Re: Pick your Prussian Landwehr bonus figures!

We are open to suggestions here.

Re: Pick your Prussian Landwehr bonus figures!

I thought that Hat were going to select Sapper and the NCO, it looks like they have gone for the Medic instead of the NCO leaving the NCO to the poll, you could put a good case for any of the 8 choices, but I would have thought the NCO would be essential he is my 1st pick, as for the Medic I hope he has a sword could use him as an officer then.

voted for these
1st 8) NCO
2nd 2) Private with blanket roll over shoulder and Axe

and the rest in order of preference
3rd 3) officer with short jacket
4th 6) Aide de camp
5th 5) Private with musket up
6th 4) Private standing like this
7th 1) Private charging with pike
8th 7) General/Marshal

Re: Pick your Prussian Landwehr bonus figures!

Would figure 1 (private charging) be wielding a pike?

Regards,
Andrew

Re: Pick your Prussian Landwehr bonus figures!

Yes.

Re: Pick your Prussian Landwehr bonus figures!

Interesting on the comments on the pike carrying figure
I'm a wargamer - so if I needed pike carrying figures it's simple to chop off the musket and add a wire "pike"
[I do the same thing to generate standard bearers]
Personally the ADC & Generals are more use due to their distinctive hats [no pun intended]
As for the poor old nco - the marginal differences in uniform does not outweigh the benefits of the bicorne

What I do find surprising is that the old strelets, italieri [sp] and I think waterloo1815 sets of Generals seem to sell out really fast and yet very few folk seem to make them or bring them back into production
I guess it's all mathematics - how many boxes of generals would I need ... probably no more than 10 - I use them as mounted colonels mainly - remember I'm a gamer so strict accuracy is not always required - whereas line troopers I guess folk buy more

We shall have to wait and see how the poll & set turns out

Re: Pick your Prussian Landwehr bonus figures!

Hi

For me I vote for :

1/ NCO (8)
2/ Aide de camp (with horse pleased) (6)

3/ officer (3)
4/ private (4)
5/ private (2)

6/ private (5)
7/ general (7)
8/ private with pike

Thank you

Pierre

ADC
General (but not Blucher - a more generic general please)

That's my vote. I do not need anothe random landwehr infantryman. I need lots of landwehr for wargames units, so one or two odd extra poses add nothing. But generals and aides can lead many a battalion, and can be head swapped onto the e siting Prussian officers

Thanks for asking

Re: Pick your Prussian Landwehr bonus figures!

Well, there's already 48 privates in each box and I already have 3 Bluchers and a Gniesenau so my choices in order of preference are:

1. Officer in short jacket.
2. ADC.
3. Sapper.
4. Medic.

Re: Pick your Prussian Landwehr bonus figures!

I am new to the forum but am interested in Prussian Napoleonic figures.

I would like to see a General and an ADC.

As a warmer having extra officers never goes amiss.

Re: Pick your Prussian Landwehr bonus figures!

Dear Hat and Community,

I've accomplished my duty by acquiring four sets (two marching and two action. I hope to have been the one that triggered the process of approval and production of the set.
Best regards to you all.
