Hoping for an update as to when we can expect those "coming soon" packs in the Blue Moon World War One range. Been a couple of years, and I would like to add a few casualties and guns to the American infantry I have.

Thanks!

Old Glory has a peculiar idea of the word 'soon'. I gave up on their soon a decade ago. Sigh. BTW I am a huge supporter of OG, so I say this with all kindness.

I just wish blue Moon had chosen a standard size – 15 or 20mm (preferred) rather than go their own way way 18mm?? I`d have bought loads, but they don`t match with anything I own :(

That's why I have never bought any. Typical tactic of some companies that will pick an odd size that doesn't work with anything else so you have to keep buying their products. Wait till you start to find terrain that works with 18mm.

They should have just done them in 15mm and/or 28mm. I would have signed up for that.

So the odd size is to capture the market… which then they don't fully exploit because they don't complete the ranges as promised? Baffling.

18mm does match up with AB Napoleonics, though.

Also, 18mm is often quoted to be 1/87 scale, though a lot of modern '15mm' stuff is using 1/100 and 180cm adults.

Lancashire games also have 18mm WW1 figures, I like them , but not enough to buy them.

In this case I suggest reading "Coming Soon" as "Planned"
