Hello to all! I'd appreciate your advice on makers of 15mm Far East Commonwealth figs, as one of my friends wants to run some Malaysia games, we both have tons of Japanese figs, just need the Commonwealth now! Thank you in advance! |

Sorry, just checking, but do you mean for the Malaya campaign? (Malaysia was a different war – it didn't exist in WWII.) If so, it was before the British got sensible jungle greens – British troops in the Malaya campaign are easily represented by 8th Army (ie. desert kit) figures. |

Hi Dom,
oops…
not sure which battles/campaigns he is planning on,
but probably is Malaya,
8th army figs sound good,
thank you for the input! :) any good recommendations for companies that make them? |

Peter Pig's XIV Army range is lovely |

Eureka miniatures has some nice lines in 15mm for Malaya. |

PP's XIV kit is nice, but not suitable for Malaya. 8th Army stuff is OK and – if memory serves – can be found with suitable hats for various Indian, Gurkha and Scottish units. Don't know if you can get Lanchester armoured cars for the Argylls though! |

Peter Pig 8th Army would be my go to, but Battlefront's are one of their better infantry ranges, and have very nice Indian troops too. QRF do a Lanchester. link |

Peter Pig or Forged in Battle 8th Army would be my choice. |

Minifigs WW1 range provides infantry in shorts and pith helmet. Rifles are a bit long, but they do look good for Empire troops. |
