Title: Trent miniatures command sets ?
Post by: Romark on March 25, 2013, 08:20:03 PM: Hi,I was wondering if the membership had any info on the availability of command packs for the above range.I am specifically trying to find out if the Highland Fencibles figures have a command set available,sometimes it's a little difficult to find out what is and isn't available in this range.Failing the availability of a specific set from Trent can anyone suggest alternative figs,they are 28mm by the way,that I could use that would be suitable replacements,thanks in advance.

Trent have an annoying habit of not getting a full command set out for their figures. I ended up having to get Elite ensigns to fill out my Austrian units because all they did was officers.....grrrr

When I tackled the chap from Trent about it a few Salutes back, he was most sheepish about it.....but still no command!

He always said he had made more figures than were cast up, Duncan's approach was bordering on chaotic it seemed from the outside. I think the Highland figs were the last he made for him! Don't suppose that helps much but tackle Duncan he will know more.

Didn't look closely to see what they had mind.
