At a press conference today, a representative of Caesar Miniatures announced a significant change of their future production line.
“We will not produce any WWII Germans any more”, the company’s spokesman said. According to him, there are already “tons of such figure sets” on the market, and, as he further explained, “we don’t see any sense in producing ever more and more of the same boring stuff. There are really more than enough WWII Germans available right now – who needs all this stuff?”
In the future, the spokesman said in addition, Caesar Miniatures will explore a completely new area in the world of 1/72nd scale miniatures: “We will focus our future efforts on one of the most seriously neglected topics in miniature war gaming. Actually, it is hard to understand why almost nobody has done this before. So Caesar Miniatures will start a whole range of figure sets for the Napoleonic era, hoping that this fascinating but totally underrated epoch will gain some appeal in the eyes of miniature collectors and war gamers.”
It was announced that the first batch of Napoleonic figures by Caesar will include 35 different sets of French Line Infantry, 25 sets of Infantry of the Guard, plus at least 20 different sets of French Cavalry.
