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...BaronVonWreckedoften wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 2:27 pm 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.

Re: What are people buying?
I'm currently on quite a lucrative contract, so I am laying in stock for the lean years, according to the biblical precedent.

Re: What are people buying?
I still have my French versions I bought in the 70s. I also picked up a German omnibus version covering the 2 lace wars volumes, both Napoleonic volumes as well as the Franco Prussian War.
