Just did my Mayhem choices. Added a head set and one each of the new Panzers.
I'm not a WW2 accuracy guy and am excited to start mixing and matching with my earlier stuff from the first big kickstarter. I need to invent a time machine...

My Joe collecting days are long over so I'm in this for the WW2 stuff rather than the customising fodder. That said I'd probably suggest the USMC figure as the most generic and useful beyond WW2 (assuming that the breast insignia is a decal) as it's a pretty basic green shirt that can be used for army guys.
For my 24 pick my thinking was to get a few figures from each country but to weight towards the ETO. I basically chose whatever figures worked best to create a section or parts of squads, more or less going by the equipment and weapon choices. I picked the bazooka and 50 cal guys more because of their pistols, belts and pouches than their main weapons. I actually drew up a plan of what I plan to do with the Germans and US Army guys I'm getting. |

Can anyone comment on the colors of the US Japanese-American Army Europe figure?
Is the uniform color scheme unique to the army in Europe at a particular time? How come the other figures don't seem to have the same uniform? I'm just a bit confused. |

Very good question. I wondered the same...

I found that the US army used a variety of different shades in their uniforms in Europe. A khahki top with light blue-greenish trousers rather than brown was a pretty common combination. If you watch Saving Private Ryan, these colours are pretty close to what Tom Hanks' Captain Miller wears (though colour grading and lighting can make these look different depending on the scene).
Hard to know exactly what colour he will be though, as the shade of the British guys changed from art to render, and the USMC have changed from render to paint master. |
