One of the command group has a sten smg – I didn't think 8th army had them. |

Paul,
According to the blurb one of them is carrying a Sterling Gun too. I didn't think any British army in WWII had them. Oh Dear…
But in fairness the company's banner does say: "Quality 28mm figures for skirmish, semi-historical, role playing and Colonial period games."
So with "semi-historical" no breach of the Trade Descriptions Act there then.
Cheers,
Bertie |

You could of course use them for British troops in Palestine post WW2. There were definitely Stens by then and pictures show plenty of early mark helmets in use. |

One of those 'nice Sten Guns' is a 'Stirling' (sic), ffs. Why didn't they give them a Carl Gustav, a GPMG and an SLR or two while they were at it…? |
