I am in *love* with SHQ; everything that I have seen from them I
like. Britannia is adequate, although I think that their gebirgsjaegers
are great.
I have a ton of FAA and Drew's Militia. They are keen too,
although one fo them (Drew's) are MUCH TOO CLOSE to scale, i.e. the
weapon barrels are thin as a hair, their arms fragile, etc.
SHQ just started their German cavalry not too long ago. I have
never seen any Russian cav (though VERY interested). Britannia does
some
neat SS 'Florian Geyer' cav figs.
Laterish!
