Yes, I agree with this sentiment Bluefalchion. For my part, I reconcile this with an appreciation of the sacrifice that has been made in past wars, and that the past is the past. We cannot change history, but we can always appreciate it and - in our military modelling - pay tribute to those who have fallen in the past, no matter the cause.
So far as this set is concerned, there really are some excellent sculpts here, and so all praise to the sculptor. A difficult subject certainly, but one that looks and feels realistic. I know of at least one (very large) Napoleonic diorama that might have some of these new figures included amongst the masses of French cavalry.
