I can supply the officer and the shooters, but have no suitable figure for the unfortunate guy to be shot.

I expect the same is true for many of us.

Agree, although I think I could find some sort of "target" guy in my collection.

What would be the purpose of a firing squad in a game?

Jail break?

I could do it, certainly. Plenty of firing figures, officers standing around doing officer stuff and a few bound figures intended for "hostage rescue" scenarios. But the purpose escapes me.

I'm going to need that "deserter" casting. Why don't I just find a 28mm desk, park an officer on the other side of it, declare the fallen-off casting AWOL and let it off with a reprimand or a few days in the cooler?

Agree – I have my fair share of officers and shooters, just no suitable unfortunate waiting to be shot

Officer and squad in manny periods the victim I'm not sure the only one I can think of wouldn be Mongols but archers are not really a ‘fire'ing squad.

BARBARIC idea.
