Hi Leon,
After working out what's needed for my collection I got to £319.80. Possibly a bit more depending on what's available in the stretch goals later.
Cheers
Albert

Excellent, that puts us over our initial target and the French are now unlocked!  I've updated the initial post and I'll add the info here too.  If you'd like to add any of these, just total up your French order and post your additional pledge, and I'll get it added to our total.

Do we have pictures of any of the French?

Not just yet but I'm hoping to get them done on Friday. 

I had a day back at work today and managed about 5 hours before the world was too squiffy through my good eye, so I'm staying home tomorrow to do some computer work and then I'll head in on Friday to get some jobs done.  I'll photo the next batch of Russians at the same time.

If your eye is giving you trouble slow down!  We'd prefer your eyesight to quicker photos!

Pledge of £428.95 for early French.  I'll need more when the 1806 Prussians and Saxons appear and cavalry from the 1809 range.

Very nice, that gets us halfway to the next target!

Are there any dedicated ADCs for the Russians or do the various "mounted officers" fulfill this role?

Regards

Lee

Well...having asked Leon about 1806 Prussians a few times over the years it would be rude to not partake. I've got no idea exactly what I want (other than some French, Prussians and Saxons!) so stick me down for £200 while I ponder...

Cheers

Andy

The mounted officers should be fine there, or the mounted generals in the 1811-15 range.

Thanks Andy, that gets us a bit closer to the Prussians!

Upgrade mine to £120.60

Will do, thanks!

I'll definitely be up for 1805-07 French and 1806 Prussians but can't increase my pledge unfortunately - that's my budget blown for the year already 

I mean, I know its says 1806-07 but we mean 1805 right? The fusiliers are in hats not shakos?

The light infantry are they in early shako with side plume or also in hat?

Carabiniers in bearskin skirmishing would be nice if not essential.

Might be worth adding the headgear to the description to avoid repetitive questions

To answer your questions and for anybody else who wondered, it certainly should read 1805-1807.  The range covers the period from Austerlitz to Friedland.  The line infantry are in in campaign dress (pantalons) with hats.  The rationale being that the 1806 shako wasn't even authorised until February 1806 and as flash to bang for items of kit was 18 month to 2yrs, give or take, very few if any probably reached the army before June 1807 and the earliest reliable imagery I know of showing shakos is post Tilsit.  If anybody wants infantry in shakos, use the 1809 range.  Light infantry are also in campaign dress with the unique 1801 shako.  Dawson's study of the army at Austerlitz shows that several light infantry regiments were still in hats in 1805.  For these use line types.  The foot artillery and train are also in hats.  For horse artillery and cavalry types use figures from the 1809 range.  I'm not sure whether skirmishing carabiniers would be a viable item given the numbers potentially required, but I agree skirmishing figures including elites, in all ranges, would be a nice addition.  Not a challenge to produce the masters.  Let's hope the pledges are sufficient to release the French, the early Russians need opponents.

John,
I'm hoping for the 1806 Prussian *despite having more than enough in 15/18mm), its so bad its one of my favourite armies!

Me too.  I resisted buying the old Magister Militum stuff for years, which was not that much of a challenge because I didn't like them very much.  This whole exercise for me has been with a view to getting the Prussians, and Saxons, done.  The masters are ready and if they see the light of day you'll get a full range of all types from rifle armed schutzen with rifle rests to Towarszy lancers.  So, spend baby spend!

Hi Leon. Excited about the new Russian range.

I pledge £271.90.

Cheers

Nigel

I look forward to seeing some more images of the Russians, as a few codes have piqued my interest for my ImagiNations forces. However don't rush Leon as your health is much more important!

That's a very handy amount, and takes us just over the next target!

I've got the photos of the next lot of Russians, so I'll get those uploaded tomorrow.

That takes us over the £7k target and unlocks the Prussians as well!
