So far as I have been able to ferret out the following make figures and vehicles for Iraq and Afghanistan covering the last 6 years or so:

Liberation
Platoon 20
Stan Johanson
Brevet (sort of, as they're 18mm)
Wartime
Revell- plastic
Caesar- plastic

Does anyone know of any others?

What about that Bravo Team line available only at Target – only $4.99 USD a vehicle.

The "diecast" mfrs like Forces of Valor, Dragon, etc., make vehicles.

Brevet's (or Flashpoint if you will) stuff is very nice, but it shouldn't be included in your list unless that's the ONLY one you will use. They won't match any of the others even remotely. They would be WAY too small.

thanks lawofthegunmk2,
we do indeed make a lot of 20mm vehicles for modern conflicts from pick up trucks to main battle tanks, as well as figures, vehicle crews, stowage, food, and other terrain items.
if you would like a price list
please email me
sales@sandsmodels.com
thanks

Nazrat,

They are Brevet, not Flashpoint. They were purchased from Flashpoint by Siege Works Studios but never released since Siege Works is a 15mm house. Brevet then bought the non-15mm range from Siege Works.

Mars makes Muhajadin fighters (converted ESCI). Orion makes plastic Chechen fighters, some of which may be suitable for your use.

Thanks all, there are some great companies there!

I recommend the Bravo Team and Forces of Valour vehicles. They're cheap, pre-painted (may need some additional weathering), and available for land and air vehicles. Always need a Blackhawk to support the troops and an Apache to take out some armor.

YEah the BRavo Team helos are only $9.99 USD at Target.
