    King & Country Dispatches -- January 2026

    Same for me, think i was spoit with the latest Battle of the Bulge US and the new German HEER figures. I was looking forward to some German Battle of the Bulge figures, but there is always next month. Plus hoping for some new vehicles and new British D Day/Normandy figures.

    You try in life to be good and measured, decide what you are going to collect and say to yourself in a firm tone "no more new ranges". As a friend says "I am putting my foot down, with a firm hand, no more". Then John does this and brings out a range that you have wanted for a long time. Is...
