Now if Empress would just do those promised British Army in '37 webbing..... ;)

Great pity that the Mike Bravo range isn't about.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Remember seeing those at a show, really regret not buying them at the time.

Did the same, only I bought 'em! My regret is, it was years ago, and they're still not painted!

Impressive project - like your blog too - your Medieval minis are for instance very impressive.

If you pm me with swoppsies, I'll certainly have a think about it. If I keep the figures, the airport terminal and control tower any good to you?

Just read the book again.
In that they were all armed with Soviet equipment, each ten man section had two RPD LMGs, an RPG2, and everyone else an AK47.
Wearing Brit DPM and sporting US helmets. Didn't go into detail on the webbing.

Interesting, I'll have to read it again, I'd forgotten what a good book it is. Strangely enough I watched it again last night, I should imagine they went with FALs, SLRs etc because they'd be easiest to get hold of from the South African army.
