He provided a couple of 15mm German WWII North Africa figures out of the bag, as well as sending a couple stands of painted British and Germans: British and German commands and British and German infantry. As you can see, there's a mix of postures showing figures in motion and at rest, in helmet and soft cap, in shorts and long pants. I like the position of the officers, especially the Brit firing what appears to be a flare gun to start an attack. Radiomen are evident, although the Brit radioman appears to be carrying a blunderbuss (little over scale, that gun). Other than that, they're good 15mm figures--put a few thousand on the tabletop for Tobruk or El Alamein, and you'd have a grand battle. The figures generally stand 16-17mm from sole of foot to eye. Prices are $3.75 per 8 foot or 4 cavalry figures (15mm) and $1.35 per $25mm foot or $3.25 per 25mm cavalry figure. Napoleonic Battalion bags are 24 foot figures for $7.95. Bargain bags are $15.75 for 50 foot figures or $17.95 for 25 cavalry figures or specialty packs (elephants, chariots, etc).

While at Historicon, I spoke a bit with Kai Weaver, the new owner of The Quartermaster, who is revitalizing Falcon Miniatures and its extensive line of Napoleonics, WWII, Ancients, Medieval, and other figures in 15mm and 25mm.
