DCLI ended up in Holland right? so I could go for German paras.<br /><br />If you really want to keep the costs down we could do it in 1/72(20mm)one box of valiant miniatures for a tenner will give you all the figures you need plus spares.Jon Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08243736736389249361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060774784000500705.post-30583758234127386582010-02-03T18:58:38.353+00:002010-02-03T18:58:38.353+00:00Jon,

They don't look bad at all no rules for tanks but as this is a platoon level set that's no bad thing. you only need 20-30 figures (which is a bonus). I sold all my 28mm ww2 but I'm very tempted to get some more Crusader miniatures are actually doing Rate of fire box sets for around £20 with everything you need for a platoon. Happy to give them a go if you want to try before you buy. <br /><br />JonJon Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08243736736389249361noreply@blogger.com
