New reinforcements announced
On the boxes of the latest releases from Strelets there are a number of new sets listed, along with one change. To begin with, the following brand new sets are included (mostly Napoleonic):
- 200 - Highlanders Standing Order Arms
- 201 - British Infantry Standing Order Arms
- 209 - Austrian Grenadiers in Winter Dress on the March
- 211 - Prussian Line Infantry Standing Order Arms
- 212 - Russian Infantry on the March
- 214 - Russian Infantry in Overcoats on the March
- 217 - Russian Infantry Standing Order Arms
- 219 - Russian Infantry in Overcoats Standing Order Arms
- 222 - Pickett's Retreat
In addition, there is one change in title. Set 223, which was French Infantry in Overcoats at Ease, has now become Confederate Firing.
These largely match the teaser images Strelets have been putting on their forum recently, and they tell us that some but probably not all will be included in the next batch of releases before the end of the year. |

New anti-tank gun
First To Fight have revealed their next release, which is the Bofors 37mm anti-tank gun, as used during the invasions of 1939. They already make a model of this, but the set title speaks of 'lance support', and the crew figures are different to the earlier set, so we are guessing this might be a (lancer) cavalry crew with the earlier model. As releases are monthly, this is likely to be available in a relatively short period of time. |

New Tommy Atkins for Southern Africa
Strelets have announced work on a new set of British infantry for the Second Boer War. Entitled 'British Infantry 1899-1902', the set M133 would seem to be a replacement for their earlier set 038 covering the same subject, but judging by the posted masters the quality of the new set will be far superior. |
