I have a sum total of one experience playing Frostgrave, and that was with GM back before the world fell. November ‘18?

I'm sure you're right about that, but apart from a brief burst of launcethusiasm the others seem to have dropped off in popularity fairly quickly. (I'd probably exclude RoSD from that).
At least with North Star behind them the figures won't disappear even if it was a massive flop.

I've been quietly amassing some figures for a "Witcher world" setting for RoSD, I might even have enough to break my non playing habit and get started with a game or two :O

1809 Austrians v Bavarians already in my painting queue.

(Likely to remain there for a while, but it's the thought that counts.)
I also managed to find some Foundry Jaeger and Grenze on fleabay so they have been added to the stash. Now I'm just tossing up whether to round off the Austrian forces with Perry or Foundry. It might just come down to postage...

I'm aiming for two forces of each - one replicates an Austrian advance guard (Grenzer and Hussars) attacking a Bavarian line regiment, the second is t'other way around.

Well I do have some AB Miniatures British Marines and an insane amount of 18mm Ottomans (ie. my Muster Miniatures Stock)....so I could do something in N.Africa or Eastern Mediterranean if I teleport the British there :D
There you go, British in Egypt all the way up to Acre. Not sure how long after kicking Napoleon out we actually left.

Cool. I put in a couple more bids for foundry Austrians on fleabay, I always do this, and end up with badly organised forces with way too many officers, drummers and standard bearers, so then I buy more line figures and end up with way too many...
