Pretty darned good deal really! |

I just wish they would expand the range… Early French is what I need! |

I just wish they would shrink them to match other ranges . Such a shame as they are really good sculpts and very good sets . "Honey I shrunk the soldiers" I wish:) |

Yes, those look HUGE compared to that Stug. I was always disappointed that Valiant chose their own size rather than being anywhere near 1/72. |

If you look at photo's of stugs from the time, you will see that the deck is level with a man's shoulder, so the Valiants are not too far out of scale…. maybe the other companies figures are a bit too short ?? |

Incredibly comprehensive range, engineers and RUSSIANS would be great additions. I base infantry on thin washers and vehicles on thick basswood; helps a little. |

parrskool, Valiant minis are nice, but they are off sacle-wise. Way off. There are many threads on TMP discussing this fact. Some pictures here:

How many of those giant figures would fit inside one of those Stugs?

I need a Marder to use with Valiant Germans – any suggestions? |

Too big I suspect. Valiant suffer from being 25mm (for want of a better phrase – see posts passim) probably need something in "big" 1:72 |

In the photo, the man in the front, closest to us, seems to be scratching his buttocks. What a way to be immortalized in a historical photo!  BTW, those appear to be English climbing on the tanks. Captured weapons? |

Nice photo of a Stug IV. Looks like additional concrete armour around the drivers area. Probably Italy from the other vehicles shown |

BTW, those appear to be English climbing on the tanks. They do look to be British, certainly :) Which means scratching their buttocks seems perfectly in character :) John T |
