What would collectors like to see from W. Britain in the future. (1 Viewer)

How about some British infantry lying down or kneeling to avoid cannon fire? At Waterloo full regiments were ordered to lie down while Officers and Ensigns holding the colours had to stand firm.

Some good suggestions Scott.

Since Britains are due to introduce into their Clash of Empires range a tumbril, which I'm sure will find it's way into many a Napoleonic diorama, perhaps a nice addition to the Napoleonic range which might fit in equally well would be a horse and cart with two or three wounded being carried with either civilian or military driver/handler could work for all participants. Perhaps with a camp follower.

A cantiniere dispensing her wares to waiting troop(s) would be a good addition too for the French and the British receiving their Gin ration would be another idea perhaps from an NCO. Haven't seen any Sergeant Majors as Yet !

To add to Scott's idea for British troops lying down, I'd like to add a request for a couple of figures of the 95th firing from the prone position.

Also would like to second Blackbobs request for figures representing the 71st and I'd like to add a request for figures for the 1st Foot and I'd like to see an Irish Regiment in the range too namely the 27th.

Regards

I'd like to add to my wish list a set of a prone Voltigeur and or Rifleman aiming over the body of a British or French casualty. I request such a pose as there are plenty of written historical instances of being fired on by such cover given to the opposing forces during / after a battle, sometimes when individuals of the opposing force were out looting from battle casualties,

Britains has done some wonderful ACW figures representing the 114th Pennsylvania - Collis' Zouaves. (Which will include a great Club figure for 2016)
The regiment was said to have a very talented band. Maybe one of the reasons Gen. Meade made the Zouaves his provost guard after Gettysburg.
The full 114th regimental band could be a great addition to the ACW line.

I'm hoping to see a bugler and a guidon bearer to accompany the two Dutch lancers released this year.

Cheers,

Napoleonics, Fifer for 1st Foot Guards and French Fusiliers.
Colours for 3rd Bn 1st foot Guards. A few New Regimental Eagles for French Regiments. Marching French Fusilier drummers without great coat.
Voltiguers and Grenadiers, RHA in action, French foot Artillery.
 
Napoleonic's To continue: Royal Horse Guards, Life Guards, Brunswick Hussar's, KGL Hussar's.
Clash of Empires: I'd like to see a few sections of Fort William Henry, with French British and Indian forces including some civvies. Maybe even a Hawkeye figure !! Rogers Rangers and raid on St Francis. Perhaps even a selection of Lewis and Clark figures as well.

Maybe some more Waterloo personalities? Ney mounted, Lord Hill mounted, Soult, A moubted Uxbridge, maybe some mountes regimental personalities, a regiment Colonel, maybe Maitland, Cooke? Baring?

Can't wait to see what W Britain has on the cards for Napoleonics this year!

Yes I agree and hopefully Ken will too ! A mounted Marshal Ney charging would be excellent, as would all our suggestions for other personalities.
And if a nudge is as good as wink, I would like to add to Napoleons forces. Polish Lancers, Dragoons, Hussars ,Cuirassiers, Carabinier's for the Cavalry and More Fusiliers, Voltigeurs, Grenadiers for the Infantry and of course Foot and Horse Artillery.
I would like to see the gradual introduction of Prussian, Russian and Austrian elements into the range.
