Does anyone make a complete line of squad and platoon-level 25/28mm US figures? By this I mean figures armed with: - M16
- M4
- above with M203
- M249 SAW
- M240 or M60 GPMG (bi-pod mounted, not tripod)
- AT4 or SMAW Readily available from US source? I looked at TAG but they're missing the bi-pod mounted GPMG. (and their helmets look a little odd.) If not available in 25/28, then 20mm? (other than Liberation miniatures) MB |

Hmm by modern are you after 1980s, 1990s or 2000 plus? MOFO sold through Gripping Beast have Yank Rangers for Black Hawk down era kit 1993 IIRC-IN 28mm |

The MOFO figures look great! Only problem is no AT-4/SMAW. |

I will have the Heavy MG crewmen and a US 81mm mortar soon and individual small arms packs as well including the SMAW, and AT4. |

At the squad and platoon level you're very unlikely to see an 81mm mortar crew in a firefight! I strongly recommend that you add the M240 and/or M60 before adding the mortar. They're far more likely to show up in squad and platoon level actions. I also love the squad-packaging and photos!!! Well done! MB |

Stan, bless you if you're coming out with a M240! Forget the M60 unless it is for a museum display. How about a set of figures with ACOGs on theier M4s? |

Another vote here for optics on the weapons for "Modern" infantry. These sighting systems have been available to armies for at least a decade. One can hardly have current small unit infantry engagements using certain troops, without at least some of their weapons being so equipped. |

Stan's figures are excellent! |

Black Scorpion's are quite nice and cover everything you listed and more. Got mine from the War Store. |
