KING & COUNTRY
“DISPATCHES”
SEPTEMBER 2006
September is one of the biggest, busiest and most important months of the year for King & Country so, without further ado let’s get into it…
1. WHAT’S NEW IN SEPTEMBER?
A. “WINTER WARRIORS”
K&C’s latest offerings of WW2 German infantry and fighting vehicles and battlefield accessories has been neatly divided into two parts with the infantry and accessories coming in September (in time for the Chicago Show) and the fighting vehicles just over a month later.
WS082 “MG42 Set”. Three decidedly cold-looking German “Soldaten” man this MG42 set up in its “fixed-firing” tripod.
WS083 “Hasso von Manteuffel”. This General was one of Germany’s best and most able officers and in command of the famed “Grossdeutschland” Division in 1944. Here, he stands next to a tripod-mounted set of long-distance field telescopes.
WS084 “Winter Sledge”. A well-wrapped up “Soldaten” manfully pulls one of his wounded colleagues to a battlefield aid station.
WS085 “Prepare to Fire!”.A kneeling officer, flare pistol in hand, prepares to give the order to fire to a standing sniper.
WS086 “Moving Forward”.Whilst a kneeling rifleman covers him another “soldaten” moves forward with his machine pistol ready.
AVAILABILITY: NOW
B. “Defence Works & Strongpoints”
SP025 “ Machine Gun Bunker” . A hand-painted polystone rendition of an earth and log defencework that can accommodate kneeling and lying prone defenders. This piece has several gun ports and a detachable roof. It can be displayed uncovered if desired, the choice is yours.
SP026 “Mortar Pit”. A three-sided earth and log defencework ideal for positing a mortar pit or a small command/radio group.
SP027 “Tank/Artillery Bunker”. Another, much larger three-sided earth and log defencework suitable for housing a small tank, an artillery piece or even for storing supplies and ammunition.
AVAILABILITY: Mid September
C. “CRUSADER Cross & Crescent”
An epic journey back in time to the cauldron of conflict that is the Middle East. A retelling of the dramatic events between two great civilizations that still shatter our world today.
Last month we told you about how we conceived and developed this major new series. This month is the launch of the first exciting releases. From the feedback from many dealers (and more than a few collectors) this range of early Medieval figures and display pieces is going to be a winner!
MK001 “Mounted Knight w/ Lance”
MK002 “Foot Knight w/Sword & Shield”
MK003 “Foot Knight w/Sword & Crucifix”
MK004 “Mounted Knight w/Shield”
MK005 “Foot Soldier w/Spear”
MK006 “Foot Soldier w/Spear & Shield”
MK007 “Siege Tower”
MK008 “Mounted Knight w/Flag”
MK009 “Standing Knight w/Sword & Shield”
MK010 “Standing Knight w/Flag & Shield”
MK011 “Fighting Knight w/Sword”
MK012 “Crossbowman Loading”
MK013 “Crossbowman Firing”
MK014 “Knight Fighting w/Axe & Shield”
MK015 “Charging Knight w/Axe & Shield”
MK016 “Fighting Bishop”
MK017 “Horn Blower”
MK018 “Attacking Knight w/Axe & Shield”
MK019 “Knight Drawing Sword”
MK020 “Man-at-arms Fighting w/Axe”
Look out for even more Crusaders and a great selection of fighting Saracens to be released before the Festive Season.
AVAILABILITY: Mid September!
D. “REMEMBER THE ALAMO”
A couple of months ago we released our first all-new “Alamo” figures in many years – The Mexican Army. Now it’s the turn of the gallant defenders of this little mission fort. All of the individual figures are named after actual Alamo defenders.
We’ve also got Artillery sets for both the Texians defenders and the Mexican attackers plus two variations of the Texas Flag and a great Jim Bowie vignette piece. All in all enough to make a pretty spectacular battle scene.
RTA015 “Davy Crocket” of Tennessee. One the famous triumvirate (along with Bowie and Travis) who fought and died at the Alamo.
RTA016 “Jesse B. Bowman” of Tennessee
RTA017 “Robert Allen” of Virginia
RTA018 “William Johnson” of Pennsylvania
RTA019 “Colonel William B. Travis” of South Carolina. The young commander of the Alamo Garrison doomed to die at the beginning of the final assault.
RTA020 “Dolphin Ward Floyd” of North Carolina
RTA021 “Joseph Kerr” of Louisiana. One of a handful of “New Orleans Grays” – a volunteer militia unit.
RTA022 “John McGregor” of Scotland. Several Scots fought at the Alamo, McGregor was said to have played his bagpipes during the siege.
RTA023 “Juan Seguin” of Texas. A member of a notable Tejano family Seguin was one of the couriers Travis sent out of the Alamo to seek help and reinforcements.
RTA024 “John Forsyth” of New York
RTA025 “John W. Thomson” of North Carolina
RTA026 “Isaac Ryan” of Louisiana
RTA027 “Juan A. Badillo” of Texas
RTA028 “John Davis” of Kentucky
RTA029 “Mexican Soldier Advancing”
RTA030 “Mexican Artillery” Set. Three besieging Mexican Artillerymen man their cannon and maintain their bombardment of the little mission
RTA031 “Mexican Artillery Officer”. Standing proudly this officer directs the fire of his men.
RTA032 “Texian Artillery” Set. Three defending artillerymen fire their captured Mexican field piece. Most of these cannon were either French or Spanish made and used by both sides.
RTA033A “James Butler Bonham” of South Carolina. Bonham stands defiantly, sword in one hand, rifle in the other supporting the “1824” Republic of Texas Flag.
RTA033B the same figure as above but this time the standard is the world-famous “Texas State Flag”.
RTA034 “Bowie’s Last Battle” Set. Jim Bowie – knife fighter…adventurer… slave owner… and finally, one of the “holly trinity” of Alamo defenders. This dramatic display shows the fever-stricken Bowie pistoling ove of his Mexican attackers whilst the other soldier prepares to bayonet the bed-ridden figure.
AVAILABILITY: Mid September
