Since there's so much SYW and AWI enthusiasm, what about some musicians for the baggage train? It was THE musical century. A string quartet, a harpsichordist and flautist (could be Fritz himself)...and there's that story of the quick-witted bandsman who scared off a threatening Cossack by pretending to aim his oboe like a carbine.

I'd buy a set.
Yes I will buy too
Two other C18th musical incidents
Frederick The Great was trying to cut back on the baggage his officers took on campaign to just their necessities. Travelling around the camp one night he heard a harpsicord being played. He eventually found the tent and it was a mere leutenant playing away. On being sternly questioned he said this was the NECESSITY as he had been good enough to leave his two employees who provided the trio accompaniment behind.
By far the most grandiose was the French marshal de Saxe who took a theatre and orchestra on campaign - panache!
Ok,put me down for a set to,please

Yes, and a set of soldiers in Camp mode, playing chess, ironing their clothes, putting up a tent, digging latrines, having a shave, drinking a bottle of wine, cooking, polishing, bulling oooooooooH!!!!!!
Dont put me down for a pack
;) ;D ??? :P :-[ :-\ :'(
As always in case of SYW figures this idea has my vote.
Yep looks fun to me. I'd be interested in a few packs for the Imagi-Nations armies, can't go to war without a good band1
Camp follwers shaving and playing chess etc, yeh why not :P :P :P
I've got a couple of seated samurai figures facing each other over a DIY go board.
Sounds good ;)
While we are talking music, how about a kettle drummer?
All added!

There is one - or at least you get a drummer with two drums in the British Horse Guards pack.
