That's OK, I have just discovered that they have not been released yet. They will be added to my order when I do it next week.
Cheers,

They have been released. I have quite a few. They are just not on the website. Often worth checking the US website for product codes and photos, it's usually updated more regularly than the Australian one.

Thanks, Carlos. I have been talking to Nic R about RCLs anyway, so I will ask him about the SKS armed guerillas.

OK, I have my Brits in Aden figures now from Eureka and they are excellent. I am collecting 28mm figs to use in Chain of Command Bush Wars by TFL and in the beta lists I see that the ZANLA CTs and the Rhodesian SFs have access to a 60 mm mortar but the only one I can find with a post WW2 crew is the Red Star one in their Dien Nien Phu range and the figures in that pack are in distinctly US style equipement including helmets. Does anyone know of a source for the 60mm mortar with either African insurgent or Rhodesian crew (preferably both)?

It is my intention to buy some TAG US Special Forces with shotguns and AK47s to use as some of the more LRRP style troops in the lists.

The mortar itself was likely a Chinese copy of the US 60mm mortar, itself a copy of the Brandt 60mm. Any WW2 US range that carries a 60mm mortar will do for the tube. Head swap for US marines would probably be the closest thing for crew. Maybe Warlord Games or Brigade games ranges of USMC?

Edit:- Checked Brigade, one of the sets that there are no pics of and the WG one has crew in all their gear including back packs. Bugger!

OK, thanks, was hoping to get them all from the same maker but no such luck.

Mongrel, TAG, Stan Johanson, Eureka, SJ
I was asked for a SJ comparison pic
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

KillerB Games has added three packs (four figs each - Command, advancing and firing) of US Army infantry armed with M-14s.

Also KillerB has British Commandos, two packs of three (advancing and firing) and a single in a balaclava throwing grenade.
Available from KillerB in the UK and Recreational Conflict in the US.

Not sure if these have been mentioned by Kings Miniatures and Hobbies have a load of modern stuff in 1/50th, with bits like the Russian Chaborz incoming.

That T-14 Armata has me wanting to go back to my Eastern European stuff now...

Under Fire miniatures has posted up some of their early 80' US army with M16's, two figs with 203's and one with an M-60. All in M1 steel helmets.
Said that they will be doing  mid/late 80's US in PASGT (Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops) soon. 
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

Full Battle Rattle Miniatures are coming out with a 1/50th Canadian LAV-III,  which with a bit of work would do for the other Piranha variants.



They have pre-orders up for $65 (rather than the $70 retail) in order to pay for production if anyone's interested:

Nice, I think the turret might be a little small, but still pretty cool.
