This is my personal Napoleonic wish list.
1. Dead marker. Really need this, a generic figure preferably, ideally without a base(!) so that it can be thrown onto the table, and scraped up at the end of a cycle
2. A few 2 man vignettes to represent unit status. E.g. officer wounded falling from horse being caught by aide, soldier using musket as crutch, soldier being helped from the battlefield, wounded soldier being attended, horse lying down being shot
3. Austrian Fusilier in shako
4. A second figure for each current firing figure (loading or port musket) to allow skirmish bases. Even Austrian line infantry can have skirmishers!
5. Hussar and chasseur a cheval mounted skirmishers
6. Lancer second rank with sword and carbine where appropriate
7. Post 1810 Saxons, especially the cuirassiers ( Leib, Zastrow)
8. Russians
9. Spanish
10. Portuguese
Is the end of the week time enough?
Rob :) :)

How many Phil Collins albums do you think he'll demand in payment?
Don't! It will only take him to The Land of Confusion!
Sacrilege I know, but have a look at some of the other 10mm sites. I have used Irregular's wounded Uhlan being helped from the field (WWI range), MM do some wrecked guns, limbers and zouave dead markers in their ACW range. There may be other stuff around as well. At the end of the day 95%+ of my C19th stuff is Pendraken, but for those unusual items there are other places to look. Incidentally Pendraken already do a generic C19th casualty figure, which I've also used for WWI Russian.
Casualty figures get my vote as do austrians in shakos
I guess that the Austrians in the 1812 range should in shako but the sculpts are of an older variety which some might not consider to be compatible with the newer sculpts.
Votes added!

Russians from which period? Pre or post 1807?

Post.
1812-14 is my favoured period of the Nappy wars. :)

Cheek !....I've only just spotted these. :P
Anyway....I've got all of the Phil Collins' albums that I want, and I'm definitely up to date with the entire Genesis catalogue.
Cheers - Phil

Blimey! When Genesis were formed, weren't they named after the latest best seller?

Yep.....'The proper catalogue' :-[.....I only exclude "compilation" albums, where I've already got all the tracks, anyway. :D
Certainly got......Every studio album, every 'bona fide' live album, rarities albums.....and a number of bootlegs.
(Yes, I know I'm a sad git.....It's the same with 'Yes' and 'Emerson, Lake & Palmer'.)
Cheers - An Old F*art.

Although a tad finicky (well, only the first time, you get better with practice), you can cut off the legs of the firing figure and reposition it so that he's kneeling. Maybe add a generic infantryman holding the rifle with both hands and you can get a pretty decent open order styled base. It should look quite alright, although I would agree that a kneeling / loading figure would be nice, you can get by it with a little greenstuff and chopping :)
Leon,
A thought occured while painting yet more French infantry. The NCO figure in the French command group (the one holding a musket) could be made into a casualty figure by bending the body and head backwards and possibly moving his right arm in as if he was receiving a bullet in the chest. :o

That's not a bad shout, we need to get the casualties done for all the nations at some point, so I'll bear that in mind.
