Posted on 07 January 2014 at 16:01:31 GMT More on the Korean theme. Do people have any recommendations for N. Korean or Chinese figures?
Thanks,

Posted on 07 January 2014 at 19:41:02 GMT I'm sure Adler do Russians in winter dress with fur hats. |

Posted on 08 January 2014 at 09:53:13 GMT How about H&R Afrika Korps. They are quite slender figures in forage caps so could be painted up in a suitable scheme. Not really padded enough for winter dress though!
Cheers

Posted on 08 January 2014 at 10:09:16 GMT Thanks for all the replies. It's interesting that the Korean War is not gamed more. It may be a misconception based on the old MASH TV programme about what the war was really like. I must confess I thought it was attritional until I started reading the histories, but the first part of the war was all about movement. I am sure I can make up some really good scenarios. What is more, apart from the RRs and the actual troops, my WWII models can, for the most part, double up as UN or Communist forces.
Anyway I will have to see what I can cobble together for the Chinese.

Posted on 08 January 2014 at 10:58:50 GMT How do the H&R Rebel Forces pack M21 fit in? They all have caps too so none of the cold weather gear requested either but could be less German looking! |

Posted on 08 January 2014 at 11:29:50 GMT The H&R DAK are not in shorts IIRC.
It's been about 25 years since I sold off my micro armour but seem to remember mixing a fair few of the DAK figures with the other packs for NWE games. |

Posted on 08 January 2014 at 13:44:13 GMT Have checked figures from my unpainted M21 pack. The guns can look like any and are short and lacks AK-47 detail. Only 5 RPGs in pack of 50.
You can paint bare legs on DAK figures as required.
The ghq pictured figures look good for the quilted uniforms. GHQ guns can be snipped short as they are quite bendy. |
