Fair enough. And there won't be sadly.

There might be and if these are generic usage then it makes sense to get them done at some point.

The instructions to the sculptor which accompanied the illustrations were, inter alia, that "the figures should be in 'campaign' dress, no shako cords, perhaps with a shako cover, and a locally sourced water bottle."  As far as I can see that is what he's done and you have a mixture of shakos with and without covers.  He wasn't asked to provide figures with plumes because they didn't appear in any of the source material and would be very untypical.  I reiterate, these figures are intended specifically for the Peninsular War.

I understand - I just find that an odd restriction, there is so much more outside of that campaign. Personally I'd have appended them to the 1809 range but them I'm not in charge  :D

What can I say.  At the risk of repeating myself, my brief was to provide source material for the Peninsular War range.  That is what I did, so the Confederation types are in typical campaign dress for that theatre, not the Danube, or anywhere else.
