I would say "like drunken Russian soldiers!" ;-)

And that looks like a fieldkitchen indeed. :thumbup:

52, 56 and 60 figures respectively.
Quite a lot for ad diorama, at least for me. Hopefully I can find someone to share the content equally sometime.

And - once again - one totally wasted figure: a cavalryman with an infantry flag. Will they ever learn? :eh:

Another great looking WSS related figure.

Very nice civilians, most likely for the napoleonic era again. :yeah:

Merci Erich,
My bet is for some Prussian cuirassiers 1813-1814 to go with the civilians.

Cheers.

Er... although these officers are looking quite good, I'm highly irritated about the soldiers shown below. Why are they holding their muskets in different hands? If so, this set will include a lot of useless figures... :-(

I sent them an email about the 'cavalry flagman problem'. No answer, as usual. Not sure if it would make any difference if I send them an email regarding this issue. :-((

I think the cavalry flagman inclusion is mainly for commercial reasons. So I wouldn't spend too much time on it.

A previously not illustrated set of the upcoming release batch has now been revealed.
291 - M1916 37mm Gun with FFL Crew (8 guns & 32 figures per box)

I really hope that Strelets will release this 37mm M1916 infantry support gun with French WWI crew as well. ;-)

That actually looks like the type of "nag" they'd ride.

I know Italeri & Zvesda produce beautiful horse models but they're impossibly beautiful: troopers riding horses only a general would have.

A lot like the Italeri horse from the Nap. French staff box.

Again, nice, realistic sculpt. The problem might be how many of these idiosyncratic mounts you get in a box.
An entire regiment with every horse "laughing" & every other horse grazing would look daft.

Not to mention an entire squadron puffing away would look like a tobacco advertisement.....

Nice sculpted horses, but the head of the second one is to low. It passes the base and that isn't good. :eh:
