Strangely neither these, or the upcoming earlier French infantry include an "A" in the MAC format. Maybe the "As" don't sell as well. Or are more complicated to make?

If Hat for some obscure reason want to avoid Action figures I seriously doubt it will be a big hit, especially for Napoleonic infantry regiment.
It is normal not to have action figures on a tank riders set for example, but for fighting infantry it doesn't make sense, I bet very few could be interested by such set.
Being a wargamer I will buy this set only with another set of action figures, without action figures I don't have any use for this set and will not buy, but maybe Hat don't want my money, anyway, plenty of others manufacturers will be satisfied with my cash.
Doesn't really matter to me that no A set has been announced yet. I probably wouldn't buy it anyway.
As a wargamer I prefer my battalions of infantry marching - after all it was what most of them did most of the time. It's easier to create units on the base sizes I use and it creates a good visual representation.
Ok so you're not a wargamer and this set is intended for you, because a wargamer play only the battle, not the ininteresting marching columns quietly going to the battlefield because there's no game with it, except for the long and hard retreat of Russia, which can be considered as a long battle with cossacks. But here too I need firing figures.
I will not change Hat decision if they don't want action figures, I'm just reacting and will do without such set.
By the way, Hat is the only manufacturer able to spoil a whole set by the quality of plastic or the choices of poses when they release something that can interest you, I'm just saying. It never happened to me before with any other brand.
