By the fall of 1944 the Allies were closing in on Germany and the end to the war in Europe seemed very close. Who would have guessed how much fight the hard pressed defenders of the Reich still had in them...
Aachen, The Hurtgenwald, The Ardenne Offensive and the Rhine Crossings all still laid ahead.

Bravo - superb! Not my series but looks as good as the WWI series I consume. :salute:: That wall has seen some miles...not to mention 200 years{sm4}
 
I agree, these figures look lifelike and have excellent detail.

Wow! Britains returns to World War II and North-West Europe 1944-45 as well - I'm impressed by these US troops. I realise that it makes commercial sense to start with them - hope the Brits will be there eventually though! Is that going to be the central theme of the series - October 1944 onwards? Certainly gives plenty of scope for variety n uniforms and equipment. Hope it won't be too long before these little beauties deploy! Look forward to seeing their German opponents in due course. For the start of the series at least, hope the range concentrates on the ordinary, rather than elite troops on both sides of the front line. Glad I hung on to my FoV vehicles though!
 
Ken, not my era, but very nice sculpts. The WB sculpts seem to be getting better all the time. I especially like the gloves on the one figure. Chris
 
Great looking figures - I wonder if we will see winter Brits. :D

Two weary Fallschirmjager wish were part of the reconnaissance company so they didn't have to walk. Perhaps the Kampfgruppe will be given a ride yet...

An interesting call for wbritains return to ground troops in WW2. I heard from a least one wbritains dealer that ww2 and knights were two missing parts of the product line. Due to the weak Cdn dollar and the fact like many of you on the board, I have stocked up on K&C BoB, market garden and fall of berlin series plus limited space, I will be passing on the line. Still an interesting development for wbritains..

I really like the Fallschirmager - this new line is looking better and better! Is the schwimwagen one from the FoV range?
 
No, it is one of the new W. Britain vehicles...
Pictures soon.

Hope Ken doesn't mind it was on his FB page so you can't get more public than that i suppose,and a close up of the U-Boat crew.

Gee, that schwimwagen does look good! Can't wait to see what else rolls out of the WBritain's shed!

It does look good it could tempt me into WW2, just hope there will be some WW1 vehicles in the pipeline too

The Viking range unfortunately is one that I will have to get:smile2:. The new WWII line is looking good and I'll will hope to have a good look at them in London, I suppose they'll be in the autumn catalogue.

Love the U-boat crew - the facial detail on them are amazing, nearly life-like. Well done Britains:salute::
