Nice to see them return! :) I bought mine some months ago for 0.70p a piece. :D

Could be used as Uniformed Askari. British etc. Yes?

According to a little book for teenagers from the 30s I bought at a car boot sale, perhaps even as Germans?
Here's a quick photo... Note the lack of footwear! :D

Third.  Oh my.  My prayers and wishes for recovery without a repeat performance.

Fifteen years in nursing before I became a "merchant of death" trained me to look for the worst options - my mind turned to dialysis or worse possibilities.

Gracias,

Glenn

Good news, now I can add to my jealously hoarded ten original-issue figures, ten not really being enough for a unit.

That depends on the rules.  Some figure to troops scales 10 men is a full sized unit.  What rules do you use?

Great news! - Which command pack would you use for them?


Here's a link to my little group, including what I used for command. No one makes anything precisely like the plate depicting officers so I modified some Foundry and Copplestone figures.

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=33522.0


I'm not pissed than they were re-released, even though I don't plan to acquire more. I purchased some many years ago from Copplestone and got lucky on an auction or two so I could fill out the force.

I admit to being a little angry when Foundry released figs that had been 'limited editions' but I got over that pretty fast. The concept of limited figures bother me now- if people want them, sell them dammit!

Thanks for that, nice job on the figures, I'm sure I've got a Pulp Figures German who will be willing to escape the box he has been in for the last few years.

And now I don't feel quite so guilty about converting my 12 to Burmese.
