Battle of the Bulge

America’s most famous fighting general of WW2 and his beloved English Bull Terrier, ‘Willie’ are on a visit to some of the soldiers from the General’s own Third Army. As the General returns the salute of one of his men he casts a careful eye over the soldier’s appearance and demeanor… “Is he ready to fight and throw back these lousy Krauts all the way to Berlin…?” In the General’s opinion, “He damn well better be!”

• BBA111 General and His Dog
• BBA112 Saluting GI - Standing at attention and saluting the General this GI knows that when General Patton says, “Jump!”You only need to reply… “How high?”
• BBA113 Time For A Smoke - During WW2 most soldiers in most armies, Allied and Axis, smoked cigarettes.Among these armies the American forces received the most generous allocations of ‘smokes’ and they were provided free with most ration packs. For many GIs cigarettes provided temporary relief from both mental and physical stress.For nonsmokers cigarettes were used as a kind of currency to purchase clothing, alcohol and… occasionally sex. This particular GI is having a ‘smoke’ just to feel a little warmth in his lungs and on his face.Some cigarette advertising even suggested that smoking their particular brand would steady the nerves and provide some kind of relaxation in even the most difficult and dangerous of combat situations.
• BBA114 Carrying The Wounded - A wounded GI is carried to safety by his buddy, rifle in hand. Special Note: This particular 2-man set of GIs has both soldiers wearing the M-1943 Field Jacket, this new combat uniform jacket replaced the shorter M-1941 field jacket. The M-1943 was used extensively during the remainder of WW2 and well into the Korean War (1950-53).
• BBA115 A Pair of Gis - Another two GIs wearing their M-1943 Field Jackets with M1 Garand rifles in hand. These particular soldiers might be on guard duty or perhaps just waiting for new ‘orders’ to be issued.
• BBA116 Guard Duty - One more GI well-wrapped up in his warm woolen greatcoat and guarding a trench, a vehicle or just a stretch of road… Take your pick.
• BBA117 A Walking Bazooka Guy - The ‘Bazooka’ was a WW2 designed portable, shoulder-fired rocket launcher mostly used to knock-out enemy tanks, other military vehicles or even enemy strong points. Many thousands were deployed by the U.S. Army during the war.
• BBA118 Taking A Break - This ‘winter’ soldier is standing at-ease with his M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle by his side. The B.A.R. was one of a family of American automatic rifles that entered service late in 1918 and continued throughout WW2, the Korean conflict and even as late as the Vietnam War!

Life of Jesus

During the life of Jesus and for many hundreds of years afterwards it was the duty of the women of the household, to walk each day to the well and bring back large stone jars full of fresh water for the family to use for washing and cooking. In biblical times, it was also common for both Jewish and Arab women to cover part of their faces to signify modesty, reverence and even… social status. This particular figure can be used in all kinds of historic settings from biblical times all the way up to the Crusades and beyond well into the various wars and conflicts of the 20th and 21st Centuries.

Gladiators

• GLAD-001 Retiarius, Gladiator - The retiarius gladiator was one of the most recognizable fighters of the ancient Roman Colosseum. The name Retiarius translates in latin as “net fighter”, and this gladiator did indeed fight with a net and a trident. The retiarii was in fact based on the role of the fisherman. In ancient Rome fishing played a large part of daily life, and the retiarius character was something that most common folk could support.
• GLAD-002 Secutor - A Secutor was a class of gladiator in ancient Rome. Thought to have originated around 50AD, the Secutor (“follower” or “Chaser”, from the Sequor, “I follow, come or go after”) was armed in a similar way to the Murmillo gladiator. Both were protected by a heavy shield, and carried a short sword or a dagger. The Secutor was especially trained to fight a retiarius.

Macedonian Prodromoi

In ancient Greece the Prodromoi were skirmisher light cavalry. The translation can best be represented by “runners-before”, or “runners ahead”. This implies that these cavalry moved before the rest of the army and can best be described as intended for scouting and screening missions.. In the Macedonian army of Philip II and Alexander the Great, the cavalry unit termed as Prodromoi are sometimes referred to as Sarissophoroi, which translates as “pikemen”, or “lancers”. This leads to the conclusion that they were armed with an uncommonly long ”xyston”. Which is believed to be as much as 14 ft long..

European Settlers

European settlers came to North America from a variety of social and religious groups, including adventurers, farmers, indentured servants, tradesmen, and a very few from the aristocracy. From the 1700’s settlements were mainly found along the coast, with only in the valley of the Hudson River had they penetrated inland more than a 100 miles. Seventy years later settlements had spread inland 200 miles or more, to the crest of the Appalachians.

US Army Fronitier Scout

US ARMY FRONTIER SCOUTS The role of the frontier scout was vital during the period of expansion between 1840 and 1890. These men possessed a priceless knowledge of the geography, people and characteristics of the great American hinterland. They were to have a larger influence on the pace of settlement and control of the American west than any other single factor. James Pierson Beckwourth (April 26, 1798/1800 – October 20, 1866) was an American fur trapper, rancher, businessman, explorer, author and scout. Known as "Bloody Arm" because of his skill as a fighter. Of African American descent, he was to play a major role as a scout during the early exploration and settlement of the West. Born in Fredericksburg, Virginia in 1798, his mother was a black slave and his father Jennings Beckwith was a white plantation owner and officer in the Continental army during the Revolutionary War. Beckwourth after being apprenticed to a blacksmith left home in 1822 and lived as a trapper and mountain man until captured by Crow Indians. He was to spend eight years living as a Native American and was even made a chieftain. In 1850 he was to discover a pass across the Sierra Nevada Mountains that would further lead to open California to settlement. During the civil War , Beckwourth served again as an army guide and interpreter and reluctantly rode with Colonel John Chivington, 3rd Colorado Cavalry, at the notorious massacre of the Cheyenne at Sand Creek on November 29th 1864. After the civil War, he continued to scout for the army for a short time, before returning to his beloved Crow territory where he died in 1867.

WWII German forces

The four new SS crew from Thomas Gunn, alas only 4 crew members made it out alive from the damaged vehicle, with one of their comrades left inside, having paid the ultimate price. The four new SS crew from Thomas Gunn has multiple uses, escaping from their vehicle, be it a Panzer II to Panzer IV, or the late war heavy panzers. Fleeing from their SPG in its ambush position as the Allies relentlessly move forward. Working their way through the hedgerows or across the Russian steppes avoiding capture. Picking their way through a damaged city or town trying to escape capture or worse, making a heroic land stand in the rubble or the fields and woods, as they defend each other to the last man.

Rome

Our two new Legionnaires would certainly be welcome in any tent or toga party, leading to a fair bit of Rome-ance. While females were not allowed to serve in the Legions, who can say they never dressed up in Legionnaire armour and clothing? Not us, as these releases add a bit of spice and variety to collectors of the Roman era. These make a delightful change from the standard Legionnaire, Praetorian or shouting Centurion. One leans over her shield whilst the other takes a breather from the wear and tear of a long route march and carrying all that heavy equipment.

• TG-ROM184 Roman Slingers - While the Romans increasingly used archers, slingers remained a valuable part of the Roman army for centuries. They had an advantage over archers, slingers could often out-range archers, and their projectiles could have a powerful, lethal impact. They were cost-effective, slings were much cheaper to produce than bows and arrows, and ammunition was often readily available stones or easily-made lead or clay pellets. During a battle could act as skirmishers and they would take their position on the flanks of the legionary infantry. While not their primary role, some legionaries could use slings, and the weapon remained a common part of the Roman army across many centuries.
