Just what I need to get my FPW project started again. I'm waiting for "To the Last Gaiter Button" to arrive then I can see how many figures I need to buy. That should give me enough time to finish my latest purchase of Germans and French early war WWII.

They are, well spotted!
I like the fact the base sizes gives you a mini diorama each time, but get used more often for Black Powder these days (but since i provide both sides it doesn't really matter!)

Your output is very impressive. I've now been shanghaied into producing loads of 28mm Italian Wars stuff so no more FPW for a couple of months.

I agree entirely with your work v. work-rate comment. And I love the "mini-dioramas". Far better for this period than static lines.
