Coming this month

Napoleonic Russians!
March is a bumper month for collectors of Napoleonic figures… No less than 14 different ones! After several years of just French and British Napoleonics K&C thought they would cast their creative net a wee bit wider. As you might imagine with Napoleonics the choice of other countries armies to do is both wide and varied. Eventually however K&C settled on the Russian Army circa 1812 and focused on the men of the Guards Division specifically the famous “Preobrajenski Regiment”.

This first release features no less than 11 infantry figures, 1 superb mounted officer and an action-packed artillery set plus an individual artillery officer; all of them from the 5th Army Corps Division of The Guard.

From Russia at the time of Napoleon to the Western Front in 1914… The latest First World War releases.

ALL’S NOT QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT

German Armoured Car
Although the motorcar was still in its infancy it was not long before the Armies of both sides recognized its military potential. Here is our second WWI vehicle — armour-plated and mounting a Maxim’08 machine gun in a rotating top turret our early-war BUSSING-EBERHARDT armoured car comes with a standing vehicle commander.


From vehicular horse power to genuine horse power… Five German “Uhlans” in action at the gallop!

    
    
 

Special Note: “Uhlans” or “Ulans” were originally Polish light cavalry armed with a lance. The concept was adopted by first the French (under Napoleon) and then the Prussians and Austrians. By 1914 Germany had no less than 26 regiments of “Uhlans” ready for service.

Availability: Mid March

BLITZKRIEG PANZER IV
A great alternative version to K&C Afrika Korps version: 5 completely new tank crew figures plus a reconfigured vehicle itself. This model is ideal for the “Fall of France” or the “BARBAROSSA” attack on the Soviet Union in July 1941.

Soldiers and Armies

1. You are not Superman.
2. Professionals' are predictable, but the world is full of amateurs.
3. No combat ready unit has passed inspection.
4. No inspection ready unit has ever passed combat.
5. The side with the fanciest uniforms loses.
6. Murphy was a grunt.
   

Battle

1. If you are short everything except enemy, you're in combat.
2. When both sides are convinced they are about to lose, they're both right.

Planning

1. The important things are simple.
2. The simple things are very hard.
3. No plan survives the first contact intact. 4. Perfect plans aren't.
