Cavalier
Books
Publishers of General de Brigade,
my rules set of choice for 1/72 plastic Napoleonics. Use the 25mm
scale for division-sized battles. The publisher is in England, but
shipping is fast to the USA.
Steumpfle's
This site has been under construction
as long as I've seen it, but the prices and service here are great.
Rick Steumpfle seems a very decent guy. I have ordered from him twice
as well, and deliveries were prompt and complete. Email him for his
current inventory and prices.
The
Toy Soldier Company
This company serves the 54mm market,
but they carry a limited stock of 1:72 scale figures as well. I've
ordered from them once. Shipping was very cheap, but prices for figures
were too high and my order took 7 days to arrive. Not terrible, but
not great either.
Michigan
Toy Soldier Company
This is a well designed site and
the company stocks quite a lot of figures. I'd had minor problems
in my dealings with them in the past, but a recent order went off with
only a slight hitch. The site itself is very nice, and worth visiting
often. I'm told by the owner that they now have an expert dealing
exclusively with the 1/72 scale figures, and this has improved their operation
immensely.
AJA
Hobbies
I first bought from this vendor
in an E-Bay auction, and was very pleased both with the quality of the
service I received and with the price of the figures I bought. AJA
Hobbies maintains an extensive website. They carry 1/72, 1/35, 54mm,
and 1/16 figures along with model sets, games, books, and anything else
one might find at the corner hobby store.
Komar,
On-Line Military Modeling Magazine
This is a great site, with reviews
of all of Italeri's figures, and some of Airfix and A Call to Arms.
The author of the site also maintains a very nice gallery of some of his
painted figures. Since he also sells the figures, I have included
him in the vendor's section, but the content of his pages may be enjoyed
independently of any purchase.

This company makes and sells 1/72
scale metal Civil War figures. I have ordered and painted a few regiments
and personalities from their stock, and have been very pleased with the
result.

but it's still easily navigable. The galleries are especially nice.
There are a good number of periods represented.

scans of figures here, including some great conversions and reviews of
newly released figures.

various boxes in which the figures were sold.
Modelnet
World War II is the focus for modeler

highly recommended to anyone with an interest in World War II.

Times Journal Games
The War Times Journal is an internet
magazine which lists several free rules sets for miniatures gaming.
"Republique" is for the Napoleonic period, and "1916" and "1943" are for
the two world wars. I haven't played anything from these rules sets
yet, but they have inspired me to paint up my WWI Germans and French.
Warflags
This site is incredibly useful.
The author provides high resolution images of miniature wargaming flags
suitable for use with 1:72 scale figures. Simply size the flags,
print them on you high quality printer, cut them out with a razor, and
you need never buy a commercially made flag again. Many historical
periods are covered, including the medieval period, the English Civil War,
the War of Spanish Succession, the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars,
The American War of Independence and Civil War, colonial wars, the world
wars, the Mexican American War, and pirate flags!
