Actually getting the figures sculpted is an entirely different matter though. So patience is the order of the day with regard to any march attack poses.Der Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-33442211683560251272007-09-13T23:11:00.000-05:002007-09-13T23:11:00.000-05:00And yet another question from the Duchy of Alzheim...And yet another question from the Duchy of Alzheim, are you considering "attack march" poses?<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>Greg HorneBloggeratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501347647235993401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-91589200180163667292007-09-12T04:00:00.000-05:002007-09-12T04:00:00.000-05:00So Jim, are you not going to reveal who the sculpt...So Jim, are you not going to reveal who the sculptor is? :-)<BR/><BR/>FrankFrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06374706097599953143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-12806451608538579482007-09-11T14:36:00.000-05:002007-09-11T14:36:00.000-05:00Regarding Der Potsdamers, I have been having some ...Regarding Der Potsdamers, I have been having some venting problems with the corners of the tricorn, so some of the figures come out of the mold looking like the ends of the tricorn have been shot away. So while I don't mind having some of these in my own units, I don't want to offer them for sale until the molds get fixed and a proper casting comes out of the mold. And believe me, I am eager to offer the figures to the public.<BR/><BR/>The other thing is that these figures are taller (around 32mm to 34mm) than the "normal" 28mm figures which are usually closer to 30mm to 32mm in some cases. That might be a problem for you if you have a lot of Foundry or Front Rank figures etc. They are designed to fit with Staddens, Surens an Elite figures. Elite seem to be quite a bit larger than advertised, I am happy to say, as this provides more figures that I can use with my own figures.<BR/><BR/>I hope to eventually have Austrians so that potential buyers can paint up the other side as well. For that, I am at the mercy of my sculptor and I'll just have to be patient.<BR/><BR/>Iowa Grognard: have you considered travelling to the Chicago area on October 13th and playing in our Big Battalion Old School Wargamers game? It would be a great way for you to see BAR up close and to give the rules a try in the perfect setting.Der Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-43644983368617137542007-09-11T10:29:00.000-05:002007-09-11T10:29:00.000-05:00Years ago we once played on two 12ftx 6ft tables w...Years ago we once played on two 12ftx 6ft tables with a gap between. Effectively it was 12ft square. Odd as it sounds we played length wise rather than across as somehow it was easier to appreciate the two tables together. The gap separated the armies down the middle as they deployed and it remained one large battle rather than two separate contests.<BR/><BR/>Yours,<BR/>Guyguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02346804356499461777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-20612815187591331382007-09-11T09:22:00.000-05:002007-09-11T09:22:00.000-05:00I love your Potsdam Figures, when will they be for...I love your Potsdam Figures, when will they be for sale?
