could add a new colection ,of HELENIC-PERSIAN WARS???
i will be happy if i see ancient HELLENES,
or GREAT EVZONES of 1940,THAT DESTROY AND SETBACK
Italian army,at greek-albanians borders!!
 
I don't know about K&C doing these figures, but East of India does a superior line of Greek Hoplites, and at the Chicago Show Conte had a line of Spartans from Thermoplae on display.

:) LETS MAKE A PROPOSAL TO KING AND COUNTRY,
for the creation of spartans,or wwII GREEKS VS ITALIANS,
KRETANS VS GERMANS??
what do you think???
 
Hi Guys,

Sorry I’ve been away but I’ve got a great excuse…went to Chicago…then to Texas…back to Hong Kong…and then up to China…got back yesterday – and I'm still catching my breath!

Now, onto the latest suggestions…“Ancient Spartans” first of all – good enough idea but, alas, not for K&C. We already produce Ancient Romans and Barbarians plus Ancient Egypt. I think that’s enough old antiquity for one company don’t you?

Another factor, as many of you know, is that Andy likes to do what Andy likes to do. That usually translates into subject matter that historically and militarily appeals to me and, hopefully, something I know a little bit about. “Sparta and the Spartans” I’m afraid is a subject and a period I know virtually nothing about. Although I did see the movie “300 Spartans” many, many moons ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Re the second suggestion for the Greek / Italian Campaign of 1941 – again interesting idea but…not very commercial in my opinion. The most fascinating part of that campaign for me was the German airborne invasion of Crete. And to make that work you need lots of Junker 52’s and gliders. Ooops, what have I said – more demands for aeroplanes – Junkers…Stukas…Messerschmitts…Hurricanes etc…etc.

As most of you know we’re already doing “Fall of France”…“Normandy ‘44”… “Battle of Berlin”…“Iwo Jima”…“North Africa”…to name just a few series that all need “add-ons” in 2007 and beyond. So to cut a long story short don’t, alas, hold your breath waiting for Greeks V. Italians any time soon. Sorry, but I’ll leave that one to Figarti…Honour Bound…New Model Army or anyone else should they choose to accept the mission.

In the meantime it’s back to the salt mines for me.

Best wishes and…happy collecting.

More demands for airplanes? Who could want that? Me, me, me.....

Didn't the Romans and the Egyptians fight each other, Marc Anthony and Cleopatra and all?
How about melding the 2 with that in mind, some egyptian fighting poses and more on the marc and Cleo line?

Andy,i don't suppose that the Normandy add ons might be ...British Paras would they?!.

Rob
 
King and Country never responds to our BRITISH PARAS suggestions. Have you noticed?
I think we should take this as a good sign. He only normally responds when he says no to something. :)


Re Fallshirmjager in kreta. Yes please. We don't need JU52's we need FJ's on the ground at Maleme, fighting to keep a foothold against some good commonwealth troops ( who weren't backed up very well by their leadship)
 
Actually i'm sure Andy did say he would return to the paras but its just doing things in order i suppose.We must keep up our campaign Easy!.I think the battles on Crete would be a great addition to the WW2 range.

I remember a program (churchill and the paratroopers i think it was called)in which a British private described in heart breaking terms how the young German para's wounded and stuck in the (olive?)trees called for their mothers and begged for mercy.However the British troops could show them none and shot them whilst they hung there.He related this with tears in his eyes.What a thing for an 18/19 yr old to have to do.Makes you appreciate the millions of human stories across the world, most of which we will never know that went towards us living in freedom.Totally humbling.

Hi Guys,



I think “nmrocks” must have a spy in K&C’s head office. His suggestion of Cleopatra…Caesar…Mark Anthony is right on the button!



There’s a whole bunch of new / ancient Egyptians in the works either for late 2006 or early 2007. Not fighting though but still very colourful and exciting.



Look out for the two Roman gentlemen and watch this space.



Best wishes and…happy collecting,

Andy C.
