They do do pontoon wagons for their Napoleonic stuff but the French ones, as an example, are £28 each over here. <br /><br />Perry also do a nice French one for £17 (team not included) with extra matching pontoons with a 'span section' at £11 each - though the pontoons are not very 'wargame generic' because they represent riveted metal pontoons and (to my mind) they are a little short for a the base span of my troops: this isn't very 'historical' on my part but having decided on 'generic' (I would not paint the French ones as French) I wanted 'game useful' over 'table accurate'.<br /><br />In any event, for me, the metal option was too expensive for something that will rarely see the light of day - a nice to have, only at the right price. <br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />JamesJAMES ROACHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04019888286247164276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946235325566947321.post-73979063465408050312017-11-06T18:09:38.520-08:002017-11-06T18:09:38.520-08:00The wagons are excellent, and I love the pontoons....The wagons are excellent, and I love the pontoons. <br />In the US Blue Moon through Old Glory are good source of a great many different wagons as well (but no pontoon wagons). Shipping to the UK makes them too costly, though (shipping inside the US is a flat $9 for any size order).
