There are paratroops, regular infantry, and not only are there US, German, Russians, British but U.S. Marines and Japanese as well. This company has a wide range of figures. They have just released Germans and Russians in Great Coats, and Finns with skis. The figures have a realistic look. These are good figures.

Some of the figures are undersized at 23L on the Barret scale, especially the original Waffen SS. I also have some Russians and U.S. infantry, which are the same size. I understand they are redoing the SS Infantry, making them larger, and they are now released. I, of course, have the older SS figures. The older SS are small enough that I am using them as teenagers.

The packs the figures come in will normally be a squad of infantry with mixed weapons and some command or heavy weapons, or you can get heavy weapons only or specialty packs. Figures are packaged 15 per bag.

I have special ordered from this company, ordering packs of U.S. light machineguns and heavy machineguns (M2 .50 cal) on vehicle pintle mounts. Service was by telephone and very good. Figures include gun crews and vehicle crews.

The figures do mix in with the slightly larger Black Tree Design and Foundry figures. I may also have one or more of their U.S. Marines which were mixed in with their U.S. Army figures. At least I have two figures without shirts.

*These BH riflemen may be USMC figures inadvertently mixed into a bag of US Army troops, or I accidentally purchase a bag of Marines. Otherwise, why are there no shirts?
