It's a start I guess. I'd like to see some infantry with the Tommy helmets.

Agreed on the helmets. BTW, has anyone seen the Chinese set in a storefront? Surprisingly I am looking forward to these. That is a sure sign we need more repaints or a hurry up on that Spitfire.

Glad to see some new Brits in non-north african uniforms! I recall pictures of these on one of the playset boxes from a couple years ago, ironically with the words "Coming Soon"

For the flat helmets we have two sets already. I'm happy to see some NW Europe (Arnham?) figs to go along with my Fireflies.

the 'flat helmets' were the regular infantry helmet. These are paratroopers and have a more domed helmet, with no brim to it.

Still Americans!

Still! There are already 4 or 5 sets of them ... will prefer Russians set 2!

Eh, agreed!

There is next to nothing in 32nd scale Russians. While I would love to add to my ETO Yanks, I think some commies'd be fantastic!

The Brits are welcome, more Americans are good also. But I would like to have seen maybe another set of Russians, Romanian troops would be cool for early war. Also have we forgotten about those Marines? I hope we see news about those next.
