Any breakdown of what weapons are in the box? (They look interesting, but the pack size seems a little odd, so it'd help to know how usable they are for other units, and if a platoon needs two sets, or three with lots left over.) |

Hi Dom The blister pack comprises of the following items. Platoon leader 1 x Platoon leader w L85A2 1 x Radio operator w L85A2 / radio Fireteam A 1 x Section Commander w L85A2 / ACOG 1 x Rifleman w L85A2 1 x Grenadier w L85A2 / ACOG / GL 1 x Automatic Rifleman w L11A01 Fireteam B 1 x Fireteam Leader Section's 2nd in Command (2IC) w L85A2 1 x Rifleman L86A2 LSW 1 x Grenadier w L85A2 / ACOG / GL 1 x Automatic Rifleman w L11A01 Extras 2 x Scouts w L85A2 1 x Sniper asset If you want a platoon sized unit (2 sections) you will require two blisters Cheers The Baron |

Many apologies, there are 3-4 additional sculpts to the range that were not painted in time for the photoshoot, I will have that rectified asap. Cheers The Baron |

Grammatically it should be British Royal Marines, they are the Royal Marines (RM). Not the Royal British Marines. Also known as The Royals, those crazy barstewards, bootnecks and various other names by those who have served alongside them. |

Many moons ago I was a sea cadet with two lads (brothers
.) who were firmly intent on joining the forces. One wound up with 42 Commando, and the other joined the paras – now *that* was a friendly rivalry to behold

I used to live in Uxbridge, lets just say my view of the Snowdrops and Rock Apes is somewhat coloured (squadroned!). |
| Jemima Fawr | 26 Jul 2012 10:01 a.m. PST |
I think the RAF would wholeheartedly agree with you! ;o) |

Thanks for the correction Miniatures Rapier, a mere oversight on my behalf. Cheers The Baron |

They look fantastic. Who sells them in Europe? |
| Baron Trapdoor | 26 Jul 2012 11:31 p.m. PST |
Hi Minesp We do not currently have a stockist in Europe, however next week we will be implementing a free postage trial worldwide. I hope it will give customers we cannot reach so easily a good opportunity to acquire some of our goodies. Cheers The Baron flytrapfactory.com |
| Minesp | 27 Jul 2012 5:19 a.m. PST |
Great News, definitively i would acquire some miniatures. The USMC pack comprises a squad,however in the picture there are only 12 men instead of 13. How many miniatures has actually the USMC pack? Also, how many miniatures has the Taliban pack? Any chance to see support weapons in the future? Regards |
| Baron Trapdoor | 28 Jul 2012 6:04 p.m. PST |
Hey Minesp Our packs comprise of 15 miniatures as a rule of thumb, with additional miniatures included for whatever purpose you choose. The Taliban pack included. The line will continue to grow so support weapons will become an option in the future. Cheers The Baron |
