Cool set, one which I'll probably pick up. IMO it's just a pity they (DML) went for the occupation as opposed to the invasion of '41. But of course my opinion is skewed due to my current (& unfruitful) search for invasion figures :D Thanks Jim Rudi

&:) The CG images look good. I hope the actual product is as good. Slowly but surely we are getting some useable injection molded Italian figures. I'll definitely get this one. I'm hoping for an exclusive set of non-North African Theater Italian figures. This is a great start. Jeff [:::]

Guys, I am afraid I am not so impressed of them like you. It seems to me that since Ron Volstad ceased to suggest figures by his amazing artworks, the quality felt down.

I think this is a very imaginative set.....actually. IMHO.... The Italian trooper is giving the German officer "what-for" and the other German soldiers are kind of stunned / amused that anyone would talk to an officer that way...but not stunned enough to drop the fruit or ammo and come to the officer's aid. I think it's a nice set of figures and will definitely buy it. :-H Jeff

Ah Rudi, how could I resist. :D I like this set too and Carlos has done another superb rendering. Any time another nation's uniform gets modeled should be cause for celebration. I've been involved with more than 160 figure sets with Dragon over 20 years and of those, probably 95% were based on my drawings. Dragon chose the subject (often from suggestions I offered and it was left to me to develop the content including poses. That amounts to well over 600 figures designed so you might und...

Cool set, I would buy this just for the 'Wolf of Tuscany' italian soldier. I can't quite make out his insignia - is he an alpine trooper? Notice one German has a mermite can, so obviously his Italian comrade is complaining about the crappy chow. No comparison with italian food !

Tarok SAID
Haha, I knew it Ron! :D Okay, so I wasn't entirely wrong :D The subject still originated from the vendor, but the rest was up to you - with the usual creative to and fro'ing ;)
