The 1860s and 70s ranges are fantastic - but, there are still one or two gaps.   One of these will be plugged with what I hope is only the first of the FPW personality packs (an APW personality pack would also be useful!).  A second gap is for the French Guard Artillery. They need their own limber outriders and caisson and limber sitters to be able to complete the set. I think the figures from the new Napoleonic French may work, but would welcome confirmation.   Third would be some pioneer/engineer figures for both sides, and perhaps some dismounted dragoons?     Finally, on a separate topic, but still banging on about personalities,  what about some real ECW/TYW  commanders?


Cheers

Just to be a pain I'd like to repeat my usual request for the Falklands Range - especially given as we are only a year away from the 30year anniversary --- can I really be that old !!!!

The Nam Aussies are not suitable for Falklands British or Argentieian in any way the uniformes are completly different, plus I have never seen a picture of a squaddie in the Falklands with sleves roled up! Even the PBR is not suitable for the Aussies as with the exception of Bung Touh we never opperated in any delta or river enviroment.

As a newcomer, may I add my vote to the Korean War? Strikes me that most of the Brits and Yanks could be lifted straight from WWII. All that's then needed is the NKPA and those pesky Chinese. New equipment might include Centurions and M48s, but again the majority of the stuff already exists in WWII.

While I'm at it, can I also include a heartfelt plea for 1866 Saxon limbers and teams. You already do Hanoverian and Austrian, so why not the other nations?

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Not the Britrish I'm afraid, same weapons, but lots of US cold weather stuff.

I'll try and get one done for next week sometime, with the requests split into ranges and individual items.

I will just make this point about new releases, I have been gamming for the last 45 years, in that time period I have started many armies in different scales, at least 3/4 of them are unfinished (or were unfinished till I sold them). My point is this, within the pendraken range there are many ranges that are not quite finished of, and in many cases the only need 1 or 2 figures to finish them off. For example the Vietnam range, the only figure missing is an NVA figure Standing with RPD LMG, and a couple of tanks PT76, Centurian and M48. That in my humble view point would finish the range of. Another example would be the Dark Ages where a packet of 3 civiillian figure would also finish the range of, and make some usefull additions to the Medievil Range. At the same time Pendraken has got to be honest with us. It's a business and I think it would be fair for you to let us know which ranges are not selling and no new additions will be made to those ranges

[Nosher]

So whats next on the Top Ten list?

And how far off are/is the Falklands range? Its been No1 for some time now...

I think they all sell really, the only slow ones would be the current League of Augsburg (which is being replaced), the Plains War range (which are older, smaller style figures) and maybe the Crimean stuff?  We're quite happy to add to any of the ranges though, it's purely about how many votes things get.  We wouldn't have bothered adding the SYW French w/ turnbacks to an already comprehensive range, but there was a lot of interest, so we got them done.

There are a few ranges where we'd look at replacing the whole lot instead of just adding a code, but not many of them.  The Crimean and a couple of the Ancients ones would be like that.

And how far off are/is the Falklands range? Its been No1 for some time now...

I'm gonna get the new Top 10 list done very soon, I've been struck down by the plague again so haven't been into work today.  The Falklands is still up there, so it'll be one of the main contenders once we've got the Schleswig range done.  And 2012 would be the 30th Anniversary...

Molinary is right, I vote for what he suggests: more APW and FPW personalities (Friedrich-Karl, Mac-Mahon, Canrobert, Friedrich-Wilhelm, mounted ADC for both camps), pioneers, pontooners, dismounted cavalry, guard limbers.) I also suggest a generic encampment scenery for the 19th century.

[Paint it Pink]

I'll just add that the Vietnam range seriously needs some stuff added to it.

Huey variants: Hogs and slicks with open doors.
Cobra gunships.
Riverine Monitors: Command, troop carrier, fire-support variant etc.
USMC AMTRAC variants.

[Leon]

All added!

...more APW and FPW personalities (Friedrich-Karl, Mac-Mahon, Canrobert, Friedrich-Wilhelm, mounted ADC for both camps)

I'll pop it on the lists, but I couldn't see us adding any more for the foreseeable future.
