FTFY.

Yes, your version is probably more accurate...

And don't get me started about OG selling exactly the same figures with different labels on the bag... They sold the Austrian SYW artillery bag additionally as Hanoverian, British and French... I ordered one each of Austrian, Hanoverian and French artillery and got three identical packs.

Copestake's response was "Well, the uniforms all look the same when they're not painted."

No they fucking don't, you knob!

Which reminds me... After that exchange, my mate Jase (he of the Russian Napoleonic army) went back to his stand and bought something worth £20, then offered Copestake a £5 note. When Copestake objected, Jase said "Well they all look the same when they're not coloured in."

You might be, but I'm not! There might however, be a few G&Ts waiting for me after work.

I did not think og uk did og15s, that would be a no no and feck off.

Thankfully this might be talking me out of this idea.

Not any more. OG 15s are a separate company and have been for about 20 years. But they were the same company when I was buying them in the 1990s.

It's occurred to me that their packaging policy MAY have changed, as my information is about 20 years out of date!

Still in packs of 50 mixed for OG15s. pahhhh. Saved from myself at last, unless I do it in 28mm...

AB are really on a class of their own. Do MiniFigs not tickle you?

Well that's an improvement, as it used to be packs of 100 (or 30 cavalry). In some ranges the command were packed separately. The OG Russian Cuirassiers and Hussars I'm re-basing at the moment don't have any command figures, as Jase only wanted 30 of each and didn't want to fork out for another 30 command figures of each type - most of which would then be redundant. The SYW packs had the command included though.
