B&B Miniatures 20mm
Russian Civil War
French Interventionist Troops


The 5 figures in this set (RFI-1) represent the French forces deployed to Russia after WW I. They measure 21.5H Barrett. These troops are a mix of good and bad. Detailing is nice, with fine web gear, reasonable equipment, and weapons. Proportions are somewhat off, though, with short, heavy legs, oversize heads, and anatomically questionable arms. Posing is somewhat two dimensional as well. Painted, I think they'll be adequate, but not spectacular. Contact Brookhurst Hobbies, 12188 Brookhurst St., Garden Grove, CA 92640 -BILL RUTHERFORD

* The Courier uses the Tobey Barrett Measurement [BM] System to simplify comparison of figure sizes. The number is the height in millimeters from the bottom of the figure's foot (top of base) to its eyes. The letter refers to the "heft" of the figure: L=light, M=medium, and H=heavy. Thus, Hs will fit in with other Hs and some Ms, but not Ls.
