"Which unusual WWII era army would you like to see in 15mm?" Topic

Please vote in my poll to choose which force you'd most like to see in a scale compatible with FoW and other popular 15mm WWII rules sets. Thanks.

I just did. Thanks, Khurasan Miniatures, and good luck!

Yow, nasty website you're using for polls. It took my Firefox, flung it around, and spit it back out!

(OK, well, it launched a few extra windows, took a tour of all my open windows, then I found I couldn't see what I typed any more until I turned off Firefox… and when I turned it back on, my window settings were messed up.)

And I've got fairly decent "protection" against that sort of thing…

Yeah, I run IE and I had no problems either.

Hopefully your computer wasn't compromised, Bill.

By the way, my other choice (tied with what I selected) is the third entry in your poll.

Got popups. Using IE7 and a good protection suite.

Tripod = evil.

Still voted, though.

Voted, Firefox survived the process fine…

Same problem here with Firefox. Popups all over the place.

Not funny.

Firefox.

Opened.

No pop-ups.

No warnings like when I do (with IE) research on web at work.

voted.

4th place, bummer.

Back to 6/00th 0r 1/300th.

Yawn. Up early to go to Soulard Market.

Gracias,

Glenn

Correction.

One popup (behind this window.)

Netflix.

Gracias,

Glenn

Voted.
The most popular choice. Cool!

I think it's the poll code that is causing the popups, not tripod. I pay for Tripod so it does not carry the adware that Free Tripod carries.

If anyone has any freeware pollcode they'd like to share, I'm all ears. (All eyes?)

BTW, does anyone make Chinese for the 1930s? If not, and the Japanese in China in the 1930s win, and I make them, I guess I'd 'ave to make the Chinese too.

Personally I like Chaco the most and may end up making it anyway, but I will prolly bow to the will of the people.

There was a manufacturer that made 15mm Chinese Civil War miniatures some time back, but I believe they're out of business and the molds are lost. I particularly remember a pack called the "Dog Meat General", or something colorfully similar.

I voted for the Chaco War, but did you realize that you can vote more than once on your poll, Khurasan Miniatures?

I think I will pass on the poll.
I do not usually enter a town with a lot of gunfire.

What do you know! You can!

Chicago election time fantasy!

Gracias,

Glenn

No pop-ups, no problems with Safari.

I voted for the Sino-Japanese conflict as much for the prospect of Chinese figures as Japanese.

No pop ups, no problem!

Eureka makes a nice selection of 1930's-40's Chinese Nationalists and Communists.

Abyssinians had my vote, but I would pretty much buy anything on the list. Would also love to see someone do Slovak's in 15mm!

Thank you so much for pointing that out, Cold Warrior! One less thing to worry about.

but did you realize that you can vote more than once on your poll, Khurasan Miniatures?

I can't. I get a message that says, We're sorry, you've already voted in this poll! when it rolls over to the results page.

Odd, no problem voting again this time either. That's three. One might have been as warbeads but definitely two as same id.

Somewhere there is a security leak…

Does the poll tally who votes for what (it's an option on Yahoo group polls…) in the results?

Gracias,

Glenn

Wait, warbeads got an error message – little tiny type at the top of the page.

Gracias,

Glenn

What error message was that?

OK. My bad:

We're sorry, you've already voted in this poll!

Voted. No problems, as Mac OS X fried any pop-ups before they even got within visual range…

Voted, with firefox wed page opened right up, took the vote, opened the results page. No popups no problems. Sounds like Bill needs to play with his browsers settings alittle bit

Firefox voted no popups etc.

By the way I added the Japanese in China because people often say that the Japanese available are only in tropical kit. I just looked at some sources and the Japanese in China don't look all that different in normal campaign uniform and equipment, only wearing instead the steel helmet without cloth cover on it. (Winter is different, but most campaigning happened in warmer weather.)

Am I missing something? Thanks.

Italian-Abyssinian War Italians in colonial uniforms, and Italian Askaris and other native troops would have uses in the WW2 East African campaign (for the Eritreans and Somalis) and North Africa (Libyans and Italians in tropical kit).

Many of the Italian colonial troops wore very colourful and interesting uniforms, and also, having figures like this would make it possible to recreate the early desert war battles up to Beda Fomm, and the 1941 East African campaign.

I don't think there are any other 15mm ranges with a good range of 30s and 40s Italian colonial troops, at least, last time I looked (a while ago) at the Flames of War range only some Bersaglieri with tropical helmet, no infantry, blackshirts, Alpini etc. were available, and no colonial troops at all.

Looks like it's going to be Korean War. Followup question -- winter or summer uniforms?
