We will use them for "A Very British Civil War" but in a Swedish setting.

They would work for war in finland 1917-18 and maybe even in the baltic during the same time as there was quite many Swedish volonteers that fought agaiont the reds.

even work for some whatif erarly war ww2 gaming in Finland, Norway, Demnark or even Sweden against invaiding Germans…but maybe even Britts and French as there was plans by them to invade Sweden to secure the northern sweden and the to germany vitale ore production.

I just updated my blog with pictures of Swedes in the tricorne hat… Dalauppror

and here are some in helmets

Unusual subject and really nicely executed.
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

It's certainly an interesting set of figures. Are these going to go general release at any stage soon?

I have a few vehicles for a 1939 Swedish army unit.

StrvN41 (based on a licensbuilt Panzer 38(t))



Three Volvo 122 "Roundnose" (converted from Italieri 1/48 Opel Blitz kit)





A couple of Bofors 37mm AT guns



And a Stridsvagn m/21-29 (Sweden manufactured LK II)



All still boxed away ATM, I am sad to say.

I'm all in favour of anything for an alternative/earlier WW2 and these look excellent.  :D

Great looking figures, but what about uniform colour ?

 Was it a greyish-brown  pre WW2 ?

 or had a  greyish shade been introduced ?

Here´s info (in Swedish) about the colours of the Swedish 20th century uniform colours. There are helpful pics for those not fluent enough in Swedish or if Google translate makes it all too gibberish to understand.

Wow, was it really that small? It almost looks like a 20mm tank was fitted to a 28mm figure.

I'm not ragging your model (I know Hammers is on the ball!), this is a legitimate question about the size of the tank!
