We'll definitely have Brits and Prussians released before then, plus hopefully some more French additions. We've not planned anything out beyond that just yet.

If you look at the uniforms you will find you can already do about 75%
Belgium are either British 1815 or British foreign issue i.e. the same as as Portugese, late Spanish, some Hanovarian, and some Prussian Landwher/Reserve infantry.
The first varient will be available and just needs painting blur. The second would be so easy and would have so mant uses, come-on Leon :). It could be done by giving the British rifleman a musket and changing his sword to a bayonet.
Hanovarian are the same variants but in red or green. Prussian Landwher can be used also.
Dutch and Nassau using an Austrian German infantry in shako. I know Pendraken dont do this but I think they should because he did exist in 1809 and became more prevalent later. Failing this the Hungarian will do.
Where you will not find substututes is with some of the flank companies that have a roll on the shoulder, but this could fairly easily be added I think, and the Nassau grenadiers in colpack.
Have a look at the uniforms on this site:

Train spotters please leave this space is for wargamers.
I'd loved to have spotted a train! Blooming things seemed to be as rare as Pendraken Aztecs when I wanted one!
Going back for more - FSN
Leopard spotting, now; that shouldn't be too hard.

It's getting the d...ned thing to keep still while you put the spots on that is hard!

Cat measles! Job done.
Or you can feed the kitty chocolate chip cookies. Cat's adore chocolate, though it's not good for them.

I believe sir, that I may have met you before, on some far flung field of war. You showed me your tools... and if that doesnt get some kind of response everyone is dead or their internet has packed in :D
I do like to get my tools out, sorry about that. If only I'd known you were a 10mm freak like me I may have let you touch them
???

I wasn't then... (however you do have an impressive set... my wife almost swooned. I was a lancer and didnt have time for little lead men. Spent too much time polishing my tack and shovelling sh*t.
prior to that i was Light infantry... but I like horses and re-enactment and I found a group where I could do both at the same time :D

Got plenty of my own still, without adding more :)
WTF has this thread got to do with Waterloo? It didn't even start with it and seems t5o be going nowhere near it. Anyway as everyone gears up for Waterloo I shall probably be refighting Inkerman.

Great timing ;)
To be fair the first four posts were pretty much on topic and some of the next few were within a few decades - much better than several threads I have seen :D
Tell us more about your plans for Inkerman :)

Re Paul's query about Inkerman, I am planning to refight this using the BBB scenario and Irregular 6mm unit blocks based on 30mm squares. The blocks provide British in two ranks and everyone else in three ranks (the British blocks are in the Napoleonic Miscellany section; the British Guards block is slightly too long to fit on the 30mm base).
Inkermann always puts me in mind of the Great Agrippa.

Will this be a fifteen-round contest?
