The store is open. :)
Now I just have to wait another month or so for it to arrive. :/
Woohoo!

Yes it's a great new. But the postage... gloups

It could be better for sure - but I doubt that Sam will be making a profit from the postage - things just cost a lot nowadays. I will wait until Caliver has it and then it will be post free. What is another week when I still have so many figures to paint? :-)

Unfortunately, the US international posting rates have gone up dramatically in the past year. When I add that to the flat fee I pay for the warehousing and shipping, plus the PayPal fee, I'm actually losing a little bit of money on each one.
But don't worry- there will be many retailers in many countries, if you want to wait another month.

Ordered my copy today. Man oh man, am I excited to check out this game!
Now, any advice on where I can find reasonably priced models? Plastics, even?

What size figures are you after? There are several plastics 25mm available now (though mostly Brits / French, I think). For 15mm, the cheapest are probably Old Glory and Battle Honours - the latter are generally better figures. The best are probably AB, Fantassin and CGM, though they're more expensive. At 6mm, Irregular are really cheap, but Adler and Baccus are much, much better figures, and not that much more expensive either.

Well, i just finished reading Baccus' rant on the pros of using 6mm. I'm not the greatest painter in the world and bore quickly (as one look at my unfinished Dark Elf army would attest!). I strongly agree with his point that a 6mm brigade, really looks like a brigade, where the larger scales tend to look like rugby sides, or something. What are most people playing these days?

I have a 6mm Baccus French & Austrian army mounted for Grande Armee, but have not used them in some time (bored with the 6mm scale)....currently, I play only 28mm's in my Napoleonic Games (being TFL's Sharp Practice and soon to be supplemented by LaSalle!)

I have several armies, an Irregular 6mm Russian, Irregular 6mm Turkish, Adler 6mm Austrian, Adler 6mm Saxon, and several 15mm armies (mostly Fantassin / Warmodelling, AB and Essex, some Battle Honours, and probably some other manufacturers I can't remember off the top of my head (most of them are back in England)) for several countries - Saxons, more Russians, Bavarian, and I've just ordered enough figures for a 15mm Austrian Avant Garde division and several support options from Fantassin / WM (with a few bits and pieces from AB), which I'm going to be painting and basing up for Lasalle.
You can check out my progress (when I get them) at http://nickthelemming.wordpress.com/

Good lord Nick, you should really find something to do with your time! ;)
I'm inclining towards 6mm, for the savings. Perhaps Austrian or Prussian. I'll probably have to build a French army also, since I probably won't find many players around here.
P.S. I like your blog.

I've been wargaming since the early 80s, so those are armies I've built up over the last 30 years almost. Unfortunately most of them are in England (I'm doing my PhD in Canada); I only have a 6mm Austro-Russian Napoleonic (Grand Armee), 15mm Flames of War US Paras and the makings of a German FOW army, and 15mm Field of Glory Hundred Years War English army here with me, hence my buying a new army to use with Lasalle. A few others at our club are interested too, so there are around half a dozen of us creating new armies for Lasalle.

where in canada are you? I'm close to Vancouver.
You said the Baccus minis are available in the States? Got a link?

I'm on the other side of the country - Tronno. :)
I think it was someone else who mentioned Baccus being available in the US, but Scale Creep (http://www.scalecreep.com/catalog/) sell them.
