Would the Soviet range include the Red Cavalry and the Soviet Cossacks?

'How are the American WW2 BAR/MMG teams coming along?'

There is actually a BAR on on the advancing infantry strip, but as it did not come out distinctly we are going to sub a .30 cal for the US lmg.    Both this and .50 cal are going into the next pattern mould and I'd hope should be out next month.

I'm sorry, but I can't say at this point as we have yet to plan out the East front ranges in any sort of detail.    Off the top of my head, I can't think of a reason for not including them given the numbers involved.

Hello Peter.

When can we expect the next tranche of WWII releases please and any idea what they might be. eg US Paras, Fallschirmjagers. And any winter clothed figures in the pipeline???. Waiting for these in particular.

The next lot of releases will be Fallshcirmjagers, and we're looking at January/February.   That will mark the end of this phase as we concentrate on getting vehicles and artillery out.   Yes, someone will always want more, but I think that getting six sets of figures out in under a year isn't too shabby for just one period, and the sculptor is needed elsewhere for some work earlier on the 20th century.

Hey All!

Has anyone got GHQ WW II miniatures and compared them to these Baccus ones? How do they compare size wize when side by side? Would you say they are compatible?

I havean all GHQ WW II army but am tempted to get some Baccus figures if they would mix in okay...

I see MainForce, Irregular and H&R ranges mentioned in previous threads but nothing of GHQ.

THANX!

Hello Capt Darling,

Yes I have some and yes I would say that they were compatible at normal table ranges. This AAR features a mixture of British and German WW2 figures from Baccus (the majority), Adler and GHQ.

Will the fallschirmjagers be "dropping" in any time soon?.

They will indeed.  Just a couple of moulds to make, figures to paint and base and photographs to take.  

Give me a couple of weeks.  I am aiming for 'official' release at Hammerhead on March 4th.
