Hey TKO211,

I think that while 21st is at it a nice box set of figures would be one of the WWII Ghurkas which were a really good fighting unit in the Burma / Pacific Thearther.

along those lines we can get some:
Ghurkas

Ghurkas would rock. They could double as Fillipino guerillas and many other possibilities. My dad had Ghurkas serve with him as base guards in Korea---he said they would play a game, who can come home with the most ears. Very fierce fighters, I am all about it.

Well, what about the NZ Maori Batallion, those dudes were very much feared by the Germans!

here is a quote from the above site
How were the Maori regarded by other Allied soldiers and the enemy they faced ?
The Maori Battalion was held in high regard by both their fellow Allied soldiers and the enemy they faced. Their prowess was acknowledged by allies and enemies alike. A fellow NZ soldier was heard to say of them : "I'd rather fight the German's any day than have to clash with the Maori." The Maori often used very dangerous but very unexpected tactics and despite the fact that some people may have looked down on them for being a "lesser" race, it would have been hard to query their enthusiasm or bravery. The Maori Battalion had a horrendous number of casualties, yet this was not because they were bad fighters. They simply gave everything they had, and so they were admired and feared by most.

Also, for those interested, some further info about NZ/Maori involvement at Monte Cassino here http://www.mod.uk/aboutus/history/monte ... ecass4.htm
