28mm Spanish Civil War Republican Additions from Empress Miniatures.
New Republican packs added to the store just in time for Salute!
Our superlative Spanish Civil War range has just grown with the addition of two new packs for the Republican Army. These include a command set featuring officers, standard bearer and stretcher bearer alongside a new set of support weapons, one of which is a captured Italian deadly flamethrower!

These have been added to the Republican section of our Spanish Civil War store today and are also available for a last-minute Salute pre-order (definitely recommended at this point). Our stand is TM24
Cheers,

Splendid stuff, and someone as made a Madsen at last.

Very nice additions. :)
Despite it being a cracking figure, I have to moan that the utility of a captured flame thrower in every pack bought is a lot less than what an extra machine gunner would have been though. I might have preferred twin prone/advancing Madsen and Hotchkiss gunners in a single pack myself.
Nevertheless any SCW figures are better than no SCW figures. I also imagine a head-swap would create a passable Italian flame thrower guy too. ;)

Another two sets of excellent figures.
I find it harder and harder not to get into this time period.
Empress is not making it any easier.

I would just give in to temptation now to save doing so later. ;)
I have been 'studying' the SCW for easily ten years now and rarely do I pick up a book without learning something I did not already know about this fascinating conflict. It is a lot more than just 'WWI with WWII equipment', or 'Pre-WWII' and so wide in its progression from columns of men moving around shooting stuff up in 1936, to its massed armies of 1938-39.

Arlequin,
Your are right. I might as well get into the period.
An era I have looked at off and on for 30 plus years.
I played a 20mm game about that time.
Loved it.
I remember my aunt going to Spain in the early 1960s.
She had wonderful photos of where she had gone.
And of course the history.
Maybe now that I am retired, I do it.
Just have to finish my AWI stuff I just started. :)
Another period I have always wanted to do.

I was enticed into the period by this very figure range. Since then have read (and read!) and 5 years on reckon I have achieved a basic understanding but no more. It is absolutely fascinating. Historically absorbing and an excellent period to wargame.
Try it, you won't regret it.
