggestions:

Chevalier de Levis - POA
Royal Navy fighting sets - Monongahela (yes, there were some in the battle)
Indian personalities - Pontiac or Half-King
French flag bearers - POA

If John ventures outside of his current lines like he did with Champlain, then:

- Colonel Henry Bouquet from Bushy Run Battle
- Black Watch (Ticonderoga or Bushy Run)
- Vaudreuil signing the French capitulation.
- La Corne and the few survivors of the shipwrecked Auguste. Standing forlorn on the beach reflecting on the loss of family, friends and war.
- Pitt being carried into the House of Commons to debate the Treaty of Paris.
 
Chevalier de Levis was not at POA, unfortunatly for the French. If he was the battle might have taken a different turn.
All the same, a special Levis figure would be great to have.
 
If John continues to expand the 1812 series, I'd like to see him do a collectors club set of Tecumseh and Gen. Brock at the taking of Detroit.

Let's call it the Battle of Quebec. If John ever does Ticonderoga, then another opportunity. :)
 
I think a Ticonderoga series would make many of us very happy.:)
 
For collector's sets.....if he concentrates on B of M.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Charles-Michel Langlade...

a Jean-Daniel Dumas...

definitely a Pontiac or Shingas...........I always said nobody does Indians like John....

more dead Brits...not just wounded...

definitely some more civilian wagoneers, especially both women and children, non combatants...he has nothing for a peaceful scene of civilians...

a scalping set...with scalp in hand...
 
(1) Expanding Combat's idea for Half King --- Half King's killing blow of Ensign Jumomville in May 1754.

(2) Surrender of Major James Grant of the 77th Highlander's at Grant's Defeat near Fort Duquesne in September 1758.

(3) George Washington on Horeseback directing the Troops while under fire -- good for 1754 and 1758.

(4) General Forbes, sickly, but outside a cabin at an officer's meeting (Bouquet and Washington).

(5) Captain Dumas rallying the French and Indians at BoM.

(5) And the most needed figure of all, a BoM Grenadier Officer for the firing line. Hell, I would take Gage!!
 
Like I said in one post somewhere. There is still a few more things to be done for Battle on The Monongahela.
 
Breaujeu actually getting shot.
Langy in summertime
Other French partisan officers.
more personalities.
and even though I usually want real historical persons how about Hawkeye and Magua.
