I would like a pack of franco-prussian war French and German personalities (Napoleon III, Wilhelm, Moltke, Mac-Mahon, Bazaine, etc...and engineers, and French for the war of 1859.
Oh yes, it's a very good idea ;)
Sounds good, I've add those to the list.
While we are talking FPW, some firing line (including kneeling and prone) would be nice.

I think I've got these on the list already, but I'll pop another vote next to them!
Greetings
You can add another vote to the FPW firing/skirmish line - anything capable of acting as the skirmishers of the French and German line battalions - French Imperial and Prussian line being the priorities.
Regards
Edward
Another vote for FPW personalities. I have so many generals it would be nice to have someone I can recognise occasionally! We also have the advantage of photos or very good engravings for most of them.

As a postscript to my last on FPW personalities, perhaps you could look at the idea of producing personality packs for both sides which contained aides, guards etc from the other sets, as well as the personality figures. A general ain't no use without someone to hold his champagne glass and wave his flag for him! Just a thought.

I know it is another company but Wargame South used to do a range of 10mm FPW. Their command pack had generals in chapeaux, ADC's and a Napoleon III. They fitted in well with Dave's FPW range.
I do not remember them doing one for the Confederation however, so if Dave can do a pack of sullen South German Princes at Sedan while Bismarck hands round the cigars to Moltke and the King then I for one will buy a pack!
It is one thing the 10mm scale can show well - command base vignettes without them taking up half the table yet being recognisable
More poses, more personalities! Just about to get started. Am planning big!
French guard in bearskin!!
Dismouted dragoons and hussars (french/prussian)
I agree with setterjaune, and I add pontoonbridge crew to my list of wishes.
About 18 months ago Dave did some French Imperial Guard in Bearskins for my 1859 army
The figures are the same as the FPW French
How about some Prussian siege artillery. I have an illustration from a book published in about 1875 with a Krupp 1000ld siege gun plus a lot of the lighter stuff. While you at it, could we have some French fortress guns?????
While were at it how about some engineers/pioneers for both sides. And could we include the mighty Austro Hungarian Army 1859 - 1866 to all of the above were relevant.
We also need some supply wagons, ambulance and what about a suitable train.
I've put those on the list.

Yep, I've just checked with Dave, and we've got those already moulded, they've just never made it into the catalogue. I'll get them added as soon as I get chance.
From the information I have the Imperial Guard did not ware the Bearskin in the field
A mere formality. The Imperial Guard should always dress well for their enemy, at least in wargames if not for real!
It was sell known in the 19th Century that victory goes to the best hats. If they had kept the bearskin, victory would have been assured.
The dismounted cavalry, and personalities (I see that carriage with Napoleon III in it as he goes to see Bismark.) The aides de camp and various household items such as a huge wagon for Napoleon's suite that Zola described. The baloon baskets that will allow scenarios of uhlans chasing escaping baloons! This is a wonderful line that can only get better. I have several photos at my RepiqueRules Yahoo! site, and some here might find the information about the Zouave rules at www.repiquerules.com of interest. Zouave also covers the Maximilian period, as well as the ACW.
Hi, I will put in a vote for the High Command both French and Prussian/German states but also for a 19th Century Civilian pack. Say Ladies and Gentlemen, standing and seated, village folk, city folk etc stuff you can use to spice up the terrain with for towns, farms, railways, canals etc.
I'll put those down, various civilians seem to be a common request.
I think "personalities" would be very hard to discern in this scale, but I certainly would support additional leader poses being released for all of the armies!

We've got: PPW17 - Krupp 15cm siege gun. And FPW30 - Fortress gun with line crew.

It would be good to have a figure for the french that is carring the Fanion for the 1st and 3rd Battalions of each Regiment. As there are twice as many needed as Standard Bearers I was suprised to find that there are non in any of the 10mm Ranges or in the other manufactures either - Dave you could corner the market. This comment is also true for the French Napoleonic Range.
I'm sad again , no one like my Porte-Fanion idea for the Franco-Prussian and Napleonic Wars. I think it would make the Battalion and Regiments loot not only correct but also quite special.
I agree with you privateer, I play at battalion level and port-fanions are a must.
I don't know much about fanions - I mean, I know they were some sort of flag that are somehow unlike "colours" but what exactly were they and where and when were they used? If it matters(it probably does) I am most likely to use this for FPW.
I'm struggling to find any pics other than with flags attached to the bayonet?
1811 Regulation
One colour/eagle per regiment, carried by 1st battalion. The other battalions have plain fanions (2d white, 3d red, 4th blue, 5th green, 6th yellow, 7th violet, 8th sky blue). Fanions were carried on a spear.
I don't know about FPW but may be something similar.

This is what they look like, can't find a line regiment one but they were the same
Greetings
Whenever I've thought about this I've decided it's better handled by conversion of an infantryman (not that I've tried this yet). Battalion and company fanions seem to have been of different sizes.

Edward
Hi,
a few years ago I bought some FP packs, but onestly I didn't like them: too gnomish looking pose. I know now that some of your 19th century range were re-modelled (especially the 1870 Prussian). Is the same for the 1870 French? And what about for the othere ranges? Planned or already done?
Thanks, Alex.
The French, Prussians, Wurttemburgers, Bavarians, Hanoverians and half of the Austrians (cavalry, command, artillery, greatcoat) are all new sculpts.
Many thanks for your answer! A really good work! :)
While I'm thinking about the items I will order.. where can I find some photos of the new sculpts?
Alex.
There are a couple of pics of the FPW here: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=965.0 (http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=965.0)
Hello, I bought the brunswickers for the FPW and I am very pleased with it. Brunswick also had a battery of artillery. Do you plan to do it someday?
There's no plans for it, the Brunswickers themselves were a request from another customer. I'll make a note of the request though and see if we get any more interest.
Hi LM,
I am the guy who requested the Brunswickers, and like you I really like the result. But I too needed the batteries. As in my scale the battery is only one gun I thought I could get by with a minimalist conversion. I crewed a 6pdr with three officer figures - one as cast, and two with the sword cut off. One of these I placed close enough to the wheel to look as if he was adjusting the alignment, the other I gave a rammer sliced off an old Prussian gunner. Looks reasonable and does the job.
Hope this helps,
Mollinary
Well, yes, I will give it a try, thank you!
Various firing, firing kneeling, prone, running with musket at the trail -- for both Prussian and French line. Great for those figures in the firing line and (especially prone) as status markers.
Casualties would also be good.
Yes!
Added!
Just in case.
You can add my vote for these Leon.
Me too, plus similar for Non-Prussian forves for 1866

All added!

Why so you do, sorry.
Hello,
Thanks again for the FPW personalities, it could continue with new packs including Mc-Mahon, Canrobert and Leboeuf for the french, Steinmetz, Frederic-Charles and Frederic-William for the Prussian. Why not personalities for Italians and Austrians, like Victor Emmanuel II, Garibaldi, Franz Josef I and Benedek for 1859 and 1866.
I think for the time being that will be all.
