SYW would have been cooler.

That would be plausible. Pike and Shotte did work well for both ECW and TYW.

For AWI, I’m curious to see how they handle First Nations miniatures – might be interesting, as a Canadian, eh?

The Queen’s York Rangers (QYRang) are perpetuated in a Canadian armoured reconnaissance regiment. There were two on my basic armoured officer course.

Yup, but with them going for AWI s the main focus, you’ve got British and American units initially (possibly French and Spanish later), but no Austrians and no heavy Cav units etc. But I am hoping they do just line infantry for the main sprues and don’t add daft minor units onto the sprues (like having Rifles on the main sprues when you only need  2 or 3 for the 100 days so you end up with a LOT more than you need). I’m also hoping they don’t do half in warrant and half in campaign dress (a bit like they did with half the Nap French line being in full dress and half in greatcoats). Warlord also like to add units that may look “kewl” onto their sprues, but the realistic possibility of them being fielded on the battlefield is low to non existent (some of the French units on the Guard sprues).By the way, if you’re into this level of detail and customization, you might enjoy the Epic Bosses feature in Sacralium. They put a lot of effort into making mechanics and battles feel engaging and realistic, just like this one, with a lot of different units and variations to choose from

The main thing is to keep the base casts balanced, not overloaded with unnecessary units.

This is the shut up and take my money moment for me

AWI Confirmed.
