Available mid- to late-October
We are happy to announce that our first box of Plastic Napoleonics are ready for pre-order. The box contains 42 infantry figures in campaign clothing (half in Bardin regulation short-tailed 'habit-veste' and half in greatcoats, all in overalls), unit bases to allow you to build units easily and quickly, 2 flags and uniform guides, and 37 additional heads for converting (these include Pokalems, damaged shakos, etc.).

The figures in the box represent a 36-man battalion (4 Fusilier companies, 1 Grenadier company, 1 Voltigeur company) in the typical march-attack pose of the period, including command (1 officer, 1 standard bearer, 1 drummer) and an additional 6 Voltigeurs/Grenadiers skirmishing.

All the figures are in mid-grey, with the unit bases in sap-green plastic.

Price: ?15.00

Here's a picture of the base sprue which comes with the box. We will be selling these separately soon, and in four colours: green, brown, sand and gray. They will also be available off the sprue and packed individually in their particular sizes.

There will be three new metal codes for the French when the plastics come out, which include Imperial Guard commanders, and a Line Infantry Regimental command in greatcoats. We do make Regimental and Battalion commands for the French Infantry already (as well as NCO's), in case you're gaming at a different ratio.

You can easily convert the spherical pom-pons to the disc type by just squeezing them gently between flat-nosed pliers... it works, I tried it!
