Is that a camel, does that mean we might get some Anzac or Imperial Camel Corp?

And some of the headless figures look to be wearing bandoliers - dismounted cavalry and/or light horse?

Looks like plenty of Turks in Arab headdress.

I like some of the Officer/NCOs figures on the workbench.

I hope Soapy doesn't forget the Hotchkiss automatic for the Brits/ANZACs/Indian Cavalry and the Bergman LMG 15n/A for the Asienkorps when it come times to designing them.

All looks good anyway. Thanks for sharing the news.

I'm with you Helen. The lack of a Hotchkiss leaves a great big hole in the accuracy of any cavalry units. So does this (the camel) mean Soapy is beginning to move away from the Dardanelles? I would love to see Artizan / Brigade or WDC put out an Ottoman Mountain Gun set seeing as there were LOTS of mountain gun Batteries.

Hi Scott,

Not all is lost. Scarab miniatures a new company are releasing an Austrian mountain gun if GB don't.
