Quote from: 76mm on 27 April 2026, 03:54:30 PMThanks...but I was working from the Excel sheet rather than the list here in the forum, and on the Excel sheet there are no caissons, and those numbers are either missing or refer to other figures! 

That was my mistake too.  They aren't on the spreadsheet.  Anyway I've added them in myself and my pledge is now £847.50.

Quote from: Wonkey Donkeys on 26 April 2026, 06:54:12 PMVery tempted by this kickstarter. If you are open for suggestions for stretch goals how about Murat charging? French 1809 voltigeur skirmishing ? flèches and a pontoon bridge with engineers?

I'd buy a pontoon train.  French and other nationalities.   On the French skirmishers, there are line and light skirmishers in the proposed early French range and some in colbacks for 1809 proposed too.  Let's hope there are enough pledges for the Russians to make them happen.

Excellent, what is your pledge value and I will add it to the total?

Quote from: 76mm on 27 April 2026, 11:12:24 AMIn for at least GBP150; probably more once I've looked at the Pavlovskys and the Saxons come out.

Thank you, I'll get that added in!

I'm sure what's happened there, the caissons should have been on the order form!  I've corrected that and uploaded a fresh one here: https://www.pendraken.co.uk/user/RussianNapsOrderForm2.xlsx and updated the original post too.

Fantastic, we'll have those French unlocked very soon!

Quote from: Leon on 26 April 2026, 05:09:47 PMYou'd get 7 full sets (officer, drummer, 2 standards) and then 2 extra figures, probably officer and musician usually.

You could make the 2 extra figures as alternative musicians with horns to go with Jager units.

Hi Leon,

Happy to see you're working toward release of early Russians. Please put me down for £380.00

Really wish the early grenadiers were in large packs, don't really understand why they are in small ones.

I thought Grenadier Regiments of the time had 1 btn of grenadiers and 2 btn of fusiliers whilst Musketeer Regiments were 1 btn of grenadiers and 2 btn of musketeers. Am I wrong - it's been 20+ years since I did any serious research on this?

The pack quantities aren't fixed yet, so we can always adjust those to 30-man packs if folks prefer.

No, you are right about the early organisation.  You have a fair point and my inclination would be 30-figure packs with command separate in 16-figure packs.

I would also like 30 men packs.

I agree. I think the 1809 Austrian Grenadier  could also benefit with having 30 man packs in the range as well.

Hi Leon

Curse temptation  :'(  put me down for £200. Will work out specific codes later.

That's fine, we'll make those 30-man packs when it comes time to finalise the orders at the end of the campaign.

No worries, that's been added on!

QuoteHave you seem mypledge posted yesterday? If no you can count me for 300 livre.

That latest batch of pledges takes us just £500 short of our first target!  The French are looming!

Leon:

First, Glad to meet you in person at Cold Wars back in February. I was great talking with you. Hope you can make over to our side of the pond again.

Second, Glad you are feeling better.

Put me down for 236.80. Now, if you get to the 1806 Saxons, I'll purchase a truck load of those. Without seeing the codes, probably another 200-300 pounds.

Great to see you too and thanks for the pledge, that takes us very close to the French!

Good news on the grenadier packs, thanks for that - probably won't change the value of my pledge noticeably but will change the detail :D

If we're looking for additional figures for awards the Austrians would really benefit from Hungarian fusiliers in helmet to fit in with the 1805-06 period (and whilst at it might as well add German fusiliers in shako to complete the range).

Oh and caissons for all! - Not to mention those ever elusive wurst limbers for Austria and Bavaria!

Yes, I need some Austrian Wurst limbers, 8 of them. Also found out that France used them (6 batteries worth I think) in 1791-92 ish, so a need for anybody doing Revolutionary Wars.
