Naval Infantry … always fun to play with. I wonder who is the best?

Don't tell 'im pike! Do Bolt Action have special rules for their characters? |

Scenario options get better:
Add some Commando and RN sailor figures and it'll be a classic. |

Gotta get these. My upcoming Last levy force need them! Great figures, full of character, and cool for Pulp and RPG stuff too. |

My mind went here…

Yes, was just thinking of that. I've programmed Land That Time Forgot as part of a season of SF films here. Showing as a matinee this Sunday! |

German Seaman. Looks good – and great for the Doug Mclure movie! Outside that, how often were naval infantry used – Norway when those destroyers were bottled up by Warspite? Any other examples? (However…the inner 14 year old me is still snickering at "German Seaman".) |

You always need German sailors and these look great. In fact mine are on there way now. Good job guys. |

I know I'm the kind of customer that makes manufacturers gnash their teeth in rage and frustration because nothing is ever good enough, but I feel as if there are too many submariners in that pack. Especially when you consider Brigade Games ( link , link and link ) and Artizan ( link and link ) already do submariners. What I'd like to see is naval infantry in the double-breasted jacket. These would be more proper for Danzig, Dieppe, Norway. I freely admit to being an early-war geek. That said, these figures are great for defense of Berlin, and I'll probably wind up buying them. |

"The land that Time forgot, "one of my favorite movies. Shooting dinosaurs with an MP-18. Wrong war for these bolt action figures, but some of them could be used. The ones noted above by Jeff would be better. nevertheless I will get this set to use for some German volunteers in the VBC W, or perhaps for a skirmish game against dad's Army in the very early WW2 period. I also might put them to work in my skull Island game. My favorite line from TLTTF, "You can never go back " |
