[Arthur]

Just uploaded on the Perry website's workbench section. In the latest Perry Mins newsletter, Alan Perry states that he also intends to do dismounted contingents for each continental cavalry regiment :

Very useful additions

1-piecers. Reduces my enthusiasm a little.

Fantastic news! I'd love to use some cavalry in M&T, so it's a must have!

1-piecers. Reduces my enthusiasm a little.

I wonder if that is the rider is a one piece or if the rider and horse? would make sense if it reduces the cost fo moulding being a one pice....interesting why though

Perry cavalry aren't usually one peice are they?

They can be and I think they are in this case.

I believe it announces the fact that they are 1-piecers on the site. The rider and horse are 1-piece and the rider has a choice of separate right arms.

Some of the 1-piecers are very nice. I have the Austrian and Russian Napo colonels sets. They are both sets of 1-piecers and are lovely. I have heard some complaints from other gamers that some of the other 1-piece sets have a skinny, scrunched look to them. The specific allegation was leveled at the Chasseurs-a-Cheval de la Garde.

It depends. Alan's been doing an increasing number of one-piece cavalry figures for his various Napoleonic ranges lately but the majority of Perry riders tend to be cast separately from their horses. I have some of the one-piece cavalry sets such as Ney and his staff officers and I haven't noticed any significant flatness in the figures, though some poses obviously have to allow for the limitations of the casting process and are therefore a little less 'three-dimensional' than two piece castings.

Thanks chaps 

The only cavalry I've got from them is samurai, Normans, camalry and Sikhs and they are all two part.

Not that I'm that bother as I alway paint when the rider has been stuck on anyway 

cheers
