I thought you might be interested in knowing that Jack Alexander (one of the earliest figure designers, who based his 20mm metal figures on the early Airfix plastic figures) has introduced a completely new range of 20mm figures representing the American Punitive expedition into Mexico 1916/17 (Pancho Villa). I am pleased to say that the infantry and cavalry figures are now ready for sale, and I am pleased to attach a list of available figures:
PUNITIVE EXPEDITION IN MEXICO
AMERICANS
INFANTRY
PEA1 ADVANCING
PEA2 FIRING
PEA3 STANDARD BEARER

PEA9 TROOPER, STANDARD BEARER
PEA10 HORSE AT TROT WITH SWORD AND CARBINE TO ATTACH
(All figures cost £0.45 GBP each, except PEA10 which costs £0.50 GBP.)

(All figures cost £0.45 GBP each.)
The artillery pieces: Erhardt gun, French 75mm gun, motorcyclist, and a U.S. colt machinegun plus limbers will be due very shortly. Jack points out that the Japanese WWI infantry double nicely as Mexican regular army figures, and the Boer war range of mounted figures are useful extra figures for the American cavalry.
Pictures should be up on our website very soon as usual, but meanwhile you can see some very nice pictures on The Old Metal Detector blog under 'jacklex' or Jack Alexander. This blog is all about 20mm figures. These figures are very similar to the usual Jacklex style - the sombreros are great!
