RE: [DSII] infantry figures

You're right, I meant battalion.

The size may be unfortunate, but explains why you get so many for the
cost.

Thanks for the insight. Just the kind of thing for which I was looking.

umm... good luck :) a brigade of infantry will be in the range of 1000
up to
several thousand men, depending on the organisation.  That's a lot of
figures.
The main problem with GHQ figures that you'll find, is that they are too
small.	They are, as far as I could tell, actually in the proper 1/285
scale.	Figures from the other manufacturers that are popular, like the
GZG
or G*mes W*rksh*p ones, are much larger than true 1/285.  The GHQ
figures
will not fit together with them.  Also, the GHQ figures (at least the
ones
I've seen that are cast in large blocks) have very poor detail and are
too
thin, so they break/bend very easily.  I'm not sure if they'll be good
for
wargaming.  But that's just my opinion.

I have been thinking to finish off a brigade of infantry for DSII, but
since
that amounts to a lot of figures... I have been looking around. I also
liked
the special weapons and officer looking ones. Has anyone used GHQ's
infantry - the single figs - for DS? Do they look too much like they are
from WWII or the current era, rather than the future?
