But Rod,there is nothing wrong with people being interested in their own country's involvement in the war,i'm guessing in Russia the collectors are not interested in D Day and 8th Army at all.You have a real passion for your favourite theatre of the War,and in the same way everyone else does too.

I must say I agree with Rob. We are collecting things that interest us. We are not collecting in order to pay homage to or remember or to accurately display history.There is no politically correct list of campaigns we must collect in an equal fashion. I am interested in Waterloo rather than Borodino, the AZW and Sudan rather than the American Indian Wars and Alamein rather than Okinawa. The Eastern Front is interesting and important but is not high on my list of things to collect. I am glad FL has released it rather than the usual suspects in WWII as there seem to be a lot of good guys like Rodrigo and Nasir who are passionate about the whole campaign. You guys have kept demanding and now you are going to be rewarded by what look like some really great toy soldiers. At the end of the day we all have to have some sort of approach to our collecting, as we all have limted budgets. If I was Bill Gates I would buy every single toy soldier produced by every manufacturer for sure but as I am not I make choices. So to all the guys who have been after the Eastern Front and there seem to be a lot of you I am really happy that your tenacity is going to be rewarded. Come on Matt you have got everyone at fever pitch show us the moneyshot now.
Yes doesn't it mate; another amusing day in wonderland with Alice.
I know I feel safer now. That is fine for me, the boading school refuge for whom mine was intended should have seen it.

Well that depends on which "here" you are talking about.
I am interested in Talavera, Salamanca, Albuera, Buçaco, Cadiz, Fuentes de Oñoro, Orthez, Vitoria, Barrosa, Cuidad Rodrigo, Badajoz, Corunna and Roliça, to mention a few.
Well that depends on which "here" you are talking about.
Boy that dead horse must be awful sore . . . .

Well first off there is nothing dead about it. Secondly, a little levity is never amiss and thirdly, I certainly don't mind what anyone else would prefer to collect or discuss. Now if someone would like to compare points that are raised here with amazing redundancy, I am more than pleased to oblige.Boy that dead horse must be awful sore . . . .
This is one thick skinned old nag, I thought she was a goner but she's back again
