Un optio???

I am convinced that one of us, sooner or later, will be able to decipher the enigma.

In any case, these small incentives are appreciated, in these moments of worrying stillness in our little hobby.

Greetings to Andreas and his entire team.

I have just received the high command of the armies in contention.

The figures of Anibal and Scipion are great, and, of course, their two companions.

I would like nothing more than Linear-a to now set its eyes on the groups of armies that took part in the second Punic war under the command of these two great generals.

I just received my order.

Although, obviously, I am already aware of the quality of Linear-a products, the truth is that I am pleasantly surprised every time I open a box with the new items purchased.

I would appreciate it, Andreas, if you continue to amaze me for many years to come.

Greetings.

I share in its integrity the manifestations of Zuavo72.

I appreciate, and very much, the great effort of Andreas and his team to provide us with these small portions of happiness.

And I appreciate even more, your purpose of producing more articles in less waiting time.

Thank you so much.

I have already placed my order

I also want to thank Linear-a for their efforts in continuing to provide us with these small, but magnificent works of art.

And like Patrice, I don't want to miss the opportunity to encourage the production of all the armies that could have been involved in the 2nd Punic War on both sides.

Although I can't lose sight of the rest of the promised offers, and on which Linear-a is working.

It is a pleasure to have news again, and of this type.

The figures are great Andreas. The Roman officer who accompanies Scipion catches my attention, especially for the use of a circular shield (perhaps it is a Hellenistic vestige).

Frankly, I'm looking forward to you starting to address the theme of the Punic Wars (the first, the second and the third).

In the company of the multiple Roman legions from the end of the Republic (César, Pompeyo, Crassus, Marco Antonio...) it is a beautiful panorama of the future.

We will eagerly await your news, both in terms of the launch of the announced news, as well as future challenges.

Greetings.

For my part, I certainly fully agree with what the rest of the group members say.
I believe that your efforts should continue to focus on producing the highest number of figures per set.
I would not like the introduction of other diverse elements to reduce the number of figures or increase the cost of the product.

What's more, I prefer that you continue directing all your efforts to expedite, as far as possible, the placing on the market of the announced sets.

Definitely, my vote is directed to the production of the greatest number of figures, in the shortest possible time.

Greetings.

Obviously, in all aspects of life, we always look for the best at the best price.

I fully understand the arguments that Andreas raises, and I sincerely believe that the option you propose to maintain prices, or at least not raise them excessively, reducing the number of poses and figures, may be quite reasonable.

Especially if we take into account that this option has already been traditionally used by other brands.

Also taking into account that this mode of production could speed up and increase the offer, as you have just confirmed in another line of this forum, I am definitely in favor of your proposal.

So get to work...

I love that Andreas provides us with information about what's new.

He has just revealed to us the mystery of another of the promised republican legions.

At the same time confirming that Marco Licinio Crassus, like Caesar and Pompey, will have his own Legion (Set 67), he informs us that Marco Antonio's legions in Egypt will also appear on the scene (Set 66).

Who knows if this will mean that Lepidus and Octavian also have their chance.

In short, a promising series of figures from the Republican era begins.

Personally, I love this way of approaching Linear-a's work.

Starting from specific historical moments, they develop and create the appropriate figures, thus covering a period of history.

To finish my comment, I would like to propose, in relation to the extensive period of the Roman Republic, other scenarios to take into account:

Caudine Forks.
Baecula.
Cannae.
Metaurus.
Zama.
pydna.
Aqua Sextiae.
Jugurtha War.
Numantia.
....
Can you think of other scenarios?.

Anyway, dreaming is free, but with Linear-a, it might be possible.

Will I have any chance Andreas?

Wow, wow, wow...

It seems that another of the republican Roman legions on stage will be that of the third member of the Triumvirate.

Not bad Andreas... this way we'll have Caesar's legions, Pompey's, and Crassus's too. It´s great....

Wow, wow, wow...

I am also curious to know how an illusion, or a passion, ends up becoming a business adventure of these characteristics.

How do you get in contact with the sculptor, with the company that produces the figures, with the creator of the boxes?

Other interesting questions would also be those related to the number of boxes that are planned for each set, and if the same number of boxes is produced in each set...

Anyway, there are many questions, but I don't know if Andreas would be willing to reveal all his secrets...

Your decision seems to me, in addition to being very respectable, very appropriate and in accordance with the general criteria transmitted by the vast majority of those of us who expressed our opinion in the survey.

In this way, the sets will focus specifically on the battle, and will also cover a number of poses that would not have been given if you had opted for a single set.

Now, I hope that the legions of the Optimates (Pompey) are up to the task, and contemplate at least the same variety of figures.
I would appreciate it, Andreas, if you could clarify the reason why no decision has been made on this set yet.

On the other hand, I hope too, that the other promised legions of republican Rome, which in principle are a surprise, do not fall into oblivion.

After thinking about it a lot, during the weekend, and reading the messages from my colleagues with whom I share a hobby, I think that, indeed, if I have to choose, I prefer that the sets about Caesar and Pompey contain figures that can be framed in legions deployed embattled.

On the other hand, still being a surprise, I hope that the other sets corresponding to the legions correspond to republican Rome, and more specifically with the legions facing Pyrrhus and Hannibal.

We will wait for your wise decisions Andreas.

Good afternoon Andreas.

Can't ask for everything?

If I have understood the question correctly, the question is to decide on two sets (before battle, and in battle) for each legion (Caesar and Pompey), or only one set in the battle for Caesar and another for Pompey, to focus too in other Legion sets.

It's like asking a child which of the two sweets you offer him he chooses.

Personally, the confrontation in the civil wars between Caesar and Pompey appeals to me a lot, but I am also attracted to other legions of republican Rome (facing Pyrrhus, or facing Hannibal).

On the other hand Andreas, your question is a bit ambiguous, and it raises several doubts:

What are those other legion sets you're referring to?

Opting for a set for each set (Caesar and Pompey), plus the other sets of the legion, would work on the sets from before battle be resumed later?

Wow, how difficult is this...!!!

Great Andreas.
Once again you manage to make my day, even the week, and possibly the next months, as you provide us with more data.

Thank you very much

I completely agree with Rudwa.
Frankly, I think that the option of adding the figure of Julius Caesar in the set dedicated to the Roman legionnaires is not the most appropriate.

In my particular case, when faced with a set of my interest, I usually purchase a number of no less than 10 boxes, it would be absurd to have a large number of representative figures of Caesar, also losing the possibility that these figures correspond to legionaries, which which would obviously be more useful for my armies.

This circumstance, obviously, is applicable to Cleopatra, or any other leader who wants to represent.

Therefore, definitely, my option clearly opts for a specific set that includes these leaders and part of their staff, or bodyguards.

Thank you very much Andreas, both for your generosity in revealing data about future sets, and for the fact that they are dedicated to covering the indicated periods.

I do not fit joy in me.
You make me very happy with this news, really. Both by Caesar's Romans and by those of Pirro and Hannibal's war.

Now, I think that if you have decided to enter the aforementioned period of republican Rome (legions against Pirro and Hannibal), you will have no choice but to start thinking about the Punic armies.

I leave it there...
