I know I won't, I've been eyeing up a US platoon for CoC for some time, and since USMC would mean a whole new set of terrain, these guys are going to end up in sunny Italy :), where I will only have to build some new terrain, which can then be shared with Sharp Practice in the Peninsula.

Sorry but I really do not like those poses.
They seem rather stilted compared with their others

The facebook page showed the whole range of poses, personally, I thought they were better than the Desert Rats ones, well thought out and very natural looking.

Are they the same size as the Desert rats and Afrika Korps sets (ie 27mm tall)?
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

I had not noticed the previous figures being short compared to Warlord.

Warlord BEF comparison (yes it was a Warlord figure).

We'll have to wait another month to answer that question as the set won't be out until Salute but so far the Perry WW2 figures have been very consistent size-wise so there's no reason why these should be taller or bulkier than the rest of the range, which was designed to fit 1:56 vehicles.
