What we really need are some French Special forces.

Considering just how busy they've been in Somalia, Sahara and Mali the past year.

Never seen Stonebridge and Scott. But looks interesting, I will have to check it out.

Search for 'Strike Back'.  :)

Did you know Stonebridge (the Brit) is played by an American actor and Scott (the American) is played by a British actor!

I didn't and I'm quite impressed... Americans normally sound like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins, or a member of Royalty, when they try to do an 'English' accent and Stonebridge's doesn't even sound 'Southern English'. Now if the guys who write the script and screenplay put the same effort into their roles...

that's right  :D...1erRPIMA, Commandos Marine, CPA 10 in Mali...Service Action commandos in Bulomarer etc

but the French SF are not really different from the others Westen SF...I think you can take any SF minis to represent them (maybe not the devgru but i'm not sure)

Thanks! I found it on Netflix.
And yes sadly, most of us Yanks think that the British sound like Victorian rejects. But on the flip side, lots of folks I run into think we all sound like Al Capon or extras from a John Ford western. lol
I remember when I was in the UK a few years back a little kid on the tube didn't believe I was American.
The reason being in order.
1. I am not fat.
2. I was not carrying a gun on me at that moment.
3. I have never been on Jerry Springer
4. I wasn't in or ever in a Gang

I am not keen on all of these balaclavas and ski masks - there seem to be a lot of them.

There are only around 8 figures out of the 80 in the entire range that have their faces covered. Balaclavas and other face coverings have only been sculpted onto a figure only when appropriate. In dusty environments it is quite common for soldiers to do this, despite the heat.

It is also fairly common for African rebel groups to do the same, but usually to hide their identities as well as for the practical reasons. Everything that has been on designed on the figures is taken from real world references and very careful research - no matter how strange or outlandish some may look!

If everything goes well we certainly have plans to expand the range considerably to include other nations.  :)
