S.E.G.O.M. 50 Boulevard Malesherbes. Paris, France The previously announced series of approximately 1" Figurines de Kriegspiel produced by this firm has been expanded to include dismounted officers and standards for French, Russian, Prussian, Austrian, English, and Highland line infantry, mounted standards of hussars and chasseurs cheval of the guard, and will shortly include French Cuirassiers and Dragoons, and Russian or Austrian cavalry. Best of all, group prices for boxes of figures have been sharply reduced. A gribeauval 12pdr. with four gunners goes for just under $2.00, no, just under $1.50, the $2.00 price is for trumpet, officer, standard and two troopers of cavalry, $1.30 for flag, officer, and 8 foot soldiers. Extra cavalry figures are .35, infantry about .10.

These figures are beautifully designed and very much alive, although not in action positions. The flags ripple backward from the staff and may be painted in full detail. Regrettably, the Austrian officer and standard bearer appear in the post 1811 double bill shako so common to German flat manufacturers while the enlisted musketeer appears in the Raupenhelm. Prussian and Russian, as well as British, troops, are wearing 1811-1815 garb. The French Hussar figures are in 1805-12 shako or colpack, the latter having extra plumes doubling as guard chass it cheval. 13. of the troops of this series are admirably suited for diorama groups.

Airfix Products Ltd. Has been kind enough to forward information on some of the items mentioned last issue in the latest Airfix catalogue. Set No. S37, French Artillery, comprises 52 pieces including three gun crews with gun carriage, limber, sergeant. The box cover shows a cannon with a dark iron or steel barrel, carriage in natural wood, but fairly accurate gunners. It cannot be determined whether the carriage is of split trail pattern. I'm at a loss to interpret the reference to a "limber," as the limbers as normally considered do not occur in the Gribeauval pattern, but it isn't shown in the illustration. Also new is a "High Chapparel" western set, and Russian and British Commando infantry in the 1/32nd (54mm) series. A Centurion Mk 8, and the modern German Standard panzer Leopard and British Chieftain battle tanks have been added to 1/72nd armor offerings. I have a feeling that the last two items will appeal more to armor modellers than wargamers, but the assembled models are quite impressive.
