I just ordered an Army straight from the Victrix website instead of the War and Peace deal because I figured 'hey, why not see if the manufacturer has a better deal on these minis?' It only took me a few days to figure out the obvious, but eventually I did. For $156.00, I'll be getting 208 infantry, 3 artillery pieces, two colonels and General Hill. This is compared to War and Peace's $150.00 for 157 infantry, 2 mounted (officers I presume), and three artillery. Yeahhhh the shipping was pricy (England), but I still feel it was worth it for that much more if you include shipping on the War and Peace deal.
The cool thing about the Victrix website is it allows you to pick and choose between boxes. You can pick 3, 5, or 7 boxes of any of their Napoleonic box units, such as French Imperial Guard, Highlanders, or British infantry from either Waterloo or Peninsula campaigns. It's a great deal for getting a bunch of troops in a little of time. I can't wait for them to arrive! Now I just need.... everything else... crap.
Here are the two deals for your comparison pleasures:
