Title: Doughboys with Browning shotguns
Post by: Hildred Castaigne on 09 April 2012, 07:38:56 PM
Hello, LAF!
I was considering starting an American Expeditionary Force platoon for some WWI skirmish games.
Where can you find some good American soldiers carrying shotguns (the pump-action variety)?
Thanks in advance!

Maybe a little bit later than WW1 but check out Pulp figures:

Just ask Nick if there are any shotguns in the range.

Cheers,

Thanks, Traveller! Those are lovely figures, the BAR and shotgun certainly would be useful.
But alas they are a bit too late for what I'm looking for!

Thanks, aircav. I'll take a proper look through Brigade's range shortly!

I've just emailed Nick to ask if there are any shotguns in Great War's American range.
Thanks!

The GW American command pack has one (of the six figures in the pack) with a shotgun

The figures from Great War are lovely, but the pictures on the Northstar site are pretty dire.
So I didn't even notice that there was a shotgun in that set.
But thanks for the heads up! I reckon I'll send an order off to Northstar ASAP.
