I went the Great War way in part becuase of cost (Foundry are 20% dearer) and in part because I really enjoyed working on the Great War WWI range a couple of years back. Great War are definately larger - they are a 28mm figure whereas the Foundry range (which are nearly 30 yaers old now) are 25mm. I think as separate units they will be fine, but might not mix wiin a unit. The Russian NCOs dressing the line is a great little pack - I finished it last night and will try to post something tonight.Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-25131719677799303742016-02-25T03:59:32.200+13:002016-02-25T03:59:32.200+13:00Great work on the Russians!

How do the Great Wars Russians match up against Foundry's Crimean War range? Are they comparable?

The Napoleonics will be a little more "occasional" - largely because I still have 700 Crimeans to be completed before October and budget has a large part to play. GNW is unlikley this year, but it is in the mix for next year.Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-70907980700270462242016-02-24T19:06:25.648+13:002016-02-24T19:06:25.648+13:00A good match for the church I think.
