Wow, nice! May need those this summer!

Would these be compatible with the Brigade Games British sailors sculpted by Paul Hicks by any chance ?

I have always been tempted by those packs

I think not. I haven't seen these figures in the flesh, but have looked at the pack pictures several times and decided I really don't like the sculpting style. The sailors look like orang-utans in stripey shirts - all bandy legs and hunched postures... Shame 

Also, being Napoleonic, this is properly an 'Age of Big Battalions' topic, so I'm shifting it across...

I have all of these figures. The Marines are very large in comparison to standard foundry figures. They are nicely sculpted, with the caveat that you probably need to keep them in separate units rather than mixing them with the brigade game stuff, mostly because of the size of the rifles. I tend to be more of stickler about this sort of thing than other people, however, so they might work fine for you.

By the way, I have the whole set very nicely painted if anyone is interested in buying them. I'm in United States...

I really like these figures!

Shame that the landing party has 2 marine officers and no naval officer.

And still no RM gun crews....
