Hi Shecky

We already do a set for the trench warfare horror "Playing Leapfrog", but for the guns of August/Home by Christmas/Home before Leaves Fall a far more C19th approach we have deemed appropriate - still working on them as the paint goes on the figures, but to give full justice we are looking at a corps a side as this would give full play to the massive amount of artillery available and the problems of lines of march and wide frontages. Will let you know as we work on the system and as the brigades get completed. We have bought enough for a couple of German corps, British Corps, French Corps, Belgian Div etc. Scaling to get to the level I visualise is 1 base = 1 coy, battery or squadron with an emphasis on doctrine but also spirit as some of the Reserve and Belgian units could be very brittle. Also need some form of hidden movement which is a shame to hide such lovely figures as the early WWI range!

All the best
Bernie

Thanks Bernie.
I've thought that the early war was closer to "To the Last Gaiter Button" than to "Playing Leap Frog". I thought about taking some of the concepts of TTLGB and applying it to the early war period accounting for machine guns and better artillery. I'd be interested in seeing what you come up with.

These look very nice...early war French & German for me at some point I suspect 

Just to post, working Sunday!!!! to get masters to the designer for the next batch of infantry for the rest of the ww1 countries,  underway is also a rail gun it will be generic with different barrel types to go with it. - big is beautiful
I've made a note of the ww1 middle east poses to replace (from an earlier thread)

Pack mules are another one to plan, also british /german teams carrying the vickers/maxim forward already on the list are the lewis gun teams advancing and prone firing with their support.

Just the Bomber for me.

Is there a planned release date for these ?

And as there is a Lewis gun team in the planned list, what is the existing BP3 LMG pack armed with?

Another question about the existing WWI british - what is BP13 the 4.2" howitzer? The 4.5" seems to have be the standard medium gun, but not sure what the 4.2 represents.

Nice additions.  Will get me some of these, next order ..   

I'm thrilled about the new WW1. I'm looking forward to painting up some in the future.

Little bump, to see if anyone (Leon) know the answers to my questions, Ta.

These look wonderful .
I look forward to purchasing when released plus thee other ideas that have been mentioned. Is there a release date in mind ?

I'll check with Dave on the other questions, but on this one:

Probably September at the earliest I'd think.  We've got to get the Sci-Fi done first, and then the Nap Bavarians after that, plus a load of odds and ends somewhere along the way as well.

The BP3 code is a Lewis gunner advancing forward, and there are two new versions in the schedule, one of a team with the weapon shouldered plus support chaps, the other being a firing pose with ammo guys.

It's a typo as far as I know!

Good news about the Lewis gunners.  With the 4.2 / 4.5 howitzers, then what is the difference between BP9a and BP13?

BP13 is wrong and will be replaced

Serious request - Lewis gunner in cap or side hat, would be useable for VBCW and Home Guard.....
