Title: Perry Early British Napoleonic Greens
Post by: Arthur on May 17, 2015, 05:16:41 PM: Skirmishing light infantry and line infantry dollies for the Peninsula. The dollies with gaiters on the corks are 1800-1807 British infantry and will be suitable for Egypt, India and other early campaigns.

The figures in bearskins at the back are Danish and Dutch grenadiers, and Alan Perry confirmed he intends to do Napoleonic Portuguese at some point. Swedes are not on the cards for the time being but Alan says he does not rule them out altogether.

Sparrow, Front Rank has lots of spanish troops and guerrillas and although they are not the same as the perrys they are very nice though.

Post by: Sparrow on May 18, 2015, 05:28:52 AM: Hi Rumacara - yep, well aware of the Front Rank and "yes" they are very nice!

Sadly I started doing the Peninsular War with Foundry so it's a size thing. If starting out over again I'd use Front Rank but I am where I am, sadly. If Perry Miniatures did do Portuguese and Spanish it'd make my life a lot easier. (Offensive Miniatures do some very nice suitably sized Spanish infantry but, alas, no cavalry or artillery).

Post by: carlos marighela on May 18, 2015, 07:13:21 AM: Early British in gaiters? That really does open up the prospect of fighting the British Invasions of the River Plate, among other things. Pity they won't be plastic.

Post by: Oriol Barcelona on May 18, 2015, 07:28:05 AM: Great! And Portuguese too. And maybe Spanish? please :'(.

Post by: Arthur on May 18, 2015, 03:19:02 PM: If you can't wait, Brigade Games do some very nice Spanish infantry in bicorne, militia in top hat and some guerrillas. Being Paul Hicks sculpts, they're totally Perry-compatible.

Interesting. I was thinking about using the Hicks US troops vs Perry plastics for War of 1812.

Post by: Paul Hicks on May 18, 2015, 10:24:08 PM: I'm also working on some Brits for 1812 as well now.
Title: Re: Perry Early British Napoleonic Greens
Post by: Oriol Barcelona on May 19, 2015, 08:59:54 AM: Of course I know the Spanish of Mr. Hicks. I have all the guerrillas, the french dragoons on foot, the french artillery men, british sailors... And I love them. I'm planning to buy the spanish.

The thing is that with the perries there are more chances to get a plastic infantry box and for spanish armies this would be of great help.
