Three new releases
Orion have surprised us with three new figure sets, all of which are starting to appear at retailers. The details are:
- 72071 - Finnish Tank Crew WW2
- 72072 - USMC in Vietnam (Late War)
- 72073 - Spanish Republican Pilots
We are assuming the Spanish set is for the civil war, but will know more when we see the figures. We expect to post images of the recent Strelets releases over the next few days. |

The British are coming!
HaT have said that their latest production batch is currently being shipped from the factory, and this includes one new set. That set is American War of Independence British Infantry (8343), so hopefully we should start to see this appearing at retailers in the next few days. |

Six new Strelets sets are on the way
Strelets have said that six new figure sets are currently beginning distribution, which means they will start appearing at retailers over the next week or so. From various dealer listings it seems the six sets cover the War of the Spanish Succession, Napoleonic and World War II eras. For the War of the Spanish Succession, these two sets have been added:
- 265 - Dutch Infantry 1701-1714 Firing Line
- 269 - Holy Roman Empire Grenadiers 1701-1714
Moving forward by a hundred years, and we have two new sets of Napoleonics:
- 294 - British Light Infantry on the March
- 295 - British Light Infantry in Attack
Finally we have two sets for World War II:
- M162 - Early WWII Infantry in Defence
- M163 - IJA Infantry in Melee
From the box art it is evident that set M162 refers to US infantry. |

New Strelets on the way
Dealers have started listing several new Strelets sets as expected for release in the fairly near future. One, Dutch Infantry Firing Line for the War of Spanish Succession (265), had previously been announced, but four more are new announcements, and they are:
- 294 - British Light Infantry on the March
- 295 - British Light Infantry in Attack
- M162 - Early WWII Infantry in Defence
- M163 - IJA Infantry in Melee
The two British sets are Napoleonic, and it seems fairly certain that the third is of US troops, while the fourth is also for WWII. The expectation is that these sets will actually appear over the next few weeks. |

Hat return to an old subject.
Many years ago HaT published some masters of Napoleonic Russian infantry, but like many such masters, no set was ever made. Now it seems the project is back on as they have assigned a catalogue number (8350) and are discussing finer details. |
