After a January distinctly lacking in new goodies, it's time for our first batch of releases for 2013!
First up, we've got our first new range of the year, and one which hasn't been previewed on the Forum before now, as we head over to the America/Canada border for the Fenian Raids! These raids were carried out from 1866 through to 1870 by the Fenian Brotherhood, as they attacked British targets in Canada, in an attempt to bring pressure on Britain to withdraw from Ireland. Figures wise, these chaps are in the British 1860's Home Service uniform, so as well as the raids, they could also come in handy for any number of What If style scenario's back in Europe.
Speaking of the ACW range, we've also added a few handy battlefield items, with the wagon, ambulance and field forge all now available.
And bringing up the rear, the WWII French partizans which were previewed some time ago now, have also been added to the website.
So, here's the full list:

Well done, Leon, on a bright start to February!
And a brand new range! I can see what our 1809 sculptor has been busy with. And 7 foot variations! Jealous, moi?
Looks good. You can also use them for an alternate history of a U.S. invasion of Canada or perhaps with Prussians for the Battle of Dorking.
Nice addition to the ranges there Leon 8).
Well, that was something different! :D Nice one guys! Can see the canooks being used in many other conflicts too!
Ah, "foot in shako" - someone as clumsy as I am. :o
Could you also do those waggons with oxen?
I’m glad to see the ACW wagons. I Will need to place an order soon.

Ah... #-o
There weren't any discernable differences in uniform, so the foot can be used as both types. We've also got some conversions to come, for foot in pork pie hats, and Dave's also considering getting the Armstrong 12lb gun done as well for this range.

Liked the ACW wagons - will be ordering soon!!
Good stuff - those wagons are lovely.
Strange though, I had no idea I had an urge to do the Fenian Raids until now ;D
those shakoed men will be good to painted as US Marines

This is simply torture.
We aim to please, a lot of the figures later this year will be ww1, I've already made the note of the prone figures ;) this includes vehicles motorised and horse drawn new artillery crews for the larger guns etc
Also a push to complete the LOA range before pastures new.
Also a big range that will be a favourite of mine!!!!!
Dave
