Hello Lads

I just bought some Foundry Napoleonics for a small 1812 project. I've also just seen the Offensive 'Follow the Drum' line of Peninsular War figures online - Wow! So I'm wondering will any or all of these lines work well together size and animation wise in the same army? Not seen any of these figures in the flesh so far.

Thank You Willie! That's good news. I was hoping to pick up a Victrix gun and crew (they sell single frames quite cheap).

I incidently posted this review of their artillery (which also includes a comparison with Foundry and Victrix, including a comparison shot).

Since size, style and animation on their infantry is similar, this should help you, too!

Cheers,

Burkhard

What about Front Rank? Would they mix well with Foundry and or Offensive?
