"These pre-cut stickers are laminated and so you can write, erase and re-write with a water-based marker some information as squad number, skill, abilities etc… in the little blank circles. Upcoming sticker sheets will be national flags, famous corps, divisions or regiments logos and why not, for other rulesets and periods.Now available on Ebay at 8 Pounds each sheet of 24 stickers…" See here auction Amicalement Armand

wow, that would be great to start up skirmish gaming without having to get all of your figures painted up. Thanks!

Good to see that they are "Height Resistent".

I don't know. When I saw the Americans I thought "those are real people who served." I am not sure how I would feel if I saw my father's picture used this way.

are they? or are they from movies and tv shows? It is not clear, but I understand your point.

Glad you enjoyed them boys!. (smile) I don't think they are for real vets… Amicalement Armand

The only 2 i recognise are both from published sources depicting WWII servicemen. Why wouldn't they be? There are thousands upon thousands of out of copyright images from WWII showing individuals faces. Why would you go to the trouble of paying a TV/film company when you could just print these? I'm fairly certain these are nearly if not all contemporary photos of serving soldiers. "I don't know. When I saw the Americans I thought "those are real people who served." I am not sure how I would feel if I saw my father's picture used this way." and?…so you'd be ok with them just being pictures of German or Soviet soldiers? What's really the problem here? If it was my relative I'd be more likely to be happy that his service was celebrated in some small way, proud even. If this genuinely bothers you then perhaps wargaming as a hobby is not for you, period.

I am not comfortable with using the image of anyone who actually served, any nationality. It's fine if you think that the phrase Cannon Fodder celebrates a relative's service in some small way, I prefer to use the National WWII Memorial and the National Museum of the U.S. Army.

I missed the cannon fodder bit too…. Odd choice of title to say the least for a product, sadly, very accurate, but odd nonetheless.
