    • Hittites and their allies collections and army deals from Foundry

    Wargames Foundry are advertising a series of Hittite, Canaan, Syrian, Mitanni collections and army deals.

    From their announcement:

    Hattusilis the First united the Hattic kingdoms to found the Hittite Empire and successive kings gradually conquered the surrounding regions. Later Muwatalli defended Hittite gains in Syria against the Egyptians, inflicting a defeat on them in a massed chariot battle at Kadesh. This range includes Hittite infantry and the indomitable Hittite chariots as well as their allies and sometime enemies from other parts of the ancient world.

    Off topic: I confess that I have liked many of Foundry’s ranges, from their SYW Russians (outstanding) to Vikings and Napoleonic Austrians.

    Over the last year, I’ve found many of the army or unit deals to be questionable on value and composition (unless using a 1:20 basing system, it just doesn’t work). I know the managers claim that they are minis for the collector, but a signficant portion of sales I would think goes to gamers.

    In that light, I wonder what happens to a company like Foundry if these plastic 28mms really take off. Do they change also or is there enough gamers who would want metal only?

    The Hittites look darn nice, but I’m going down in scale (excepting the plastics for WAB).
