They look stunning - how do they compare size wise with the current WWII Germans? I have to ask because the detail on the new guys is superb.

I've just checked the original folder and saw the 20mm originals and came back here to delete my post - too late, I have been caught with my pants down! :-[

Just as well .... I think my German troops morale would have collapsed if faced by them :)

Some excellent additions. Shame I have all I need based upon the WWI range :(, but some of the above would fit in rather well with my AVBCW forces :).

Hello Dave

Now to take Leon's mind off his troubles (motor/inverter, fractured elbow, waiting for the other shoe to drop) why don't you get him to do some quick snaps of the masters  :D.

Hopefully some some infantry in Adrian, tunic and puttees will be in the next lot. Armies from South America to Asia to Eastern Europe are waiting  :D.

Cheers

Hi Dave, the WW2 French had two distinct helmets - the traditional Adrian and then the new version of the helmet (M35 ?)depicted in the images that was designed for motorised warfare.
