Hello,
I would love to see Sweden added for the Napoleonic wars. It would make a great addition to the existing ranges.
Sweden participated in many wars during the Napoleonic conflict.
Franco-Swedish War (1805-1810)
Finnish War (1808–1809)
Dano-Swedish War of (1808–1809)
Swedish–Norwegian War (1814)
War of the Sixth Coalition (1813–1814)
Thanks,
Vince

For the General figure you could have, Georg Carl von Döbeln. As a lieutenant, Döbeln took part in Gustav III's Russian War and was shot in the head at the Battle of Porrassalmi. The wound did not heal properly and he was forced to wear a black silken bandanna for the rest of his life

It's one Ive used in 15, nice army but hardly a major player. Still add my vote.
This has been requested before, and it's on my request list, but Leon has said it's not likely because other companies that have introduced Swedish lines have had pitifull sales.
That's a shame, you can only hope.
Hullo,
Shameless plug for our Russo-Swedish war site GeMiGaBoK Russo-Swedish war site (http://www.the-ancients.com/gemigabok/suomen-sota-1808-1809/introduction-to-the-russo-swedish-war-project/)
At a pinch you can probably find e.g. Austrian Jagers or other proxy figures, or go with "campaign dress" which would probably be "rags" for this campaign. I suppose for the later campaigns the Swedes used uniforms that were more standard in appearance.
As to why Swedes are not very popular, I'd suppose being on the periphery is a factor. And the Russo-Swedish war is very challenging when it comes to playing any bigger battles, at least the historical ones are either small or not very good scenarios for games. And of course the whole Swedish strategy was bonkers.
Cheers,

Russia first please
+1 on the Swedes.
The Round hats could be useful as proxies for others ... British Marines, Danish, some lesser German states.
