Clib,

You might want to consider Russian pikemen kneeling with pikes forward and pistols drawn for use in the firing. The 1708 regulations called for every other man in the front line to have a pike. I've seen a few pictures that depict them as kneeling with the rank behind them able to fire.

These look great!

Clib,

Any chance we can get some Swedish cavalry command figures sometime soon?

The Polish Foot Guards (who may or may not have been Polish) were dressed in Western clothing, like the rest of the Saxon army, and for all intents an purposes were part of the Saxon infantry. I don't know if any other Polish infantry fought in the field. At Klizsow, Warsaw, and Kalisch, it looks li...
