Guys,
Before anybody start spitting negative critics about the May Ranger figures , let me tell you the uniforms are historically correct .
D-E and F company of the second Ranger Battalion went up the cliffs at Pointe Du Hoc and were issued with JUMP SHOES!!!traditional gaiters were not suitable to climb cliffs.
So these figures can be used in dios of the D-Day landings and beyond !!!!!!( they did not change shoes after D-day)

BTW Guys I omitted to mention that several notable sets are planned for Pointe Du Hoc, for those of you planning a beach assault dio you will have plenty of choice for the future!
Best Wishes Vicki
