review by Lance McKenzie
Enola Games (Naismith Design) P.O. Box 1900, Brooklyn, N.Y. 11201. Enola continues to expand their 15mm Napoleonic line by adding Prussians, Russians, and additional French all in the 1812 uniform. As is the case with all Naismith figures the new releases have a lot of detail and in some cases very creative animation. Of the figures sent for review the French artillery of the Guard and the Prussian line cadre are the best examples of a lively concept breaking traditional molds. The artillerymen are especially active with the crew working feverishly around the gun rather than the traditional static poses. The Russian infantry have standard poses and offer a wealth of detail. I was somewhat disappointed by the Prussian Landwehr figure which is somewhat unimaginative, but still better than most you will find on the market. More Reviews
