oh, that could cost me money…

Could do with some rifes with bayonets, seems the WW1 Germans in other ranges are modeled without bayonets as well

Ok, tempted.

Lots of optional sprue or metal pieces would really increase versatility.

Providing steel helmets for later war would also make the set more versatile. My research indicates that the buttoned tunic continued to be used right up to wars end.

Agree HammerHead, Jerry used the bayonet as much as any other nation, and their tactics dictated rush tactics and the bayonet.
Cheers liking this idea

Pan, you can have Germans in the spiked helmet in 1916 don`t know how long it took to issue troops with the steel ones. I keep coming across that troops on both sides liked
older equipment, marked them out as veterans.Or at least survivors!
Zorgon, don`t know why figures come without bayonets keeps happening.

Pretty decent looking sculpts, but sounds like there won't be much in the way of extra modelling options (other than two extra heads).

8 to a frame how many frames per box……?

Big Martin Back13 Nov 2014 4:42 a.m. PST

Interesting. But do I really want to do early WW1 in yet another scale?

Does it really matter? Your average wargamer will probably buy enough boxes to field a whole company.

Might need a few to top up a unit, heaven knows there are enough new WW1 German figures out there to buy. I would have liked to seen a box of Russians or Turks.
