Leon, I know I've already put in a plea for a Russian three-men-in-a-trench but seeing your efforts tonight gathering the current info on requests I wondered if it should be a more generic request to produce an equivalent for all of the WW2 armies without one.

There was at least one plea for a French version.

I'm currently only interested in the Germans (already produced) and Russians (already requested by a few of us).

Anyone else want to plead for this to be extended to their particular preferred armies?

There was three men in a trench and one of them said...?

I thought this was going to be a joke? :)

Three men in a trench and the sniper says,"I don't know what you're talking about, killing Tommies is easy. Watch this!"

"Hey Tommy!"

Head pops up from opposite trench,"Yes?"

Bang!

Body tumbles back into the British trench.

"Hey Tommy!"

Head pops up from opposite trench,"Yes?"

Bang!

Body tumbles back into the British trench.

"Hey Tommy!"

"Is that you Fritz?"

"Ja!" says the sniper popping his head up.

Bang!

If you are going to do "three men in a" series I would like to lobby for a detachable Montmorency. A few dogs could be handy in every period and, if the right breed is selected, could be proxied for sheep!

Pendraken's Prince Rupert is accompanied by a dog (presumably Boye), the Austrailians in the Vietnam range have a dog handler team and the WW2 Russian engineers have a bomb dog. So a selection of dogs are available.

I'm sure Techno sculpted animals but don't think they've made it into the catalogue or even in to production moulds.

Yes, my "Boye" is currently playing the part of a small donkey amongst my civilians (and Rupert an Irish general).
Several here have put me on to n scale sheep but always looking for conversion possibilities.
Had never actually searched on dogs - so some good suggestions.

My Ignorance of all things is well established, but bomb dogs? - I have to ask. Were these some sort of bomb sniffers OR
(More likely) hunter/killer drones? The description says "explosive dogs" yikes!  (but no picture was provided)

Finally the zombie dogs are great - five to a pack and a pose that facilitates turning them into sheep. Thanks!

BTW, Sorry, did mean for this thread to go to the dogs.

Oh, but what a wonderful idea!

(Actually, although I don't particularly like cats, no, the whole thing is pretty horrible...)
