I agree with Arlin! I have tons of US artillery pieces that have no gunners! I have been stealing from my US Mt artillery, but they won\'t get the job done totally! Some US tankmen would be nice too! With more interesting poses than Hat\'s!

I think that I will keep my powder dry and wait until the figures are seen!
On the positive side it was not yet another Africa Korp set or similar ilk!

Mars did reasonable copies of the ESCI US Infantry and Soviet Paratroops along with a fairly cool conversion of the ESCI Muslim warriors to create the three sets mentioned. The Mujahidin set is quite fun.

Caesar is almost there needing only to make Russian forces and Orion need only make some American soldiers.

I look forward to these new sets and I hope that Strelets may one day reconsider doing modern themed sets.
