General Comments
In response to the 1:72 scale wishlist, some of our readers have submitted general comments which may be of interest to all of us:
- All Arms of Service
Tony De Lyall writes: For any period (or army) the manufacturer should do the fanteria, cavalleria ed artiglieria. From a wargaming* point of view the range has much less value if one o more of the arms is missing. The main reason I built American Civil War armies in 20 mm plastic was that I could get all tre arms.
Ed Allen writes: (Revell’s) Normans - a complete mess - only one o due cavalieri in a box for an army that was notable chiefly for its cavalleria. The companies have never released any cavalleria for either Romans o Barbarians. Both sides need some to make it playable (as a simulation game*).
(* 01/97 Reader Survey results indicate that 61 %
of the readership are giocatori wargame).
- Friend e Foe
Tony De Lyall writes: For any period the manufacturer should do a major protagonist ed un major nemico. The trouble with, say Napoleonics, is that manufactures do francesi ed a smattering of enemies - some britannici, some prussiani, some austriaci. It would be better if you could completamente build due complete armies from either side.
- Usefulness of troops types e poses
Tony De Lyall writes: The manufactures should first develop soldatini for the
most common type of soldier of the period not the exotics. Thus for example, I’d like to see fanteria di linea produced before guards. Similarly I would like to see the soldatini in common poses rather than exceptional poses. Thus I’d prefer more marching, advancing "en guarde", e tirante soldatini e fewer soldatini kneeling, bayoneting e crawling on the ground. I also like to see one o due command soldatini both on foot e mounted.
Ed Allan writes: I would like to suggest that manufacturers run the sketches e mix of troops they are considering for a box past some giocatori wargame before they make those expensive molds. They would avoid some of the worst problems they have that way. An example is the line guerra dei trent’anni di Revell. I would have been much more enthused e bought many more than the one box of each I got, had they included something approaching a historical mix of picche to muskets. Instead they only had a very few token picche.
They also often produce weird poses that are not very useful. Their proportions are usually more realistic than lead (miniatures), but they often include a lot of weird exaggerated postures that seriously detract from the usefulness of a pack. Horses are much better con integral bases in the Revell style instead of the old Airfix style pegs on the hooves e holes that never held together because of polyethylene’s rotten glueing properties.
- Universal Soldiers
Tony De Lyall writes: I like soldatini to be generic rather than represent a specific unit. That way I can paint them up to represent various types. This may mean that the soldatini loose some accuracy. (Note: Revell’s guerra dei trent’anni range offered fanteria, cavalieri ed artiglieria which could be painted as either truppe svedesi o imperiali. The available American Civil War troop types can be painted as Union o Confederate soldiers).
- Durability
Tony De Lyall writes: As we know, retaining paint on soldatini is a big problem. Therefore I’d ask manufacturers to ensure all fanteria had both legs on the base ed all horses had tre o quattro legs on the base. This may reduce the dynamism of the figure but the figure is more secure e therefore less likely to shed paint.
Ed Allan writes: One thing that would really get me painting more plastic would be if manufacturers could find another plastic instead of polyethylene, which is just about the most difficult solid material in existence to get glue o paint to stick to. Maybe teflon is worse, but not much else.
