This came about from those dreadful dried Vesta meals.

I still have a hankering after those......Once every few years.....But not since I blamed one of those for causing an allergic reaction (?) and making the roof, and back, of my mouth  'blow up'.

Mrs T had to drive me to casualty, with me with my head bent forward, because the swelling at the back of my throat was causing the uvula (the dangly bit in the roof of your mouth) to expand so much it was going down my throat and making me retch, all the time.

Scared the cr*p out of me !.......But.......All I had to do, was gargle with freezing cold water to take the swelling down.
At the time I didn't put it down to the Vesta meal......But when it happened again, after another...I thought that was too much of a coincidence, and haven't touched one since.

I think there should be some sort of field kitchen (with curry on the menu obviously!) made for all the appropriate ranges 

Curreh! Curreh, everywah! 



I love curry me....

Lots of interest from me, for the 1950s - 1980s, e.g. Americans, West Germans, Cold War British (essentially the same as Falklands, though would like to see some prone troops), Danes, Soviets, East Germans, etc., etc.

Some of the above can just use US uniforms and helmets I suspect, but with different weapons, e.g. G3 rifle, MG3, and Panzerfaust 44 for the Bundeswehr; Danes, etc..

US kit, and helmets also work for many other nations too - sometimes with communist supplied weaponry.

US Vietnam troops can be used for much of the Cold War, though I'd like to see an expansion on the figs available for them.

See my Want List for prone troopers with various weapons.  Appears the Falklands Argentine Prone Sapper can be modified for many of them, by ditching the bayonet and giving him a rifle, machine gun, or anti-tank weapon.
