U boat crew are some of my favourite sculpts I've ever done;)

I'll be having some of those then  :)
High expectations now Paul!

You do realise that when Frank Chaswick came up with the term 'bathtub campaign' that's not quite what he meant? :)

Look forward to seeing those.

Will Empress be releasing a matching U-boat?

I'm hoping against hope, Paul, that your U-boat crew will be a reasonable fit with Artizan's Thrilling Tales U-boat crew. I know Mike Owen's sculpts are usually at the larger end of the 28mm world, whilst yours are often at the smaller, but...
Well, you know.. It would be nice if they were vaguely compatible. Just saying... :)

I've just added the new infantry packs to my cart, and was a little taken aback to see all the vehicles. I'm not familiar with the JFTM range, but presumably these are in 1/50 scale, as discussed in a previous thread?

As for the U boat, it isn't identified - a type VIIC?

The JFTM kits are actually the more standard 1/56th scale. We are more comfortable with this for larger vehicles especially tanks and the like. Empress don't have plans to make the big stuff anytime soon - but for smaller 'soft skin' vehicles the figures look odd if they can't interact properly in the interior space.

Hope that makes sense?

Thanks for the clarification, Keith. At least I don't have to replace my existing tanks - potential quality issues aside, that is.
