Yes! And the second young woman is there, and she is lovely. :love: Actually the figure of the first young woman looks much better from this angle than the picture we saw before too.

Honestly, these two Ladies make the set worthwhile but I think the Napoleon figure is also fine, I probably don't have enough Napoleons. And the Guard Chasseur figures are terrific; there's some comment on the Strelets forum about them having a mix of two different orders of dress but that doesn't bother me at all. My one comment would be that the smoking and drinking figures won't be part of the duty squadron serving as the emperors personal body guard today. :xd:

The horses heads look a bit small and mulish, but for some reason issues with horses and horse furniture don't worry me too much if the cavalrymen sitting on them are nice figures.

Austrian Uhlans and civilians. I think we do not need more priest or monks (there are already to much...)

According to PSR, the Strelets sets lately have hit stores very shortly after being announced.

Well - I stop writing them to stop producing cavalrymen with infantry flags. Everytime one figure for the trashcan... :mad:

Certainly going to have to update my WSS Austrian & Bavarian Cavalry as they are a bit of a fudge from Streletsa GNW figures and don't have enough helments

best news ever, if strelets is considering an upgrade of its first sets.
the strelets roman sets are between the ugly and the awful, and their Bonaparte campaign of egypt sets (i've painted them all) are "cartoonesque": full of life, nice poses, but the sculpting....

A release of a dozen of such figures with equally beautiful & accurate horses would solve several problems for me.

I am once more wondering when there will be a new release from Strelets. They have announced so many new items.
