Yea, I'll be getting the AWI figs also. I'll have to stop looking at the ACW stuff before a start it in another scale.

I think the Continentals are much better than the British. I would have preferred the British in the pose as well.

Well at the risk of heresy, you could probably paint the Continentals as British. Pity they have mixed in hunting coats, I was hoping these, with the addition of some greenstuff epaulets would be a cheap source of Portuguese infantry for the 1770s and 1780s. Might have to stick to the metal versions as 40% of the box is useless to me.

They do look very nice though.

YiiiiiHaw!.....
finally!
the usual Perry sequence would be running up - loading - firing, so I guess we can expect a sprue of three crews? with 3 guns and limbers in the box?

I really don't need more guns so will only buy two boxes!!!!! :D

I will, however, but quite a few limber sprues which, I foresee, will be a big seller...... :-*

I guess, there will be no horses in the box? They then will sell their known metal-teams seperatly without
limbers, as you can use the British teams for the Victrix Foot Artillery.

The text with the pic reads as though the arms can be used with the Brits, and therefore probably vice versa. Canny work Mr Perry.
