Its a simple request, really it is...<BR/><BR/>However, as the "voice of reason" (and since I probably won't get any), there are a few minor challenges that I see:<BR/><BR/>I will assume (always dangerous) that the one figure in the first picture and at least 4 in the second are meant to be officers or standard bearers; where are the sashes? Easy enough to add with green stuff, certainly, but why? These won't be inexpensive figures so such an omission should be addressed. Also, one would hope for drummers and sergeants as well, although the pikemen could be used for sergeants with a halberd. Also, I suppose you could use the officers sans sash for sergeants, although their appearance is a little "rich" for rankers.<BR/><BR/>Overall, the start to one of the best ranges I can remember seeing, at least a 9.8 on a scale of 10.<BR/><BR/>BillSir William the Agedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15503300059802446520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980135127858355520.post-88625678905112275522009-03-24T06:59:00.000-07:002009-03-24T06:59:00.000-07:00'Whimper'!!!!Excellent will be ordering as soon as...'Whimper'!!!!Excellent will be ordering as soon as you can on the website.
