If the Blonde Hans wins is there anyway of purchasing one of these as I will be unable to get to Tactica 2010

[Bako]

Paul got my vote. Cause you never can get enough schutztruppen.

[Helen]

Blonde Hans wins my vote an I agree if you are able to purchase the figure without attending the show that would be good.

My batallion used to be garrisoned in Hamburg´s Lettow-Vorbeck barracks back in the nineties, so there´s my vote!

[Plynkes]

He's in Brigade's Schuztruppe command pack. Not familiar with the other.

[Hammers]

You can't have too many sailors^*) so I vote for Blonde Hans.

Blonde Hans, no gentleman can resist a blond they say.

[former user]

definetely Hans
it would be nice if the mini would be available for purchase

[Grimm]

OK I talk with the tactica team and sorry to say the figure is only available at the show .
But that is a reason to come

You can never have enough accordion players.
Especially with all the ships, uboats, aeronefs etc around here.

Would love to attend Tactica, but Alasdair doesn't have a school holiday that coincides...... unless we can sneak across there without him...... surely one of these "Commando" magazines must show how to sneak into Hamburg .....

[WillieB]

Just checked with RyanAir and there are no flights to Hamburg- Lubeck from either Brussels, Antwerp or Eindhoven. Sigh....

However Andre is thinking of making this a three day holiday with a visit to the Munster museum included in the trip. Fingers crossed.
