Falcon

15mm Napoleonics for Egypt

review by Jim Birdseye

Falcon Miniatures has just released a new series of 15mm Napoleonics representing Napoleon's belated campaign in Egypt. The French figures are in the late Republican uniforms with the helmet and coatee. The Marmeluke cavalry have anatomically correct but rather unanimated horses. The mounted figures are well detailed and the facial expressions are certainly fierce. The Bedouin cavalry figure will work for a wide range of periods as will the fellahin (native) spearman. These infantry are well animated figures with excellent detail and proportions. The catalog that accompanied the figures indicates that there are also Turkish foot available. I was pleased to see these figures reach the market; I've been trying to put together a Turkish army to fight my Russians and British armies for some time. I believe that I can recommend these figures even with the unexciting horses. The cost for 24 figures of foot is $6.00, mounted figures come eight to the pack for $5.00. Guns and otheraccessories vary. The figures can be ordered from Falcon Miniatures at P.O. Box 444, Medford, MA 02155.
