Imperial Enterprises
25mm Marlborough

Figures

by Ken Bunger

Formed by longtime wargamer Bob Hagerty, Imperialist Enterprises' goal is to produce 25mm figures for the War of the Spanish Succession which are compatible with the existing ranges of Wargames Foundry and Old Glory. His first releases are compatible in size and generally in quality to those ranges, measuring 25M Barrett Measure. The anatomy of the standing foot figures is a little better then their competitors.

The detail on the figures is excellent. The standing figures have separate muskets (a little thin) which can lend some variety to the figures. The accuracy of the dress is excellent. I particularly like the historical posing of the figures which certainly gives a great flavor to this range.

A full range of cavalry and about 40 infantry that should be available by Historicon. The prices, as of February 1995, were $.85 to $1.00 for foot and $1.80 to $2.00 for cavalry (including horse). Call or write Robert Hagerty, 227 N.2nd Street, Apt G, Elkhart, IN 46516. Phone (4-10pm central) 219-293-4398. A SAE will bring you a current listing. I highly recommend this range.

* The Courier uses the Tobey Barrett Measurement [BM] System to simplify comparison of figure sizes. The number is the height in millimeters from the bottom of the figure's foot (top of base) to its eyes. The letter refers to the "heft" of the figure: L=light, M=medium, and H=heavy. Thus, Hs will fit in with other Hs and some Ms, but not Ls.
