B. ‘Battle Command Conference’
General Walter Model was one of Hitler’s most able and trusted Wehrmacht commanders. A dedicated Nazi and personally loyal to Hitler, Model had more than fulfilled his battlefield duties several times over in Hitler’s eyes on both the Eastern and Western fronts.

BBG120 ‘Winter Battlefield Conference’
Here we see Model, in the greatcoat, together with a senior Panzer commander and one of his infantry officers as they discuss their attack plan during the early stages of the ‘Battle of the Bulge’.
These three officers make a welcome addition the other just-previously released BBG sets or indeed any of K&C’s ‘Winter Germans’ currently available.

AVAILABLE: Mid October

Love this new battlefield conference set. On my list. What we really need is a German one for the battle of Arnhem.

I’ve been drooling over The Napoleonic command set for years. Hopefully Napoleons’s coach with 4 horses will come soon too.

Thanks Andy also for Michael Caine’s command car from a bridge too far.

2 of my dreams came true in 2019

Glad that one hope has come true

As far as a carriage and 4 horses go ...... maybe a pumpkin and 4 mice will come first for Cinderella before this carriage ?????

2 horses and a wagon or a forge or GUNS would be more useful for the troops on the ground !!!

We can only hope ....... a wait a while ... a L O N G while .....

C. More Market Garden...
Three extra ARNHEM ’44 sets that provide additional depth and colour to this long-running and very popular King & Country WW2 series of British Airborne figures, vehicles, artillery and aircraft...

View attachment 253705

MG078 ‘Destination : ARNHEM’
A poignant little set of a British paratrooper, Lee Enfield .303 rifle in hand studying an ARNHEM street sign on the outskirts of the famous Dutch town.

MG079 ‘Arnhem Defenders’
A little way forward of MG078 and further into Arnhem, two British paratroopers have already come under fire from the Germans and taken cover.
As one Para sits the other kneeling Para cautiously looks out to see where exactly the enemy fire is coming from.
There two Paras look great next to a wall or building or perhaps even an abandoned jeep... You make the decision!

MG083 ‘British Humber Mk.1 Scout Car’
Anyone who collects ARNHEM ’44 is sure to know about the classic movie ‘A Bridge Too Far’ (1977) directed by Sir Richard Attenborough that depicted the ill-fated ‘Operation Market Garden’ in general and the Arnhem battle in particular.
Among the many great movie stars in this WW2 epic was Michael Caine who depicted Lt. Col. J.O.E. Vandeleur of the Irish Guards in the film.
Vandeleur led the front element of the British XXX Corps in his Humber Scout Car and that’s what we have portrayed in this great little set.
Lt. Col. Vandeleur (Michael Caine) stands erect in his Humber scout car as his forces attempt to reach Arnhem... just like in the movie!

AVAILABLE: Mid-Late October

Andy, will these be the last of the Arnhem releases until sometime late next year or thereafter or do you have more planned in the short term. Thanks.
