To represent the British tommy in the game it is a difficult choice. The game manufacturers do produce some British infantry, but they are dressed for the desert campaigns. Fortunately I had a couple of boxes of the latest Airfix production, which was their rather odd WW2 British Infantry set. I had no other use for these figures and so decided to paint some of them for use in some of the scenarios. Strangely some of the figures are wearing their gas mask container on their chests, B.E.F. style, yet they have PIATs, which are late war items.
Anyway, splashed some paint on them, based them and here they are:
The last group to be painted will be some US airborne troops. I have a number of choices but in the end settled on ESCI figures, largely because I have plenty in my spares box!
