The more I look at these pics, the more I am impressed by the outstanding paintwork. The heraldry on the Jerusalem, Outremer, and the French knights are all really well done. The price point on these is very reasonable considering the high standard of paintwork. Noah

Being the assistant gunner in a LMG crew would be hard enough. Being the assistant gunner in a LMG crew and holding the business end of a MG-42 next to your skull would have been agonizing!{eek3} Noah

Mike, thanks for such an informative post. You have just helped explain why so many units in the AWI or ACW were able to maneuver through corn fields and not become hopelessly broken up. Having read about regiments fighting through cornfields, I had always thought it would be a disaster to try...

Simply amazing work on these! The fall forest scene is superb, especially the expoxy detailing on the trees. The first shot of the French farm house and barn looks like a real picture! If I didn't know better, I would never guess it is a model.{bravo}} Noah

I, too, am impressed by this vignette. Not only is it very well done and spot on with the artwork which inspired it, but it also represents an interesting 'new direction' for First Legion. While I am sure we will still see plenty of great 'regimental' releases, small vignettes like this one...

Joe, it is great to hear how you had an enjoyable time with your kids. On top of that, you picked up quite an impressive array of figures. You should be very happy with your varied selections. Can't wait to see how those FL Vietnam figures go with Figarti's excellent Huey. Not to be too...

Thanks Mike for posting pics of your new aquisitions so quickly. Both the Delawares and the 13th Alabama look really good and you always do such a great job of displaying them. You should be happy with all your new purchases! Noah

Following up on what Mike said, I do have to mention the excellent leather caps on these figures. First Legion did a great job on them, as the detail is very well done. If you look close, you can make out the masted ship on the top of the cap face and the sheath of wheat in the middle of the...

Pete, you haven't missed anything. As Mike said, we are all still waiting on these. They have been delayed before, but I don't know it that is the case now. I would imagine it shouldn't be too much longer..... Noah

Guys, I have some Colonial/Revolutionary period Osprey titles for sale. Each book is $7 or take the whole lot of 8 titles for $45. Paypal is preferred and shipping extra. Redcoat Officer 1740-1815 Warrior 42 Continental Infantryman of the American Revolution Warrior 68 American Colonial...

Guys, for those that are interested, First Legion has updated their site with a number of new releases. Haslet's Delawares, 3 new motorcycle combos, the US Airborne, and the first Vietnam figures are all listed as 'in stock' on FL's site. Place your orders now! The secondary dealers I checked...

I would like to see the full figure of the knight on the left end. I assume it is a French knight with the fleur-de-lys. Noah

It has been brutal for the Cards this week. This four-game losing streak couldn't come at a worse time. Also, the offense has been dead after spending most of the season as one of the more prolific in the league. They better figure it out soon, or they will be the ones with the...

Xaiver, I really enjoyed this excellent scene. As with all your work, it is very well done. Noah

I was afraid this might happen. I was hesistant to even bring up the issue when I first noticed it. Not only is it fodder for those who want to take a swipe at First Legion, but it could also hurt Matt's sales in the long run. When I first asked about it, I was simply wondering if I was...

Thanks guys. I see that it is back up on the Pen and Sword site, though it must have been reposted just in the last day or two. I have never ordered directly from them, but I may have to in order to get this book. Noah

Anybody have a lead on where to get this book? It has never been 'in stock' anywhere, despite the April release date. Everywhere I have looked, from the big online sellers to the smaller shops, I have not been able to find this. Anyone know its status? Noah

That is pretty funny and very creative. Even my 6-yr old laughed when she saw the pics over my shoulder! Noah

Chris and Al, that is what I had intially thought of, that these look like British style rank chevrons. Don't get me wrong, I really do like this release, as these figures are really well done. It's just that the insignia thing jumped out at me when I veiwed the extra pics on FL's website...

The long-awaited Airborne troops have arrived! This announcement should make a number of collectors happy, as WW2 Airborne is about as popular a subject as you can get. One question though. The rank chevrons on two of the figures appear to me to be pointing down. Shouldn't they be pointing...
