The Commander Series Forum

I was looking at the FOW site the other day and noticed they have released what they call the "Greek" Bren Carrier. Now, I am far from an expert in this theater of the war, but the model looked like just about every other 15mm Bren Carrier model I have seen. Was ther actually a respective difference between the Greek Bren and those used by Britan and the rest of the Commonwealth? Or is this just a cash grab to sell a "new" model?

GKO101 is Greek Bren Carrier Crew

So you can use standaard carriers for Greek forces (though I have no idea if Greece actualy had many if any carriers)

Most of their 'Greek' range consists of models from other ranges identified by the original codes. I see no aattempt at a cash grab here.

Though I do see some dreadful typing in my previous post [B)

But, were they different then the Universal Carriers used by other Commonwealth countries. I guess what I am asking is a separate Greek version necessary? Not that I will be buying one either way, it was just a question that crossed my mind when I saw it on their site.

The Greek ones have special compartments for keeping the Ouzo cold and the kebabs hot

Why didn't you say so in the first place! That makes all the difference.

the greek ones also get pensioned off after 3 yrs service with a nice cushy garage to live in paid for by the invading troops.

They are not doing a specific Greek version just Greek crew to go in the standard carrier.

Which because of the way they mould the gunner won't fit in any other copanies carrier particulalrly easily. Plus the pack contains 5 crews which is interesting as their carriers come in packs of 3!

I've just noticed - they don't do Japs or US for the Pacific!

Their British Infantry (Italy) work quite well for Burma though (one of my current projects, wanted to do something a bit different and had the box sitting around for about a year waiting for me to paint them up for Sicily)

Ah, I see. Still like Kiwidave's explaination better, though.
