So am I. If I could make one request, could we have packs of riflemen with plain, vanilla, unadorned tin hats? Some of us really want to do pre-war and early war Hungarians as per the 1938 border clashes with Czechoslovakia and the 1939 war with Slovakia.

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

They are all done, Carlos, over 40 figures in total. Most have plain helmets with a few field caps.

We are extremely proud to announce the second of our new WWII ranges, following the news of our Winter Romanians. Our Hungarian range presents a not seen before range of 28mm miniatures for WWII gaming.

The first release of command and infantry squads is in late February. In early March we release support packs including mortars, heavy machine gun, sniper and anti-tank teams.

Sculptor Michael Percy has done a great job of conveying the specific uniform characteristics and different small arms of the Hungarian army of WWII, as well as adding a healthy number of bushy mustaches! More than 40 individual figures will make up the range.

Regards.

Early...mid....late? By the look of them I'm guessing early/mid war?
Now listen to me you benighted muckers. We're going to teach you soldiering. The world's noblest profession. When we're done with you, you'll be able to slaughter your enemies like civilized men.

I saw some of these at the 'Green' stage.....so much better in their painted form! Thank you for filling this glaring hole in the miniatures available to those of us who favour the Eastern Front and like a little variety?

They do paint up well.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

What's up with the multiple figures with the helmet netting? It was extremely rare in reality.
