"15mm North Africa" Topic

I am looking to start my hobby by purchasing miniatures for North Africa (ww2).

I will need Italian, German, British, Aussie, Indian units in 15mm.

I like FOW vehicles but find the soldiers not very lifelike. Where should I shop for more lifelike 15mm miniatures?

Germans appropriate to North Africa can also be found in the Resistant Roosters range.

My 15mm WWII forces, configured for FoW and BFE:WaW, are a mix of Battlefront/Flames of War, Old Glory 15s/Battle Honors, Old Glory/Command Decision, and, er, Dream Pod 9. Did I mention I freely slip into Weird World War II?

I looked at Resistant Roosters, as one of the local stores has some on the rack, but the mix they had wasn't what I was looking for.

We have a selection of vehicles, but no infantry (yet)

In terms of infantry, Peter Pig is arguably the better of the bunch. Lots of variety for North Africa. OG/CD and OG15/QC are good and more affordably priced with either the OG Buyer's club discount or the OG15's qty discount.

Best of all, all the lines of 15mm infantry can be more or less mixed together, depending on your sensitivity to such things. OG/CD probably the tallest figures, PP probably the "heftiest" and best sculpts, Eureka's are good sculpts but on the smallish size, particularly their weapons.

I'm currently working up a WWII Soviet partisan unit mixing Battlefront and Eureka partisans. Wait til the Germans with dogs on leash and fleeing civilians from BF meet the accordion-wielding partisans from Eureka!

It's a few years old, but the players haven't changed much…

If nothing else it will give you sourcing info.
