Regarding the uniforms types I will put this out there. I read a book titled Panzer Commander many years ago. It was excellent BTW. But one point I do remember is the author stating how the German army was starved of supplies and how at a certain point units were thrown together with whatever they could find. That's how I plan to use my figures. The allies overwhelming a mismatched group of Axis fighters.
I am looking towards the following figure breakdown. Medic U.S. Rifleman U.S. Thompson x2 U.S. 50 Cal Gunner British Rifleman x2 British Officer British Bren Gunner Russian Rifleman Russian Tanker Russian Officer Russian Machine Gunner German Mg42 Gunner German Mp44 Gunner German Paratroop MP40 x2 German Paratroop FG42 x2 German Paratroop Officer RAT PATROL!!!! British Desert Rifleman British Desert Officer British Desert Lewis Gunner British SAS x2

Yes it was, if I remember correctly about ten years ago one of the companies did a 1/6 Action Figure of him. Another great book to read is Soldat: Reflections of a German Soldier, 1936-1949. BTW for first time readers...These books in no way glorify the Nazi war machine. They present the stories of regular German soldiers before, during and after WWII.
I found the figure. 1/6 Dragon Cyber Hobby WWII Figure German Hans Von Luck 70394 MINT | eBay

Yeah I remember reading that one years ago, great book.
Is the plan to release unit and rank insignia as decals? If so, it would be neat to include both British and Canadian unit insignia with the British troops ($234,00-$253,00 goals), as the battledress uniforms for the Brits and Canadians were basically identical (Canadian uniforms were often a little darker material if I recall correctly). |

I'd be interested to see that tracker for Marauder's other KS events. It would give us a decent predictor for the coming weeks and I think it would show very positive signs for where this KS can go. I know I haven't pledged yet, and while I won't pledge really big (I'm not a WWII guy), there are probably lots of others like me waiting to see what gets unlocked and gathering funds.

OK, I just looked at the Exo-suit tracker, and it surged at the end in a way that mirrors more the top of that predicted curve (and maybe higher) for the WWII figs. Same with the Vals. The original KS is not articulated the same way, but for all intents and purposes, I'd say it's a good sign. I'm really confident this could end in the $400,000 range.
