From a purely personal standpoint you would have to
pay me to game Waterloo.

Equally, unless there is sufficient interest from other people
then it is not necessarily a commercial proposition. You also
seem to completely ignore the fact that the modellers used by
Pendraken may not have the time available to produce a range of
British. Both statements would also relate to Prussians.
Many of them do not work exclusively for Pendraken.

I'm just glad that Napoleonics hold no interest for me at all  #:-S I'd hate for Pendraken to disappoint me!

I'm a great Napoleonics fan. There is enough in the Pendraken range to keep me occupied until they Brits arrive.

Not of course if you need 1815 Brits & Prussians, the latter of course, for the unaware, fought and played a most significant part in the largest battle of the Napoleonic wars, where all nations were involved.
Only Wellington and Blucher were there and able to engage Napoleon. But then if I wasn't aware of this and that the troops actually looked different , I would be quite relaxed about it.

Yes, its the difference between the low crowned tall fronted 1812 shako and the taller cylindrical stovepipe shako.

At least one unit was still in stovepipe at Waterloo.

The cavalry and artillery will double up for both.
If you want to do the Low Countries campaigns of the early 1800s or the Egyptian campaign you need bicorn wearing troops.

The war of 1812 was mixed shakos... :P

Shako's & plumes, it's the first thing you notice in a wargame.
for the French coat tails and shako's the greatest difference being coat tails and when you use a Brit army you do notice this when fighting the French.
Prussians, if you didn't have any, you would miss them at Ligny. All 100,000 of them

Was just considering the Brit Peninsular figures..... Looks like i may have to look at the new stuff too! ;)

Mike

Are you now intending to complain about Prussians
or buy MM figures? By the way the samples
of late Prussians by MM are not entirely accurate.

Pete

Chad

By the way Mike, you have not mentioned Bend Sinister figures.

Its 10mm FFS, without a magnifying glass will you really notice whether the Brit shakos are Belgic or not, sheesh.
Don't buy your daughters a pony, buy them heroin instead, its cheaper and ultimately less addictive.

Who is this FFS  that you address? ;) :-\. Surely this is not intended to cover an undeleted expletive?

FFS = "For Fenton's Sake". An appeal to a higher authority. This may be trumped by "FLS" - for Leon's Sake" or "JLS" which is a boy band who (and it's not well known) are all keen 10mm gamers. 

I would agree that with most manufacturers it may be difficult to tell a stovepipe from a Belgic - but this is Pendraken.   :P

Why are you asking me stuff while I'm  on top of this ladder
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!
