Re: What type of bonus figures do you want to see with the 7YW Austrian sets?

I would agree with Donald. A Grenze figure.

I would like to have a pioneer in an action pose, swinging his axe not just stood or marching.

Best regards,

Re: What type of bonus figures do you want to see with the 7YW Austrian sets?

I would like to see any or all of the following:

I. A mounted figure that I can use for a Brigadier General. (There are never enough of these available.)

II. An additional mounted figure for an ADC, as per the Grant rules. (Those old Airfix "Washington's Army" mounted Colonels can only do so much!)

III. A marching figure of a Hungarian Fusilier or a Grenzer at the ready, would be very welcome! I don't think that either one of them have ever been done in plastic at the 1/72nd scale! Both of them are worthy of having their own sets, but it would be nice to see a sample of what the future holds, if HaT continues to expand their offerings.

Thanks HaT for setting this up and seeking our input!

How about a Hungarian general (hopefully mounted)? I've seen several portraits of them wearing a rather unique uniform halfway between the standard coat of the time and a hussar pelisse:

A couple more images of this uniform:

The second portrait shows hussar breeches (probably red) and what seems to be a colpack at his side.

And those moustaches...

A fallen/falling/wounded figure.
