Looking for the best proxy for the above: perhaps POL10?
I've barely started my 10mm Russians (and am shamefully far behind on finishing my Germans) but since I'll be asking Leon if he'll do me a bag of artillery men shortly, I plan on using a couple of the crouching gunners and one of the kneeling officers as an artillery observer base, once I get that far.
The kneeling figure from this set would be a good candidate, as he is looking at a map on the floor.
