Standard User Posts: 10 BPGreenman 1st Feb 2016 04:17:03 Boom! Order away! Can't wait :D I know you'd prefer a 'range' release, but it's very exciting getting this stuff in waves! |

Standard User Posts: 2 Phil "APDS" Gray 7th Feb 2016 10:13:46 Delighted to see the figures in the metal. Having gotten them home and compared them to my existing collection (MainForce, Irregular and H&R) I am very pleased with them. While yours are taller head to toe than Irregular, and much better detailed, from base to head, as your bases are so thin and Irregulars are so thick, they top out at the same height (though I still think my Irregular troops may yet find themselves on permanent R&R). They fit right in with the MainForce types (kneeling figure to kneeling figure), but I do like your plan for support weapons as a single group base. Would you consider revisiting the pack structure once you have the full range of supporting elements so as to produce a "company" pack - i,e, rifle squads with light machine guns, platoon command, company command, medium mortar group, medium or heavy machine gun group, anti-tank group, Oh.. and... Will you do Soviets? Will you do the early war period too? (i.e. light mortars, anti-tank rifles?) Will you also do specialist tank hunters (Maenner gegen Panzer style teller mines, smoke pots, bundled grenades, magnetic AT mines etc,Talvisota style molotov cocktails, bits of timber, Soviet style mine dogs??) Cheers

Standard User Posts: 144 6mmwargaming 8th Feb 2016 07:25:31 Great review. I'm very pleased to here they will mix with mainforce as I have quite a few and I can get more variety on my bases. |
Administrator Posts: 895 peter 8th Feb 2016 09:46:18 As we get more of the codes into production we will indeed by doing larger formation packs as we've done with the Polemos and GWSH ranges. It just takes a little time for us to get the critical mass of options available. The plan is to complete the Western front to a large degree, then the Eastern front and then look elsewhere with North Africa looking favourite at the moment. I know that everyone will want us to do lots of things that they REALLY want and no-one else does. All I can ask is for patience as we get the core ranges together. We are working to a set plan and won't be deviating for that for some time to come. You just have to trust us that the plan is the right one to follow....

Thank you for this range and keep up the Great W ORK |
Standard User Posts: 24 Captain Darling 17th Mar 2016 09:59:26 Hi All! Has anyone compared the new Baccus WW II figures with current GHQ ones? I see MainForce, Irregular and H&R ranges mentioned in threads but nothing of GHQ. THANX! "There's nothing cushy about life in the Women's Auxiliary Balloon Corps!"
