Not going anywhere near pros and cons, pitfalls and personalities involved but Operation Epic Fury??? Really? If this was a British operation it would have been Operation Quite Annoyed.

If they bring out Col Simmerson, I shall naturally place an order straight away. That’s my style, sir.

Would love a few more French infantry from this range, especially running and casualties, ready to be ambushed by my new 95th Rifles.

Looking forward to a 3-day trip to Arnhem in March. Just time to re-read A Bridge too Far!

Excellent, Mike. Just booked 2 nights in Arnhem in March so looking forward to visiting the drop zones, museums and bridge……and really exited that I’m going on the train!

Some of my favourite figures from K&C and not too big a range. 12”x12” UXB base, damaged house and accessories from JG/Sheffield miniatures.

Nice article on the BBC….hopefully no editing resulting in a $5bn lawsuit! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2kgve7pk0o

One of my favourites as a youngster was “When Saturday Comes” where Sean Bean goes from non-league football to playing for Sheffield United…..and doesn’t get killed! It also starred the great Pete Postlethwaite who went to play another great Sharpe character, Obadiah Hakeswill.

Hello all, K&C kindly popped a desk calendar in my last purchase. It’s a really nice gift so thank you Andy and the team but it’s not something I would use. Happy to pass it on if anyone would like it for a Christmas present. Free postage uk, anywhere else please ask first.

Ordered on Sunday evening in HK and arrived safely today in the UK. Excellent service. No VAT/import/handling fees to pay either which was a result although it does appear a bit of a lottery. Some parcels get through unscathed some don’t….. Might take advantage of it being busy over Christmas...

Just placed an order for a few sets of the new BR figures and some 95th Rifles….took advantage of the $30 discount and fingers crossed they’ll sneak through customs into the UK without any additional tax/handling charge. I’ll wrap them up for Christmas!

Hi, can anyone who has this set possibly run the tape measure over it and let me know the length, height and depth please? Cheers

Great display, thanks for posting. Can I ask where the backdrops are from, they really set it off and give it real depth.

Still play it occasionally 40 odd years later………Boomtown Rats, Tonic for the Troops. All killer, no filler 😀

Still looking for NA135 and NA136 for this display if anyone - preferably UK - has any for sale.
