Said that I can only second the previous recommendation. BEF infantry is definitely the way to go. And the vehicles too.

Not true. I got a delivery just the week past.

The French infantry figures accompanying the tanks pictures are from Crusader Miniatures.

I think they do

The BEF-minis are Mike Owen sculpts, (artizan)

Post by: Hammers on June 04, 2010, 08:52:38 AM: The vehicles are very tidy. I am very pleased with them and Crouchies service. He runs a comparatively small outfit but takes his time to communicate delays and is quick to amend little glitches. That's all I ask for. On my 'Most Trusted' list.

Post by: Keith on June 04, 2010, 08:59:51 AM: Crouchie's customer coms and service have always been exceptional.

Post by: tim in saskatoon on June 08, 2010, 04:57:19 PM: I have the Crusader Germans and I like them well enough. If I had one complaint it'd be that they look a little too "well fed"...

I don't have any of the BEF miniatures, but I do have a bunch of Artizan Minis (by the same sculptor) and they are great!
