To convert their WWI Germans in Austrians?


Will they like it? But seriously...are the figs any good? Seeing as next year is the 100th anniversary of WWl it would seem a good opportunity for the big companies to make Great War stuff.

Might be usable to convert '39-'41 Germans to ww2 Hungarians too. I hope that their Austro-Hungarian figure set will be released soon.

I quickly purchased this set and have found it to be both a golden opportunity and a bit of a frustration. What's frustrating is that other than painting colors, there is virtually no information about the various items. Which MG is the 1907 model and which is the 1912 one? It doesn't say. How were the two strange grenades held while throwing them? Were they already in issue in August 1914? Again, it doesn't say. Why is there a gas mask filter (I think) but not the mask itself? I wish the set had included a backpack and the distinctive AH cap. A cavalryman's sabre would have been great too, given the colorful uniforms that are available.

According to their website they are also at work on a set of WWI *Russian* equipment.
