The infantry have got the covered shako's, let us know what you need for Vapnartak and we'll bring it down.

Am I right in thinking that the infantry in greatcoat are the ones with the covered shakos?

I believe so, I had to go check the pics of the masters there!

In case I forget as well, Dave shortened the gaiters on the carabiniers in this thread: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=1588.0

We've left the scheduling for this range up to the designer and we've not received anything yet.  (I know he's currently working on the French cavalry.)

As soon as we have them, we'll put pics of the masters up, but I don't have any timescale unfortunately.

With the French infantry what's the minimum frontage per figure?  Just thinking through future base sizes.

Regards

Around 7.5mm per figure I'd think?  I think the picture in the news story on the Pendraken site is using a 40mm base?  Gandalf would be able to confirm.

I put them on 40mm x 20mm bases.  I didn't have any particular rule set in mind at the time, they just looked nice and worked well with six figures on a base in line and column.

Just for info, we've split the LMG's into two separate codes, one kneeling and one prone:

NVA/VC - http://www.pendraken.co.uk/Post-War-c20/Vietnam-NVAVC-sc138/
VC8   Riflemen, kneeling, firing, bush hat   Â£1.10
VC9   RPG gunner, kneeling, RPG-7, bush hat   Â£1.10
VC10   LMG, Vz 30, kneeling, bush hat   Â£1.10

No new Naps for February, we need to build up some more masters first.  The stuff in the January releases was pretty much everything we had at that point, with only the artillery crews left over.  We've just received the Cuirassiers and Dragoons today, but we'll not have time to mould them for Feb, so they'll be ready for the March releases, hopefully along with some other bits.

We spoke earlier in the week , i have a few idea's for the the figure loading the musket in the new Napoleonic range ,
1 make him into a colour sargeant with pole arm , over his right shoulder
2 make him into second batallion onwards standard bearer
3 make him into an enthusiastic sargeant waving a shako in his right hand and give him a musket in the left

as we could use the same figure forall three minor poses do all three .
