Title: Source for low price 15mm US Infantry in Winter gear?
Post by: MajorTalon on August 12, 2012, 11:53:56 PM: My gaming club has been bitten by the Flames of War bug, and I have been affected as well.

Due to Devil's Charge being released, I have decided to create a force from the 99th Infantry Battalion (Seperate), the "Vikings".

Here is information on them:

As Devil's Charge is based in the Ardennes Offensiive, I will need to make them in Winter gear, and the cost of a Winter company from Battlefront is not ideal for teenager with no job. So are there any low-cost solutions?

Indeed, I can't imagine why you'd want to buy anything from Battlefront at all (apart, perhaps, from bases). Their stuff is pricey and often quite sub-par compared to the likes of CD.
