Most popular SYW infantry poses/appearance?

[Khurasan Miniatures]

For 28mm SYW figurines, what's the most popular pose -- is it marching shoulder arms?

In terms of appearance, I think people prefer the parade ground look don't they?  Or do they like field dress better, possibly with worn/patched uniforms?

I have been waiting on a manufacturer doing a 28mm range with this style of pose by RSM to me its a classic pose.

Don't manufacturers already make that pose?  Surprised to read differently.

I was thinking more leaning in though -- like this very evocative image.  However I suspect gamers might not like the somewhat tattered trousers.

Personnaly I prefer the campaign look , musket on shoulder or march attack ;o)

I prefer the advancing pose, with gun held pointing towards enemy.  To me the look of figures in march attack pose in a fire fight looks funny, just as the firing pose looks funny when troops are marching across a field or along a road.  The advancing pose looks good enough in either of these two situations.

I also like the uniform to look like something in between parade dress or campaign rags.  Something more like the beginning of a campaign.

They didn’t actually advance that way though, did they?

March attack. I think the popular trope for the period is parade ground formality and swags of lace. From a practical point of view they are easier to base for close order troops.

Not quite that pose.
That  campaign look could be quite unique for SYW if up to your usual standards I would buy.

Apparently they did. When Wolfe first introduced an on guard pose with fixed bayonets, the rank and file thought it made them look like farm laborers. So says the Osprey on Quebec 1759. One reason for the march attack was to keep troops from firing too soon during the advance. Often troops upon firing soon began firing at will and would not go forward.

I concur

For me I’d like to see a firing line with a mix of loading and firing poses, possibly some kneeling.  Also like March attack.

For European campaigns closer to full dress looks right for the period, bu5 also like to see some variations in equipment or how it’s carried.
