so trying to get some figs for gaming Bulge or winter-time Italy. looking for figs on the small side of 20mm (e.g. close to Matchbox 1/76). does anybody make GIs with the brown overcoats?
German regular infantry in greatcoats? Thanks, Dan |

Britannia Miniatures may be your best bet. Not to everyone's taste, but I like them… link |

Have you looked at the AB Germans in greatcoats and also in winter camouflage? link |

While AB are nice (I have some) they are at the larger end of the spectrum, hence the recommendation for Britannia to fit in with the OPs requirements |

Thanks for references. I've bought some AB before and they are just too close to 20mm or 1/72. definitely bigger than Matchbox. |

What you want are SHQ
link or maybe FAA |

Brittannia are pretty big. SHQ are 1/76th though. |

Definitely SHQ Miniatures if you want figures on the smaller side of 20mm. |

Wargames Foundry fo WW2 US in great coats in 20mm. They are a range sculpted by the Perry twins, so nice figures. I have a platoon in my 20mm US army and they are nearly as good as the AB figures and a little smaller link And Germans as well:

ah, yes, forgot about SHQ. Yes, definitely good options for Germans in greatcoats. Did not see any Americans in greatcoats however. I"ll check out Wargames Foundry |

Question: how do Wargames Foundry compare in size to SHQ? |
