Are you planning on having only early Republican Romans or are you going to have some Imperial Romans too?

Justindo do not puit more dilemas into WarriorOfToys!!!!  :lol: :lol: :lol:
Let him first get all the romans he can get and then he can organise them!  ;)

Sorry but I thought your question, a very important one, might bring even more confussion in WoT dilema!!! All in good intention!!! :) :)

Personally I like both kinds or roman representation!!!

hello w.o.t.,  :wave:
trying to help you with your dilemma (i think the word has 2 "m") i will just add the information i have about the napoleonic theme.  :)
compared to the other "families" the redcoats are a very small band.  :'(
i think playmobil produced them to go with the pirates and they appear mainly in sets related with buidings - forts and harbours, http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=4690.0.
and even in this case, the red is not the main color.
1 green coat in 3859/3914.
1 red coat in 3351.
2 blue coats in 3133/3619, 3 in 3112, 2 in 5727, 1 in 3127, 2 in 5775 and 3 blue 5009/5881 (a total 11).
without using the very ancient 3387, 3388, 3544 or the less ancient 3795, 3857 you could only "produce" a red coat army using the ds sets 7675 (soldiers) and 7676 (captain) - this is to say only 2 different uniforms.
i am not happy to say this but, to build an army, tha medieval theme or the roman theme seem clearly a better option.  :hmm:

Thanks all for your replies.
I have recently learnt that I have enough to buy BOTH the Medieval and Roman armies. :love:
I am going to build 3 centuries, 1 Hastatii, 1 Principe, and 1 Triarii century.
So, a republic army.

Cachalote,
I was not going to use the original redcoats,
I was going to use some bits and pieces from other klickies and form a totally unique regiment.
Steck is BACK! <:>

US DS is pathetically awful and although I didn't think it was possible, it has gotten worse!  After waiting over two months for my order, I finally received it yesterday and there are numerous incorrect parts included.  This is after they informed me that 80% of the parts I wanted were either discontinued or unavailable. >:(
