In the Skytrex 'COMMAND DECISION 15MM WWII' there are quite a few packs of figures listed as '15mm WW11 Western Desert Italian 50 Man Figure Packs'and '15MM WW11 WESTERN DESERT ITALIAN 10 MAN FIGURE PACKS'

Has anyone any experience with these figures? I find that the photographs on the skytrex site are extremely limited in quality.
Specifically;
There are two 50 men packs of riflemen – do you know how these differ? Any idea how many different figures there are in each pack? between the two packs?

Any idea how they work scale wise with other figure brands? They don't appar to inldue any light mortars.

Nice work, Zagloba !

Thanks very much Zagloba. Much appreciated.

They do look good, but does anyone have any feeling as to how they scale with other ranges?

I purchased the entire range of bags, apart form the mortars as I already had an old FOW Battlefront box of Italian mortars and some Peter Pig Italian HMG and light mortars. The Command Decision troops fit in really well with Peter Pig and are acceptable with Battlefront – particularly the older type Battlefront figure – they do far less well with the newer and larger Battlefront figure and I wouldn't bother mixing them. The newer plastic Battlefront Eyeties might be worth a look see, but they appear to be all in steel helmet – Boo!!
