Some of my old Redoubt figures I got in the 90's I think when I was 19 or 20. They were my first metal 28mm Historical Wargaming Figures. There was a nice guy in California who used to carry them Doug Carrico, I think his name was. used to ship them out before I think my check cleared in just a few days from California to New Jersey in those days when the mail was slow:). I used to order from the catalog or sometimes I used to have my dad order from the phone, used to suffer and still do from social anxiety disorder was very scared of talking to people on the phone,Now I think I have overcome it:) you can see the paint jobs are something to be desired. I did get my painting to a good standard in a few years. then I left the hobby. I have returned in the last few years. You can see they made an unoffical Richard Sharpe, they had made a Harper too but I cannot find him probably somewhere in my storage. I played with my own skirmish rules. Then played Green Jackets which was a free set online by a guy named Richard Denning I think his name was. they were pretty good rules. they were published in an edition of Wargames Illustrated also. I have the First in the Field rules published by Redoubt but never played them. I think Mr. Carrico ceased trading long ago, I ordered once or twice from the UK and got my orders. It is a shame Redoubt I think will cease trading. The old ranges are going away. I hope someone picks it up. I got a boatload of Redoubt Napoleonic French from Noble Knight recently and at a good price:). I just heard the owners of Gripping Beast are retiring which is sad. I hope someone picks up that range and wish the owners well on their retirement.
