Title: I need help !
Post by: Organistus on 02 June 2020, 05:48:59 PM
Hi everyone,
I begin a french army for FIW period but I meet a little problem : the lack of officers in 18th century ranges. (only one for 30 minis ! As project 10 units of 16-20 figures it will be difficult. anyone have a solution?

Jean-Louis from France (no.... from Normandy !)

If you message Leon  (leon@pendraken.co.uk) he may be able to up the number of officers or do a batch of officers for you. There's an added charge for such requests but Pendraken seem very open to meeting reasonable requests.

Also, if I haven't said this already, welcome to the forum!

As Ithoriel says, just drop us an email with an email of the command figures you need and we'll get them ready for you, no problem.

Been there, had that problem, sometimes solved with a bespoke order of just officers and at other times just an extra officer or two in each pack.

Leon is very accommodating.

And it's good to have more 18th-centuryists here too. :)

Welcome to the forum Organistus.

As others have said just send Leon an email.  I once asked for 20 assorted officers in tricorn to use as first fire markers. Leon came up trumps.  As I do WSS I always want two standard bearer for each unit, again no problems with Pendraken.
