After a couple of false starts I hope that now Hat are dipping into the SYW we collectors and wargamers alike can be given a quality product. The Prussian Infantry is already covered and the Masters for their Austrian opponents look great. However, I feel that the Prussian Artillery masters fall short of what many would like to see. For me a crew of 4 Firing a cannon is only half the story and I feel that at least another 4 poses loading a gun should be provided plus a gun captain for the two pieces. Also if Hat produces a typical 4 piece cannon then I would suggest they take a look at the Imex AWI Artillery sets. Although the guns are under scale the detail is there and having the brackets to hold the gun in place on the carriage moulded onto the barrels gives a much better model.
I hope that the next set to see some masters would be Hungarian Hussars. For this to be done right the large sprue as used with the Napoleonic Swedish Cavalry would be ideal. 8 or 9ures leave room for a dedicated Officer and corresponding horse, a Musician (in the more German uniform) and the rest as troopers. Apart from the Officers horse, I would like to see at least 4 differently posed horse. A moving horse has 4 different gaits: walk, trot, canter and gallop. So come on Hat team give us some more variety.
Best regards,
Malcolm
