Depending on demand, further sets will be added. Maybe we'll even develop the range into the later part of the war, when Romania fought as part of the Allies.


Might I suggest that rather than branching into esoterica, with things like vehicle crew being adaptable from existing models, you might be better off getting some variants of the basic figures done. Puttees for some and I'd suggest getting some head variants and leg wear modifications to cover the mountain troops who were Romania's elite forces and saw action in all of their campaigns.  Who doesn't like a figure in a silly-large beret and rolled socks?

Frontier Guards would be a wholly different topic, too much variation for the early ones, helmets, weapons etc.

Of course if you ever did decide to go silly and produce exotic stuff that would be unlikely to sell then Romanians in greatcoats, sheepskin lined capes and those distinctive fleece caps would be nice. Ideal for use as a speed bump outside Stalingrad circa November 1942.

Mad Bob Miniatures has a number of interesting vehicles and guns for the Romanians.

Just a comment on the list. Fine as it stands with communications (perhaps field telephone), pioneers (if there is a difference) and artillery/anti-tank crew would be nice.

They look very nice and I will definitely pick some up. Like others, I would like to see a gun crew added to the range. Also some Romanian beret head swaps would be a good way to extend the range.

They would need a bit more than head swaps, they would require modifications to their nether wear to get that yoga pant look.
