Recently I bought the Boardgame "The Great War", a Commands & Colors variant, for those who know the system, by The Plastic Soldier Company. Lots of little toy soldiers, and I also got the Tanks expansion, with a couple each of Mk.IV Male & Female & a couple A7V, to scale with the figures (which makes them quite big!) Figures & tanks are very nice, although I'm not too fond of the hard plastic. Only a single German rifle has broken though. Sadly, I lost the torso of one of the British machinegunners while cleaning up, I'm trying to contact them to buy a new sprue (no reply in 3 days though...)

Anyway, the rulebook includes stats for a Whippet fast tank, but notes that they're for completeness, as there's no mini for it.

So, the point of this post, does anyone know a good manufacturer of Whippets in either big 15mm or small 20mm? The figures are officially 1/100th scale, and are about 18mm tall to the tops of their battle bowlers.

Try QRF, not the best models sometimes. Peter Pig may also do one. Both 15mm.

Hi

The Whippet was included in the Kickstarter and they are nice.  I have just gone to Plastic Soldier and they have a pack of 3 for 16.50 pounds the same as supplied in the Kickstarter. Link http://theplasticsoldiercompany.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=163_159&products_id=1226  Hope this helps.

Excellent  - I got mine with the Kickstarter for the Peloponnesian War version of Quartermaster General (Death or Glory? Something like that...) and no Whippets were ofered.

That'll do nicely!

Excellent. Pricey, mind you, you have to buy the figures in packs of 3 sprues.

Blue Moon may be suitable as they are generally large 15mm



Min figs also produce one

I have an urge to buy them from the game publishers, but I'll look at the alternatives, thanks all.
