Do you think we might get a hint in March?

I think Andy will look at the early WWI vehicles already successfully produced by other companies like Toy Army Workshop, Tommy Atkins, Trophy and Britains premier (Later Charles Biggs) and select one from there. Maybe a Thorneycraft Truck (Britains Premier) with artillery mounted on the back, or a troop transport truck (Tommy Atkins made great ones with highlanders seated in the rear).
According to K & C Collectors Club UK Newsletter for Jan 2007, the WWI range will be released in May 07. Starting with four personality figures, a staff car, a motorbike and eight action figures - all German. No idea whether thats early (1914) or late (1916-18) war period. Anybody got any idea?
American Civil War range kicks off in April with the Confederates.
I believe Andy has said that he intends to start WWI in the early war period - 1914.
I forgot to thank Graycap for giving us the scoop on WWI. That was a good catch. So four German personality figures circa 1914. Let the guessing begin:
1) Kaiser
2) von Molke
3) Prince Rupprecht
4) Falkenhayn (I'm reaching here)
Dont forget BLACK JACK PERSHING !
At least for now, Andy is planning to cover the early stages of the war, so Black Jack would be out for now.
Andy could alway do him riding around Mexico a few years before WWI
