SHINY STUFF - WARGAMES ATLANTIC BRITISH WW1

Wargames Atlantic have announced the release of their long awaited set of 28mm hard plastic WW1 British Infantry:

We're promised a release date of 31st August 2023, and the set looks as if it will be extremely useful for VBCW conversions (plastic Lewis Guns at last! lots of different British heads!) or even as the basis for an entire VBCW Platoon (30 figures, or 3 sections according to the WTDW Rules, for somewhere between £22.50 and £25.00 RRP).

The only slight problem is that the "release date" may vary massively from the "able to purchase" date. The last Wargames Atlantic set we looked at, the "WW2 German Sentries" set, had a release date of 31st March 2023 - but they are still unobtainable in the UK in late July. Wargames Atlantic's own "release schedule" is presently showing them simply as "en route" to the UK (and everywhere else other than the US), so there is no telling when they might appear....

Still, if you're thinking of putting together a British VBCW force sometime next year, or the year thereafter, these Wargames Atlantic plastics might be just the figures for you...
