Yes, god news that there are some news anyway. But does anybody know something about the situation in general? does Mr.Harris sells the company? Or just rename it? I think you all got to know that HäT was "taken over" (?) by Pacific coast company.

Now it'll take only a couple of years after the release of Peninsular Dragoons in 2024...

What good News? :eh:
As far as I can tell ( I gave up visiting the Forum a Long time back..it was too much like watching paint dry ) nothing has changed, the usual requests for this or that or the usual promise of a release..but what of ?? WTF is E27R? A set or a lot of sets ? Is it new Releases or re-releases??

I struggle with the lack of understanding about Hat`s E numbers, being as it has been explained so many times on the Hat forum over the years, but here it is once again, E is a prefix to a release, each release then is given a number, eg 1 for the first ever, to 27 for the last release and 28 for the next, these are new sets, when it is an R release this denotes restocks, R= restocks E= New. Now what is new on the Hat page now is two crowdfunding sets one in 1/32 Nappy Austrians and secondly 1/72 unmarried Zulu warriors. Now if this crowdfunding proves a success Hat can speed up the release of other sets by funding the project in much the same way, like PSC did with their 25 pounders. That is good news for anyone who has lusted after Hats long list of awaited sets. I hope that clears that up.

Specifically E27R is a release of restocks of 93 sets, 2* 1:28, 23* 1:32 and 68*1:72.
list here:

http://pub19.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=1619281253&frmid=6&msgid=946973&cmd=show

The 1:72 sets by name here:

http://pub19.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=1619281253&frmid=6&msgid=946992&cmd=show

Note that set8287 is on the list by mistake, the Prussian Artillery mentioned are the 1806 set and the british dragoons are the colonial set.

I think releasing 93 sets at once is not a bad effort even for restocks.

If one doesn´t frequent the Hät Forum any "lack of understanding" would be obvious?

Well... honestly, I don't see what's so great about this. The September list also contains only re-releases.
There's no sign of anything new, especially the Prussian Landwehr which is 'under construction' for... three years, or is even four years now?!

Double your last figure and that´s how Long.... ;-)
or, the sassanids, nearly 10 years ?
They had some decent stuff in the waiting list. I was looking foward to the Colonial Ox Wagon and the Colonial General Service Wagon but TBH, after 5 years, I gave up on them.
