The new 1917 Germans look like they would be suitable for 1918 as well, and would work well with a series of Doughboys and US Marines -- Call it a Chateau Thierry/Belleau Wood/2d Marne set. Lots of possibilities -- At Belleau Wood the Marines were still in their green uniforms and in many cases fought in their shirtsleeves because of the heat. Weapons would include Springfields (the Marines didn't use the M1917), Chauchats and Trench Shotguns. For Chateau-Thierry throw inthe Hotchkiss guns of the soldiers defending the Marne crossings. And for 2d Marne how about some Third Division soldiers armed with M1917 Endfields hand to hand with German assault troops.

Just an idea.

Buffalo Soldiers. A good tribute is in order for both wars.
