For a neutral Italy rule (which would then allow AH a mine free move) putting UK SZ19 forces at risk, one of the following 3 should be done…
change UK setup to move 1 CA from SZ29 to SZ19; move UK CA/TR from SZ19 to SZ28; create new SZ31 by splitting SZ17 in half at a point on border between SZ16 and SZ17 below Sicily and extending to point where Albania borders Greece.Billy V Toys 1:72 scale figures.

Hobby Lobby in Federal Way, WA just opened so my wife, nephew and sis in law went to check it out. Not a big selection of guy stuff there but I found some 1:72 WWII and Korean War figures. I got them for six bucks with a 40% off coupon. There’s quite a lot of figures in various poses and might be good for any house rulers out there. The Korean inf might make some good insurgents or Chinese infantry possibly elite japanese troops. The Germans you could definitely use.
The plastic is very consistent with the plastic used in the OOB parts and frankly all the one piece figs are ready to go once you trim some flash off. Great for Waffen SS or other HRs.

Actually IL those aren’t the ones. The ones I have are on runners and aren’t really toys. Some of the figures have to be assembled, but most of them are one piece. I tried attaching a pic but the file was too big to post.
The thing I like about them is that most of the figures just need to have the flash trimmed off once you take them off the runners and they’re ready, but just as easily painted in one color or in high detail.

Hmm…I note that some of the troops lack hands, arms and heads. I assume that these body parts are provided separately in the package for attachment with glue, and that these figures aren’t supposed to represent soldiers who’ve been severely wounded in battle.
How well do these figures fit alongside A&A troops in terms of scale?

They Americans a bit beefy compared to the Axis players but so are the Germans. You could probably snap the two piece figures together but I’ll be glueing them. I will also probably prime, paint, and dip thess guys too. I’m not sure what I’ll do with them yet. They were a steal at six bucks and I couldn’t pass it up.
The Koreans with AKs just fit the part of some kind of insurgent, and I couldn’t resist buying them. The Easy Company Americans have guys dragging parchutes and really might come in handy. The Korean era Americans have M-14s, M-1 Gerands, and M-1 carbines.
When I get a minute and get the guys off thier runners and cleaned up I’ll post pics.
