Romanians in winter gear. Felt boots, those odd lanbskin caps and the odd one showing signs of frostbite and missing toes? Stalingrad/Operation Uranus presumably.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Just one of the figures from one of the ranges from our upcoming Stalingrad range. The Winter Romanians are released early in 2018. We'll have a sneaky preview of another of the ranges very soon and more sneak peaks in our newsletter.

Does this renewed interest in WW2 from GEG mean you'll be putting some more effort behind Iron Cross, Stuart?
Since its launch a couple of years ago, and one or two supplementary lists issued after a few months, it seems to have been left to wither on the vine? The IC forum on your site is effectively dead. There are no new lists, errata, or developments. Have you given up on it, or do you have plans for it?
I've started playing it over the last year, and I like it a lot. But it feels like a 'fire-and-forget' product. Did it flop? What's the story?
Thanks  :)

Time, Captain! We recently released the Eastern Front lists and we have a whole host of mid war ones to publish yet. I haven't seen any need for further errata at all. Iron Cross goes for reprint soon as the first run is almost sold out, so it's actually done very well. We still have an extra Iron Cross book to come out but will wait until after the reprint. Time goes so fast nowadays....

We have had massive success from DMH these last few years but have decided to make huge investment into WWII in 2018. We have 5 new ranges of 28mm figures coming out in the first 6/7 months covering over 200 new figures.

Okay. Good news. Thanks Stuart. In terms of errata, I think there were some slightly squiffy stats for some of the AFVs which differed between the lists in the book and the supplementary lists, but that’s probably a minor point... Glad to hear the ruleset is still alive and loved...  :)

Hmm... I‘m still convinced there‘s something wrong with his boot. Be that as it may, that little fellow looks a little, well, stubbed to me. Almost as if he had no abdomen at all. Hope that‘s also due to the phto   ::)

It went off to the mould maker so we only had a handful of quick photos with a mobile phone. His abdomen is always fine. We take special care with abdomens, even when they are under several layers of clothing and a heavy coat.
