Did the Maris Pipers play stirring tunes as they marched to battle ?

Think the theme of this thread has been well and truely mashed, we'll all be boiled by the Tarleton fans, and roasted by the Aztecs!
Sorry, sleep deprivation really sauted my brain last night.

Sounds like you've got a bit of a chip on your shoulder there

Whole thing sounds half-baked if you ask me!   I'll get my jacket!

a big prompt 

Hi

Just seen that Kallistra are doing AWI in 10mm and they will have cav in Tarletons!

As Pendraken's range are "big" 10mm's and Kallistra are more 12mms than 10mms then the range should be compatible

Whereas nobody is doing the Mexicans! And, come to think of it, who could afford such a large army of their figures? Kallistra don't come cheap.

I'm not sure Kallistra will be compatible. Judging by this pic on General Shermans blog;

Assuming the ACW and AWI ranges are roughly similar. I've heard that their increased size is a conscious decision on Kallistra's part, I can understand why.

I wouldn't worry though, the first of the AWI cavalry should be ready in a few weeks.

Yes, Kallistra is definitely too big for Pendraken. Their “Conscious decision” lost my business.

Yes, its a bit odd. I understand the motivation behind it, if the idea is to encourage the customer to commit to that range and that range only, but its a zero sum gamble. Either you'll get all their business or none of it.
It would be nice if they were compatible, its always useful to have additional variety in an army. Not sure the bosses will approve of me saying that or not, but my view is that compatibility helps different companies ranges mutually. That's just a guess, maybe people in the business with actual figures in front of them know better.

Well, the past ranges must be selling well enough to continue adding new ranges. I can’t imagine that their new AWI range will be more complete than what Pendraken already offers. At this point the only way I would consider using Kallistra figures is if they offer a range that is not covered by Pendraken, Like the War of 1812.

As far as I'm aware, the original reason for the bigger figures goes back to when they started using our Fantasy figures.  With the Fantasy ranges being a little larger than the historical 10mm, more in the 12-14mm bracket, when Kallistra wanted some Medieval-style humans to go with them, a slightly larger figure was sculpted.  That sizing has then continued through their other ranges.

That makes sense
