I love all the ICM WW1 stuff, but hope that the rifles will be the correct size (unlike the Austro-Hungarian Mannlichers). I am curious if fhe four-legged stand-mounted version of the MG08 will be included in the kit, there are only Russian Maxims as separate kits in their catalogue, and the Austro-Hungarian kits have 2/4 Schwarzlose mgs.

Well, not exactly. First things which are needed are a wide selection of WWI British and German figures only then can the other participants be produced.

Absolute KUDOS to ICM (once again) for an incredibly useful-looking set

Some of these would be useful to WW2 modellers also, the Germans were still issuing Broomhandle Mausers, MP18s and old rifles etc to second line troops throughout the war. Also the helmet!

This is great news, especially the helmet, since some figures can always converted from WW2 sets, but that 1916 helmet is distinctive for WW1. Maybe ICM has more figure sets planned.

Recently announced for future production were:

Russian Infantry WW1
French Infantry WW1
German Infantry WW1
British Infantry WW1

All are 4 figure sets and to compliment each set will be a set of weapons and soldiers basic equipment issued as separate kits.

I'm really looking forward to see what comes along and have most on pre-order already.

Interesting, as photos taken in 1940 still show some members of the BEF still wearing SD as opposed to BD, particularly the Guards regiments...
