We've just finalised these, so thought everyone might be interested to see them!  We've tried to include as many of the requests as possible, let us know if you think there are any glaring omissions!

If you do Gatlings would the Aurger - coffee mill as well.

Looking good

[Leon]

Gatling Guns?

That could be easliy done, we've got the gun in the Zulu range already, so we'd only need the crews.  We'll probably hold on to that idea until the crews are all done, then we can see if the poses that have been done will suffice.

I wasn't planning on 10mm ACW but this is a mouth-watering list. I'll have to try and keep some of the Christmas bonus to one side for this 

[Blaker]

Looks like a good list. How long until the current range is discontinued?

We won't be discontinuing the current range, the new one will be a separate set of codes, so the two will happily coexist in the catalogue.  There's too many people who've bought into the current range to just pull it completely.

[wargamesbob]

How compatible will the new range be with the old. Will you be able to mix figures in the same unit or is there too much difference between them? Would it be possible to see a side by side pic of a pair of figures as an example?

[nikharwood]

Nice list - those civvies will definitely be useful too for all kinds of things...

[maciek]

NOTES â€" We'll probably keep using the current standing horse!

Thats OK, but please don't use "jumping" horses for mounted figures. And do compatible commands - to the trotting / galloping troopers please add similar posed commands.

We won't be discontinuing the current range

How compatible will the new range be with the old ?

Good question. Very good question.

[Dave T]

This list looks excelllent - I'm now looking forward to Easter time more than Christmas! 

And a big thanks to Pendraken for the way you've considered the ACW requests on the forum.  Not all companies are as attentative to their customers requests.

Regards, Dave T.

For once a good list of Zouaves, saves having to buy from other sources to make up the different uniforms.

This will now be added to my todo list for 2012.

I have a quibble about the ACW personalities. Grant and Sherman fought most of the war in the Western theatre; Lee and Stuart were in the Eastern theatre. It would be nice to have some other Union Eastern theatre commanders and some other Confederate Western theatre commanders. Also, before 1864 most flags in the West were quite different to the ANV battleflag, and even after 1863 the Western southern cross tended to be oblong with no border whilst the Eastern southern cross was more square with a white border.

The ones listed are still question marked, so we can change those if people would prefer others.  I don't know how many we'll do altogether though, as it's very easy to get carried away and request loads when most people only want 'X' and 'Y'.

I'll have a good look at the flags then as we get closer to the release dates, any handy flag links would be good?
