Swedes!? Although they were part of the Army of the North, they saw hardly any action in the Leipzig campaign. Leon should not consider wasting time and effort on this, when completion of the Prussian range plus a Russian range would be far more cost effective.

True, but then Leipzig wasn't really close to Wagram, Aspen-Essling etc, and so the Prussian and Russians wouldn't be any use either. :P

More Italian Wars poses! More VBCW poses! More partisans and Resistance!

Especially the latter!

What have Wagram and Aspern-Essling got anything to do with expanding the current later range of Napoleonics to cover the 1813-14 campaigns?

They have to do with the fact that there are some here present for whom the failure of Pendraken to ever produce a single new Napoleonic figure would be a matter of no great consequence :)

As I've said before, I don't envy Leon and Dave the job of sorting out what to make, what has a real potential and what just has a vocal minority support, given that whatever they make inevitably people will grumble because they didn't make something else instead!

Aztecs and Tarletons for instance  ;) ;)

It is difficult, give the massive variations of uniform in any particular period, so I agree with the full statement.

So having seen the comments about Napoleonics, I think the Peninsula War is the best bet.  :(

Sorry chaps, wasn't trying to ruffle feathers. It does, though, make one appreciate Leon's problems.

I agree entirely. I had already made a similar point. I simply saw no relationship between the comment about an 1809 campaign to others comments re 1813-14. I have always considered that Leon and Dave stretch themselves far too thinly in terms of modelling time and cost in an attempt to satisfy everyone. I could have suggested some additions or revamps ( I have actually paid for some modelling of additional items) but, no disrespect to Leon and Dave, it would probably be a long time coming and I could quite easily have moved on to something else.

Nothing but they have a huge amount to do with completing the 1809 range before starting a whole new sub-period range

Chad

Well unless Leon and Dave are asked to produce a French range reflecting the change in uniform (probably not relevant in 10mm?), then surely the completion of both the Austrian and French figures for 1809 would add figures that could be used for 1813-14.

As wished many times, I'd like to see 41 Royal Marine Commando amongst the first of the Korean range. (as they were in real life).

The RM beret and US uniform/weapons gives a wide range of post war/NATO  applications.
