Somewhere I still have their old catalog - they had some nice Napoleonics.

Trying the interwebs led me to here:

http://minifigs.tripod.com/index-2z.html (http://minifigs.tripod.com/index-2z.html)

However, they do not list 5mm figures but, should be able to tell you where they landed.

P.S. One could have some extraordinary armies as 5 mm.

Well, Minifigs made These 5 mm blocks only a short time(in the 70ies). They never were released again.
Irregular Miniatures make 6 mm figures (single and in blocks). There is a Topic on The Miniatures page about those figures http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=418256
