How about some of the following :
Assorted officer poses - actually firing or beckoning forward
Assorted observer poses - standing , kneeling , laying down.
a set of MP,s (Military Police - not politicians - before Nik gets here :P)
bren team laying down
and the brits need a tank crew drinking mugs of tea, seated and standing and leaning on tanks. :)
any other ideas people ????
Civvies, domestic animals, trains and boats.
Actually, a Brit tank commander with mug of fresh tea to fit in a turret hatch would be pretty good!
I'd have to do some something with post war Brit tanks then :D Or find a way to shoe horn some into my AVBCW forces!
I take it we're talking WW2 here? How about George Patton directing traffic?
Brits with mugs of tea would be brilliant
Take care

Does give them unbreakable morale though. You would never beat them
By god sir, you've lost your tank!

Until the special scenario rules come into play, roll for panic/frenzy when the kettle is captured by the enemy!

Now, come on - get it right! :o You can boil the water in anything, it is the TEAPOT which is the key objective. :D :D ;D

The Pink Panzer strikes again.
Barring the tea party, how about some engineers clearing mines with bayonets - either prone or kneeling. Various nationalities.
Shades of Airfix - man dancing with rifle

Marine shooting pigeons with SMG.

Are you sure? The Italians make first-rate coffee, but are not renowned as warriors in the time of tanks. It might be the end of the American image as the ones who come in and save democracy if you start giving them lots of coffee on the job.
I have come late to this, but the sculpts are very nice. When I do the briefing for my WW2 games I include the line: 'The Germans are very inclined to counterattack whenever they can; the Brits are very inclined to stop for a cup of tea'.
Late - 5 yrs too late

Perhaps you mean "Latte" to this.

Yes, Alexander.....but you drink 'proper' coffee....I drink very sugary, slightly brown milk....which masquerades as de-caf coffee.
Like I've mentioned before....I've tried 'real' coffee......I truly couldn't stand it....FAR too bitter for my taste.
But then.....We're all different ! ;) ;D
Cheers - Phil :)
Oh, dearie me....
I'm with Techno when it comes to coffee.
I like "builder's" tea, too.
As a good socialist I can't drink proper tea ..... because, as any fule kno, proper tea is theft! :-)
Don't drink coffee. Will drink the occasional tea, but tend to stick to water.
My body is a temple.
A massively overweight temple.
I used to drink brewed coffee by the pot. Then it gave me terrible chest pains because apparently it rots the valve at the top of the stomach.
Tea - I'm alergic, but coffee has to be strong and black !
Help! Ian agrees with me about something!
Well, we do live in rather strange times.
Cheers - Phil. :)

'Interesting' is not a sufficiently descriptive adjective to described them, I'd say. 'Strange' doesn't do it either. I'm trying to think of one but have not yet come up with anything that does. Let's say, the novelty has long worn off.
On coffee, it's like beer insofar as there are lots of different kinds. Suffice to say that it has to be freshly made. De-caffeinated is just wrong. :D

Verrry true.
Thirded.
I even have a mug that agrees.
Death before decaf.
I'm off to vibrate quietly in a corner.
One of my mugs says:
It is by coffee alone I set my mind in motion
It is by the juice of the Java that thoughts acquire speed
The mug acquires a stain
The stain becomes a warning
It is by coffee alone I set my mind in motion
:) :) :)
I do like a bit of spice in my coffee :D
So that's why you look so young!
Spice?
Dune?
Melange?
Sheesh! Tough crowd!
Fsn has a killing name.
