From Mark Copplestone's latest newsletter

"Future Plans

The plan is for me to make regular new releases for existing Copplestone ranges (initially 10mm and 15mm fantasy) and start work on a couple of new projects. One of these will be a 28mm fantasy range and the other will be a quirky 30mm toy soldier range called Little Interwars"

I like quirky, already thinking of a South American imaginations project

When I saw 'toy soldiers' I couldn't help thinking of the old Wills cigarette cards like 'Uniforms of the World' or 'Empire and Dominions', or whatever they were.

I admit to being curious and interested.

Trying to post a pic, when Photobucket behaves, standby but Don't hold your breath

I'm sure you must have masochistic tendencies to stick with Photobucket. I have none of this with Google/Picasa.

Here we go, got there in the end.

Not really just won't let the bastards beat me

Well they are indeed very toy-soldiery... I think the middle ones might be Czechs, the ones on the left Bulgarians maybe, and the right ones Yugoslavs... I wouldn't put money down on any of those guesses though.

Nevertheless they look the part and I'm sure they would work with the 'Advanced' Little Wars rules in the H.G. Wells book (the ones that don't involve shooting matchsticks from cannon).

Yep, curiosity piqued.

Uh oh new project enters the horizon...already been online checking stuff out before recovering my Tintin books gifted to my son a year or so back...will raid his room under cover of darkness tonight...now when can we get them?

Very tempting and Tintinish indeed.
Any idea when they will be released?

No date mentioned yet, I'm sure Nick and Mark will keep us informed.

They look just the part for "Shambattle" armies. I would hope to see artillery, MGs and cavalry for the range as well.

Arlequín · « **Reply #14 on:** March 20, 2016, 04:20:10 PM »

I would expect vehicles too... otherwise what would be the point of them being 'Interwars'? The whole Interwar era was all about part-mechanised and part horse-drawn armies.
