Pre-order came today, figures better in the flesh than photos. Lance what's the chances of a few casualties and wounded figures for F&I and the old west ranges.   Thanks THE CID.

Thanks gents, glad to hear you like them - Nick: hope yours have arrived   ;)

The CID - Casualties, I do intend to do some at some point for both ranges, but I keep being drawn away from them to attend to "the living", but I will get to them  :)

Nick: coming next? Not sure, I have a few things under way, but it'll be a few weeks before I'm ready to release more. Mounted versions of the cavalry probably won't be among the next batch, as I only have 2 done so far, including the one I put up on the website. More dismounted Apaches are likely, as are my first civilians and possibly more dismounted cavalry.  8)

Cheers,
Lance

Yep, seconded, can't wait for the next batch.

Mine arrived safe and sound and I love them.  :-*

Seriously excited about getting back into gaming the Indian Wars now. Been thinking over the last few days about building a stage depot.... ;D

Thanks gents,

When that stage station does come along it'll no doubt be a cracker  :D

So many great scenes in westerns occur at stage stations, from Stagecoach and She Wore a Yellow Ribon to one where I particularly like the attack on the stage station by Apaches as the basis for a nice game in the Sam Elliot film Conagher  8)

Not familiar with the Sam Elliot film, I'll go look for that one.

  The Depot at the start of  Geronimo (Wes Studi) got my attention and as you say Stagecoach and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon are worth revisiting. :)

Haven't heard of that one either Lance. A trip to Amazon might be in order. ;)

Look forward to seeing the stage coach station Nick.  :D

Chaps, not sure whether it was a made for TV movie, it's a Louis Lamour story with a good cast. It's fairly sentimental in bits but has some good action stuff, nicely filmed with a really good look.  8)

I like it lots  :)

I just watched Chato's Land.....again  ::)  Any chance of a renegade Charles Bronson figure? The real one, not the banged up nutter  ;)

You never know chaps  :)
I'll have to see if I have a copy of that film somewhere  ::)

Caliver Books will be carrying The Western Range packs at larger shows, as with our F&IW range.  8)
