Easy colour-scheme variants. Yes. Interestingly, I’ve heard that, due to the composite wool fabric used, the exact shade of the British Battledress uniform could apparently shift depending on the angle and lighting it was viewed under, almost making it a primitive sort of active camouflage (though the British version tended to be browner and the Canadian-issued equivalent slightly greener).

So, after careful review I learn that not all my choices got funded so I need to juggle some guys around to get as diverse and representative a team of Howling Commandos, so I chose these guys to fill my KS contribution's six slots:
The Thompson Gunner will get a mustache to become Dum-Dum Dugan. The Medic got chosen because medics got the biggest balls on the battlefield. The Japanese-American trooper will be Jim Morita. The Navaho CodeTalker will have to be a new guy I make up. Sgt Rock's Easy Company has an Apache sniper named 'Little Sure Shot', but I think I'll pass. The BREN Gunner will be Pinky Pinkerton. The Russian Tanker will be have to be a new guy I make up. 'Crazy Ivan' is too obvious. For Add-ons I have to go with the 10pack of heads and a sixpack of Nazis: The Early War Officer is my guy to lead them and I'll name him Colonel Klink. The Early War Rifleman will be his Chief Stooge and will be Sgt Schultz. Then there will be the Late War MP44 Gunner Bierdrinken, MG42 Gunner Schnitzelgruben, Panzer Grenadier Rifleman Putzenwanken, and Panzer Grenadier MP40 Gunner Schmuckenstuppen as the Fier Stooges: I threw up a thread on the MTF Fb about widening the diversity roster to its widest while keeping it the cheapest and doing a black Naval Shorepatrolman with the now-funded spats-legged mold being made into blue Dungarees with the white spats and 'sugar' belt I got to wear in San Diego Boot Camp. I'd also love a French Maquis Resistance fighter. |

Right now I’m reading, “With the Old Breed.” Highly recommended.

As an addendum to the earlier discussion Kickstarter exclusive items, MJ posted the following to the KS page.
"If you want the Panzer figus in the shown configuration and colors, you need to get them in the kickstarter/backerkit. The WWII Weapon set #2 and the MTF Head set items will be available individually on the site after release, but not as part of the same value sets." Configuration and colours being the key words there. I think the store may eventually get the Panzer guys in another camo (likely the SS brown type). |

I had the idea to repaint my Medic as black but I doubt the American military of the time would be accepting black applicants to Corpsman/Medic School; so I'll say he's only veterinarian-trained. He was serving in Europe as mess cook when some shiat went down and DumDum Dugan saw him save a man's life with eating utensils. From then on he was the Howling Commandos Medic, regulations be damned. For additional grins, I'm gonna say this guy is Stretcher's grandpa.
