COMING SOON, Nov/Dec.
NEW WWII 1:32 figure collection by EXPEDITIONARY FORCE!
Scott (I assume is the Owner/Director) wrote this report to me today!
Nov/Dec 2014 – 60mm WW2 Germans & Americans
There will be German & American troops, focused on platoon level actions with infantry and appropriate support weapons.
Battalion-level and mechanized models to follow as supplementary sets.
For the US. & German infantry sets, there will be an:
*officer with pistol/sub-machine gun (2 poses)
*squad leader with sub-machine gun (2 poses)
*6 riflemen (6 poses)
*One light machine gunner
(9 models in total)
For the Support Weapons sets:
*Officer with binoculars,
*Medium machine gun team (2 )
*Mortar team (2)
*Anti-tank bazooka team (2 )
*Sniper, and a flame thrower
(9 poses total)
Both the Germans and Americans will be released at the same time, plus appropriate support weapons.
As for late war Germans in smocks and GI in winter clothes, they will be planned for in due course.
I'm actually itching to do US Marines/British Commonwealth vs Japanese first.
British and other troops will be introduced as the range expands.
THAT is EXCITING NEWS!!!

My friend, the lack of common sense is slowly going to kill our hobby.
We do have 3 different 1:32 scales.
*AIRFIX
*21st CENT. TOYS
*TSSD

They are probably the same size as TSSD.
True 1:32 is AIRFIX
TSSD is more like 60mm or 1:30th.

Very nice but just once I'd like to see a German officer wear a HELMET!!LOL.And I'm glad to see they are on decent bases not the Mini-mountains that some companies love so much.

I agree, it would be nice to see more commanders wearing helmets,
but ESCI did it and so did CONTE.
I SUPER AGREE about the bases.
I think mountainous bases are a terrible trend,
beacuse figure bases should always be natural.
They even confuse a figures perceived scale.
I love what these guys are doing, even though they are doing regular infantries, they are filling the gaps with much needed support troops and very fine sculpting.
I can't wait till they start doing more exotic WWII subjects!

ME TOO!
I love ALL WWII, ALL THEATRES!
Especally the really important ones that have NOT been or HARDLY been touched upon!
POLISH INF.
INDIAN INF.
ROMANIAN INF.
FRENCH INF. seriously needs to be revisited and I don't mean those new HING FAT figures.
AUSTRALIAN INF.
The basics!
I'd be happy even if someone only did 6 good poses, HELL, I'll be happy with 4 poses.
That's why I was so critical about the FINNISH set!
I really wanted that gap filled!
I'm going to buy at least two sets, but they could have been more focused.
I believe in EXPADITIONARY FORCE, I hope the owner is rich?
