World War 1 Swedes? Why not? Only issue is shipping from US. Would they be available from a retailer in the EU? |

MotttheHoople: This is just a small private commisioned range. I can't afford a retailer. But send me an email and we can maybe solve the problem: bjorn_floderus@yahoo.se |

oh I thought this was the start of a joke :) Me too! :-) Interesting subject. I have no use for Swede soldiers now, but I never know which wargaming ideas could come to me. It looks a so peaceful country that you could imagine horrible Pulp adventures somewhere in these deep forests :-) When I attended Reserve officer course in the French artillery (quite a long time ago) we had a simulator to train with. There were pictures of landscapes on a screen and we had to calculate targets. I don't remember if the simulator was Swedish-made or why, but I remember well that some of the pictures were Swedish landscapes. Pine-trees everywhere on the picture and NOTHING ELSE! an artillery observer's nightmare. |
