What with holidays and general work I havn´t made my pledges yet. However, I first have a question to Hat Admin: To calculate the price of the figures is it the cumulative number of boxes (in my case probably 3 Heavy Dragoons and 4 Light Dragoons so a total of 7 which would be at 10.50$ a box plus postage 5.06$ so a total of 78.56$ or are the 2 sets treated separately so 38.06$ for the Heavy Dragoons and a further 49.06$ for the Light Dragoons, with each set at 11$ and paying postage twice?) The difference if combined and only paying postage once on the 7 sets is 8.56$. Best regards, Malcolm The two sets are treated as one. So you would only be paying 7 sets plus 1 shipping.

I've a got a question, too. Does the listed shipping cost includes tracking? It depends on where you are and what type of shipping the forwarder chooses.

We still have movement 1/72 Nap. British Light and Heavy Dragoons Crowdfunding reached Stage 5 level with the 1/32 7YW Austrians Crowdfunding. I hope more people will consider pledging for the British Light and Heavy Dragoons especially as the Zulu and Prussian Landwehr Crowdfundings are now starting to be delivered, also looks like some people will use the British Light Dragoons for AWI and War of 1812. Now we have reached the half way stage I hope we can keep pushing on to stage 6 and beyond there is still time. Every Little Helps!

Two months down, and still only at Stage 5. Unless they haven't been updating, it is not looking good!

I can not understand why this croud funding project is not progreesing faster. When Hat released their Penninsular War British Infantry I got a renewed surge of excitement for the Napoleonic Wars. When this set was then expanded by the release of the excellent British Command, things were looking really good with the Heavy and Light Dragoons on the horizon. You can imagine how my enthusiasm was dashed when the product that hit the street was in 1/56th scale (28mm). I hoped that at least sales of these figures to the 28mm collectors would be high enough to warrant their rescaling to 24mm. The Napoleonic collectors seem to be asking for Russians and Austrians at this moment. I can not understand why the conflict in Spain should be overlooked when Hat have already released some excellent Spanish Infantry and Guerrillas and Emhar supply French, British, Spanish and Portugese Infantry. Personally speaking, I bought the Airfix Waterloo Farmhouse set not only for the building but mainly for the British Hussars and the Royal Horse Artillery. I have ordered enough Light Dragoons to not only cover their role but to also produce Mounted Rocketeers to go with the Hat set of British Rockets. I also have a set left over to convert to Tarleton´s British Legion for the American War of Independence. So all in all a very good cost effective set to have since it can be easily converted into three subjects. Now come on you Napoleonic Buffs, don´t let the chance pass to really round out the British Army for this mid-Napoleonic conflict, make Napoleon really regret his "Spanish Ulcer" and make these sets a reality.
Best regards,
Malcolm

I stopped procrastinating and placed my order. Hopefully everyone else will do the same and we will reach funding status soon

HaT has really opened up the Peninsular. British cavalry is one of the relatively few major troop times left unrepresentative,
These are also very adaptable figures, with many other uses.
Despite Wellington's frustrations, the British and KGL cavalry consistently out-performed the much vaunted arme blanche of France throughout the Peninsular. They deserve to be on our tables.

Hi,
I will buy 5 of each as soon as I get my salary (end of the month).

When I placed my order I also decided on five of each. At first I was considering only the Napoleonic aspect and looking to buy three Light Dragoons and two heavy dragoons. Afterwards I needed to have enough Light Dragoons to convert into Mounted Rocketeers to accompany the Hat Rocket set (pulled by the Airfix Limber) and also the Green uniformed British Legion for the AWI. Now with the other threads I have seen that with a simple head swop to one with a Busby these figures can also serve as British Hussars without the slung pelisse (probably quite common during the warm months in Spain). So all in all a very versatile set if it gets released in 1/72nd scale. I think part of the slow progress is due to the fact that in Napoleonic Armies there was a lot less Cavalry than Infantry. Consequently there is not such a bulk buying as would occur with the Infantry sets. Still hoping for this project to be brought to a successful conclusion.
Best regards,
Malcolm

This Croud Funding scheme seems to have group to a halt. I hope that Hat will continue since the Cavalry element is the most important part that is missing from my British army of this period. I like to mix and match figures from different manufacturers and when Hat first announced the forthcoming Dragoons I amassed plenty of Infantry and Artillery. Also rounding off this army could also help other sales of Hat products like the Spanish Infantry, Brunswick Infantry and Cavalry and the corresponding French. Come on Napoleonic buffs, don't let this opportunity pass.
Best regards,
Malcolm

This is great news. For a moment I thought that I was just one solitary voice asking for these sets. Now I can complete my Peninsula War British Army and even have a few mounted Rocketeers.
Best regards,
Malcolm

It is hard for someones to cary with such crowdfunding, but I am shure that britich cavalry for Spain is very need, and could sell well. I am more suprised, that is issued in bigger scale. I am thinking, with what infantry sets to cooperate?

I am thinking, with what infantry sets to cooperate? If you are talking about the 1/72nd scale figures to be released, then the other Hat sets that cover the British Army in this period are the following: Napoleonic British Infantry Command (8304), Penninsular War British Infantry (8186), British Light Infantry (8036), British Rocket Troops (8003). To complete the army with Highland Infantry, 95th Rifles, Horse and Foot Artillery and Hussars you will have to look at the collections from other manufacturers and decide if they match. Take a browse through the Plastic Soldier Review website. Best regards, Malcolm

Is it possible to relatively simply convert the heavies to Dutch/Belgian troopers?

When as You wrote, in 1/72 is full british army for Spain, ... except cavalry [well one hussar regiment maybe]. Strange and pity.

Stage 9, but I refuse to believe they'll actually materialize before I can order them from a retailer.

Crowdfunding? Why should we pay your costs? The figures are expensive enough.

I don't think you understand the concept of "crowdfunding" here, either that or you're not really serious about wanting the British cavalry or... you're living up to your nom de plume. One might ask the question is why should HaT go out on a limb risking their personal funds to manufacture a set that might or might not sell enough quantity to meet their expenses, much less make a profit? Yeah, I know that's the "fun" of running your own business but crowdfunding to me is a great way HaT reduces their risk enabling them to stay in business and continue producing those sets we all desire so much while getting us those sets. Personally, I want to start a campaign to crowdfund Pommeranian Piccolo Players at long last. Who's in?

Going further on your line of thought, why would they ever release anything and risk personal funds?
