A set of 1/32 Napoleonic Hussars with French & Austrian heads would be fantastic!

And...Russian Line Infantry (kiwer shako - 1808?/1815) and Command sets. Swedish infantry Command Set. Medical services - surgeons, assistants and stretcher bearers - could a generic set represent most of the combattant nations? Cantinieres/vivandieres for the French army, and their equivalents for the other major nations. Sappers and engineers for the French Army, and their equivalents on the other side - yes, some sets thankfully include a sapper/pioneer in a marching or standing pose, but some of these fellows in various working poses would be great. Injured and dead horses, plus fallen riders...that's a big ask I know, as the choice includes hussars, chasseurs, grenadiers a cheval, light dragoons, heavy dragoons, cuirassiers, carabiniers and various types of lancers...plus Cossacks and Mamelukes.
Thanks again for asking for suggestions.
Cheers, Rob.

These figures/sets would also be great additions to the range for the Napoleonic era...sorry for any repeats from my previous postings...
Austrian hussars, including command figures Austrian uhlans, including command figures Russian hussars, including command figures French hussars, including elite company figures and command figures Prussian cuirassiers (post 1806), including command figures French carabiniers (heavy cavalry) with breastplates and helmets, including command figures Prussian artillery limbers and caissons Prussian Landwehr cavalry British artillery limbers and caissons Supply wagons for various nations Barbary pirates - the United States of America fought against the Barbary States between 1801 and 1805, and again in 1815...not part of the Napoleonic Wars, but concurrent with them...Sweden also fought against the Barbary States, starting in 1800, as did the Kingdom of Sicily. These figures could be useful in many other scenarios. Ottoman troops (infantry and cavalry, artillery?), for the conflicts against the French in Egypt and against the Russians (1787-1792 and 1806-1812).
Cheers, Rob

Some great ideas; I'm still waiting for Pommeranian Piccolo Players.

But yes Rob, you have certainly shown that there is still a vast array of potential sets for the Napoleonic period. For now though, if I was only allowed to pick just one potential set, I would happily settle for someone to make 1813-1815 French foot artillery!! The French cavalry is in dire need of sets for the post Bardin reforms too.

Back in the day, Minifigs made a set of the French Old Guard Band. All kinds of instruments, including Serpents and a "Jingle Johnnie".

I figure if I can get the Pommeranian Piccolo Players the rest will follow - also Bavarian Bassoonists, Vienese Violinists, Franconian Flutists... and assorted camp followers and barmen.

You can easily pick out Pommeranian Piccolo Players.... They are the ones riding tall in the saddle.

What I really think the hobby is missing is a USEFUL set of British infantry with Belgic shakos. The Italieri ones have half the set with a regiment with different shako, the Mars set have about half not very useful poses, the Call to Arms set have half the box light infantry, the HaT ones are only available for a limited time, the Airfix one is out of print, the Revell one is out of print and so on. There are several good options for French infantry from the same period, but none for british. The metals sets from Hagen and Kennington are good, but they are expensive as **** and the Hagen one require fiddly assembly.

HaT had British infantry with Belgic shakoes? It was a reissue of the Airfix set, so guess they do not have the rights anymore.

The metals sets from Hagen and Kennington are good, but they are expensive as **** and the Hagen one require fiddly assembly. Fully agree. A set based on the British Peninsular infantry big box set but with Belgic shako's would do me. I would personally drop one of the advancing poses to allow either another kneeling pose or more of those already provided. Or if a new set is not feasable, adding more spare belgic shako heads to the Peninsular set sprues, so that all the figures can be converted rather than just the current 24, would be very helpful. Or another way of portraying the Belgic British line would be using the popular HaT MAC system. I would like to see 1813-1815 French done this way too. Ok so the marching set exists but we need action & command still.

I would still love the set redone in Belgian shakos I would gladly paint the remaining boxes I have in queue as Peninsular or Portuguese or KGL.

Here's another request for a Command Set...this time it's to complement the Netherlands' Militia and Belgian Infantry (8096). It would be great to have such a Command Set to help 'lead' the troops available from set no. 8096. So, some mounted officers, officers on foot, drummers and fifers and hornists, NCOs and flag bearers, and...?
Thanks heaps to everyone at HaT Industrie.
Cheers, Rob - Australia

The forum will be read only while we undergo some changes and until the next set design is updated.
