What we're working on... UPDATED DEC 2013!

[wargamesbob]

1. Napoleonics - Austrian Cavalry and artillery to do, then switching over to the British for a while.

Some later British Naps would be nice Leon. It would give those of us hoping to to do some War of 1812 a starting point

[Leon]

Do you plan to include Portugese in the British range? I think line inf, Cacadores and foot artillery figues are all that would be required to make this a cracking range. No one else does the Portugese as far as I can see.

Beyond the Wagram range, we've not really planned anything out.  The British will be just enough to cover the basics, and allow us to remove the old Peninsular range from the catalogue.  As for Portuguese, we do intend to eventually cover virtually everything for the period, so they should be getting done at some point!

Hi

Updated 'Working On' list:

Snafu

1. WW2 Odds and ends - More items for the French, plus a few bits and bobs.
2. VBCW - More foot, with some interesting types in the pipeline!

The stuff for the French wouldn"t happen to include any mortars would it? 

Cheers

Yeah I agree, a sadly lacking piece of kit, need a mortar and crew ASAP.

There's nothing that says "I want you dead!" better than a battery of 3 mortars firing at you.

[Leon]

I believe mortars were on the list, so yep!

[GrahamT]

Any news on the V.B.C.W. range?

Any news on the V.B.C.W. range?

Snafu's working on some more bits and bobs as we speak!  I'm hoping to have them at York I think.

[snafu]

Hi all.

sorry took so long to get on this one..

French mortars are top on the list and although wont be ready for York will follow shortly.

There has been some additions to the US WWII range, this is quite an old range and some of the earlier figs are in desperate need of redoing. These are complete and will be forwarded...

2 new rifle poses advancing and running.
30 cal figure advancing with 30cal shouldered.

Hope u likey ! 

[Steve J]

Hi Snafu

Very nice, like the French mortars and all the VBCW goodies. Will the Bobbies have any command figures eg Sgts with pistol or detectives (detectives could be recycled for civ auxiliaries). The civ auxiliaries could be used for multiple scenes - flat cap and British weapons - ICW and VBCW, with Russian weapons - Partisans , factory defenders and VBCW. Berets could come in there somewhere too  .

Now will the Jolly Good Chaps have a mounted arm with members of the hunt, (including master and hounds)  ?

Cheers

I'm liking all this VBCW talk 

Great to get some bobbies, I'm still using the ww1 Germans and a cunning paint job for mine.

Any AUX is good news. Pistols, LMG teams , petrol bombs and telephone chaps on my list.

Also some redoubtable ladies would be usefull.

[snafu]

Grumpy !!!

Initially the bobbies will have rifles with one armed with pistol for use as a sergeant.
The aux figures will be civ/ mil uniform with bonnets or caps. These can be used as police aux, civilians or scots !

A lot of the ideas are gleamed from the solway scource books. I figure that most people who are into this period will have read at least one of these and want to base figures around these ideas.

I have no plans for mounted chaps at the moment, these guys are very individual figures ideal for command rather than massed units, but il c how it goes.

I will be doing figs in berets for use as communists, but because of weapons ( ie pshk ) will also do additional figs for eastern partisans. I will place some greens pics up when ive got time.

It is my intention this year to add vastly to the AVBCW range, some ideas I have are ...

lots more civilians also for use in Sealion stuff.
gun crews
Vicars, characters for Anglian league forces.
Naval forces, sailors etc.
Armed troops for independent units ie, miners ( with miners hats ) etc.

feel free to add to this ...

Oho - top-notch 

Some schoolboys would be nice - like these:

The school boys would be great as would some Boy Scouts.
