The above additions would be very welcome! I'd very much like to see at least one more pack of Abyssinian tribal levies with tribal weapons aswell though. I guess much depends on how well their existing range is selling. Maybe Empress would be kind enough to tell us if there is a good chance of them releasing more for this range or not?

Well, we know the Empresses and their prince consorts read these august fora, so maybe they will indeed tell us whether we're daydreaming of not  :D

Most of the Italians could do double duty as SCW/WWII types, so there may be hope there from a marketing perspective.

A magnificent set of figures and outstanding terrain.  I think I might try to emulate some of it because I'm working on the Italian invasion of Somaliland (1940) and the subsequent East African Campaign - but I'm doing it in 1/76 and 1/72. 

Excellent work and I look forward to more.

Lovely work Mr Morris.

I seem to recall something similar not so very long ago where the sole survivor was an Italian journalist who fought his way out and fled to the hills ... [grin]

Yes, Signor Marinetti was a very lucky chap! :)
