Battle of the Bulge line (1 Viewer)

Does anyone know why the new Stug is under the U.S. line? It is supposed to be Germans disguised as U.S. troops, so it should be under the German line then right? Not a big deal, I am just curious if it was to fill out the U.S. line. Also I really like the Grille tank, but why is it painted in the early war colors that represent vehicles before February 1943. After February 1943 all vehicles were to be painted an overall dark yellow and if possible a camo of green or brown or both over the yellow. The Grille was first produced in 1943 and some on the Russian front could be in Gray. The Germans did whitewash over the camo paint during the Battle of the Bulge if they had the paint available. Only 12 Grille tanks were at the Battle of the Bulge, so don't buy too many

I suppose the logic is that the the StuG is suposed to be captured, and the figures with it are GIs. K&C tends to gear things toward the figures defining the vehicle rather than the other way around.

I don't believe the figures with the stug are ment to be American but rather Germans, part of Skorzeny's Panzer brigade 150. It follows the same theme as BBA04 " friend or foe " in which the MP's are wearing blue scarves - the same color scarves worn by the men with the stug in "wolf in sheeps clothing". Andy has produced a great trilogy of sets, including the one of the firing squad, telling the story of the Germans special opps. during the Battle of the Bulge.

I noticed the scarves also. The soldiers could be used as U.S. troops I guess. I like the idea of Skorzeny's troops, but it shortchanges the U.S. line a little.

Anybody know where to get pictures of these new sets?
