I got Willie and Joe (and Chucky and Sapp) from BTD.

What about Chesty Puller (he was a brave Marine)? Tojo, Hirohito, Konoe, and Anabuki. The Forest Brothers. Ira Hayes.

Also, my uncles Junior, Milton, and Ben.

Private – I had dismounted Rat Patrol figs from Regiment Games. Pontoonier, and now Badger Games, bought me out but they don't carry that line yet. They should have my old stock …you could try to contact them. Brigade Games has some Rat Patrol types in vehicles.

Sven Hassel and his bunch of ne'er-do-wells of the 27th Panzer Regiment.

Company B has Rat Patrol, and there are some nice ones on Shapeways too.

Winston Smith25 Feb 2019 8:36 p.m. PST

Audie Murphy.

+1 28mm Fanatik, Sven Hassel, Tiny, Porter, the Old Man and the rest would be great :)

Galeazzo Ciano dressed as an Italian pilot. When his Greek war went bad, Mussolini had a number of high ranking Fascists called up to show that they were supporting the war.

Other Bill Mauldin characters we could use include the cavalry sergeant, Willie's nephew, and the Brit who complained about them leaving a messy battlefield

Some minor leaders as targets for special forces raids: Vidkun Quisling, Francois Darlan, General Kreipe, or Georgios Tsolakaglou.

Both Chesty and "Manilla John" Basilone have been done on limited issue by Bolt Action. A local gamer has the Chesty figure and it is spot on. I have only seen pics of the John Basilone figure. He is carrying a water cooled Browning. Good likeness.

If we are talking about fictional characters. I would want the entire cast from the TV Show "Combat". All the characters from "Kelly's Heroes" which I am sure someone already makes. Cast from "Band of Brothers" and the "Pacific". Can't forget "McHale's Navy" if you have PT Boats. The "Rat Patrol" cast would be neat to have.

For battlefield commanders:

Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque, Free French.

Stanisław Maczek, 1st Polish Armoured Division.

Vladimir Peniakoff, aka Popski.
(I'm pretty sure I've seen a David Sterling out there already)

Marcel Marceau,
A participant in the French Resistance, I assume he didn't require a silencer.

All the characters from "Kelly's Heroes" which I am sure someone already makes. Cast from "Band of Brothers" and the "Pacific".

Quite a lot of the Kelly's Heroes and Band of Brothers characters available from Warlord and Stoessi's Heroes. Be nice to see the rest. Cross of Iron is quite well covered too, by 1st Corps and Empress.
I would like to see some of the Eagle has Landed characters, so far only a Steiner figure from Warlord.
