As part of there Darkest Africa line the Foundy has released a line of 25 mm Masai warriors and an Askari mountain gun. The darkest africa line is so extensive, its hard to know where to begin. There are some 51 packs so far in Darkest Africa 1 and Darkest Africa 2 is due in "early 1999". The figures measure 27M, BM. and the prices are as mentioned above from the same address. A good Web Page with a fairly complete catalog ishttp://www.icenter.net/~gisby/. Great Stuff. More Courier Reviews

Briefly the number is the height in Millimeters from the bottom of the figure's foot (top of the base) to it's eye. The letter refers to the "heft" of the figure: L = Light; M = Medium;; and H = Heavy. H will fit well with other H and somewhat with M but not at all with L even in the same scale. thus a 27 M is a larger 25mm figure of Medium Heft.
