@JTam as many have mentioned Perry makes zouaves for ACW.I do however think that it would be a really nice set for WGA to make if they made it French zouaves with optional weapons, since I belive ...

TL: DR – Nothing really changed in my eyes… So I read the scientific article and haven't read any of the news articles on the subject. The paper studied 1964 horses from the Late Roma...

I vote but my category never comes up! ECW! So much stuff to do on this topic. 

@JTam  Perry miniatures

@Corwen Broch rubicon has just released they stuff but what? More stuff from more companies - that's good for wargamers. 

@JTam  am.... but what's about "modern skirmish war games"? Such as based on Force on Force rules? Or "Team Yankee" from Battlefront? And lot more companies which make modern stuff from resin ...

@Doshu Tokeshi  Great information!  Thank You. I've educated myself on the RKKA, but the Soviet Navy is outside my wheelhouse.   The Russian Army sapogi were rubber soled.&nb...

@JTam I forgot about the striped undershirt the telniashka it was said if they stripped down to this shirt, they were fighting to the death!

I am still hopeful for some pistol arms... Since my use will likely be fantasy, being able to make Outriders from this set would be very helpful. 

@JTam the Soviet Navy is unique in wearing both blue and black on their uniforms. Their trousers and Peacoat (Bushlat) was black while their winter woolen jumper was blue. Summer cotton one was wh...

7.  Soldiers in body armor. The Soviets made the widest use of body armor for ground combat of all the major powers.   It's use seemed most common with sappers (combat engineers)...

I voted for SYW. Prussians, Austrians (Germans and Hungarians), French and British. Do a poll for which two opponents to do first and if it's British and French, possibly FIW.  But, if Vietna...

@JTam Perry Miniatures do

Tried to vote, but it said I had already voted. Which I had not. Wouldvote for the War of Spanish Succesion.    

@Yronimos Whateley I do like some of the 'hound' designs for armoured cars...Staghound, Wolfhound & Boarhound.

I'm definitely looking forward to unarmoured late Romans. These with some of the armoured ones would be a fantastic start to an army!

Pin this thread? @Hudson Adams  Is there a way for a mod to pin this thread or for it to be moved it its own section? It seems to be getting lost in the chatter.

Chicken and the egg dilemma when it comes to representation in various mediums, including tabletop wargaming.

If WGA does dable in (more?) cross-genre vintage tankettes, these seem like winners to me - most have a sort of "diesel-punk" sci-fi aesthetic that might blnd well with Death Fields in general, whi...

I would love a set that complements the existing Victrix standing Macedonian phalangites by showing them in action. A set of poses that allows for the front ranks of a sarissa phalanx in combat. Pr...

@david phillips  >do china with the earliest forms of gunpowder weapons That would still be medieval, probably the Song, around a thousand years after the Fall of Alexander. Not that I am...

Looking forward to the spashdown - and a major mixup with the existing biz :-)

Detachable armour is good, for I am not sure how widespread the use of metal barding was in the Americas, when it was practially restricted to the elite of the Gensdarmes in Europe. Three heads lo...

@Axel Schudak  "French or Italian style heads": What would those look like?  What differentiates them? 

@Will Mansell  Yes, Warlord Games makes Landsknechts. I was in on that campaign with 200 bucks for the plastic set when it was still Pro Gloria on Indiegogo. That campaign alas failed, and t...

Will get used in Kings of War (unit based fantasy games which included a variety of human style armies, )

@Brian Van De Walker - depends on how exact the match is, and the amount of 'close enough' fudging you're willing to accept:  with no other options available, I could (possibly) find something...

Oh, don't get me wrong - in spite of what I suspect to  be propaganda featuring what seem to be the Soviet state's idealized equivalent of pin-up models, I definitely believe the Soviet fighti...

Oh, I don't think I ever thought about the answer to what I'd like to see included in an Irish cavalry box. I'm not generally a customer for cavalry, so I'm trying to think of things that... Ar...

Cool beans

@Hudson Adams Definitely Earlier "Roman" stuff, ie army builder sets for Republican Romans, Carthaginians etc.

These look amazing. To risk sounding like a broken record, (because I've made the same comment in another thread) why not make this release an HMG and morter set. For the types of games these minie...

Instead of just HMGs, (which are great, please don't get me wrong) why not include morters in these boxes as well. For the size of game that is likely to be played with these figures, HMGs and mort...

@Yronimos Whateley I do not know the actual percentage of combat experienced female Soviet soldiers versus photo op propaganda but considering the various units and award winning individuals w...

Not an expert, but that's what I've been thinking too, @Steffen Seitter, and the few resources I've been able to find on the subject seem to agree:  not much in the way of armor for any of a n...

Another bright side of the 3D printed ones is that if you have the printer, filement, and time, you can always print replacements. I really ought to get around to learning how to use my 3D printer...

@JTam "The Bolt Action Firefight/Academy of Street fighting rules even has name generating tables.... which I find inordinately entertaining for some reason...." LOL, now that you mention it, tha...

If you produce one or two boxes of infantry I will not buy any until the chariots, chariot runners also appear because I hate partial ranges. So if you go ahead with the project but have  inf...

I have mwtal, hard injected plastic and 3D printed Roman artillery - scorpions, ballista, onagers, catapults etc. All are particularly usable on the wargames table. Since most of my games involve t...

Absolutely.  I for one would gladly buy kits with bits likethat just for the "surplus" Soviet weapons to arm modern insurgents or apocalypse survivors with, if nothing else!  I don't dou...

Wow, British, FOUR other WWI sets, AND yanks, AND a boxed set!   That's a LOT of WWI territory being covered, sounds fantastic!  I normally do almost exclusively fantasy/sci-fi gamin...

@H M I like the way your thoughts are going. Some basic bodies with "Sea People style" kilts could have heads and weapons to be used as basic level Peleset, Meshwesh, Teklesh, Egyptian Sailors or M...

@JTam Yes, Perry Minatures make very nice ones, plus options for metal specials if you want.

@Will Mansell  Thank You.  That was informative.

And for the inevitable "reeehhhhh they're just the same as conquistadors" - some differences:  Less to no 'slashed' clothing for your average soldier, mostly reserved to rich knights or comma...

@Yronimos Whateley  As mentioned above, a set of Soldiers (in this case female) in M43 tunics with alternate 3-cell magazine pouches and AK47s/AKMs bits can accurately depict Soviet troops in...

The Escape from Stalingrad Z game has kind of caught my fancy.  I like the concept.  I even like the fact it's a semi board game with miniatures.  (A table that even half way capture...

@JTam  Completely agree although making any renaissance sets is probably a passion project when you compare it to the sales of WW2 & Napoleonic sets ;)    I guess I just wanted...

I have to imagine most of those women never saw combat - a lot of these ladies were quite photogenic, and surely we're looking at morale-boosting propaganda!  (It would work on me, anyway! :) ...
