WW1 French Trench Raider
$18.00
Only a few left!
Trench raiding was a feature of trench warfare which developed during the First World War. It involved making small scale night-time surprise attacks on enemy positions. Typically, raids were carried out by small teams of men creeping slowly up on the sentries guarding a small sector of an enemy front line trench then killing them as quietly as possible. Having secured the trench the raiders would complete their mission objectives as quickly as possible, ideally within several minutes. Grenades would be thrown into dugouts where enemy troops were sleeping before the raiders left the enemy lines to return to their own.
The purpose of trench raiding was to acheive certain objectives. These ranged from capturing, wounding or killing enemy troops (either to gather intelligence or to reduce morale), to performing reconnaissance for a future planned attack, to seizing important documents. Trench raiding was very similar to medieval warfare insofar as it was fought face-to-face with crude weaponry. Trench raiders were lightly equipped for stealthy, unimpeded movement. Typically, raiding parties were armed with deadly homemade trench raiding clubs, bayonets, entrenching tools, trench knives, hatchets, pickaxe handles and brass knuckles.This choice of weaponry was due to the raider's intention to kill or capture people quietly, without drawing attention to their activities, with firearms reserved only to be used in an emergency.

After the fall of France and German domination over continental Western Europe was secure, Britain faced the threat of invasion by sea. The Royal Navy had control of the English Channel and North Sea, so German air superiority was necessary to attempt an amphibious and airborne assault on Britain. Despite determined and constant attacks on RAF airfields and infrastructure, and later factories and other strategic infrastructure for aircraft Edit Production, air superiority could not be achieved by the Luftwaffe. The planned invasion of Britain (Operation Sea Lion) was called off and German attention turned to the East. The RAF had two of the most iconic and exceptional airplanes of the war to defend against the Luftwaffe, with the Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire entering into legend alongside their pilots.

WW2 British Army Rifleman (Mid-Late War)
$18.00
Sold out
The British Army was, in 1939, a volunteer army. It was trained and equipped to be a small, mechanized, professional army, with its main function being to garrison the British Empire. It became evident early in the war that its initial structure and manpower was woefully unprepared and ill-equipped for a war with multiple enemies on multiple fronts. Limited conscription was implemented in early 1939, and full conscription shortly after the declaration of war with Germany. During the early years of the Second World War, the British Army suffered defeat in almost every theatre of war in which it was deployed. With mass conscription, the expansion of the British Army was reflected in the formation of larger armies and army groups. From 1943, the larger and better-equipped British Army never suffered a strategic defeat (although there were failures, most notably the Battle of Arnhem, part of Operation Market Garden, in September 1944).

Boer Kommando (Second Boer War)
$18.00
Only a few left!
The Second Boer War (11 October 1899 – 31 May 1902), was a conflict fought between the British Empire and the two Boer Republics (the South African Republic and the Orange Free State) over the Empire's influence in Southern Africa. Triggered by the discovery of diamond and gold deposits in the Boer republics, the Boers launched successful attacks against British outposts in the opening stages of the war before being pushed back by imperial reinforcements. Though the British swiftly occupied the Boer republics, numerous Boers refused to accept defeat and engaged in guerrilla warfare. Eventually, British scorched earth policies brought the remaining Boer guerillas to the negotiating table, ending the war.
The Boer commandos or "Kommandos" were volunteer military units of guerilla militia organized by the Boer people of South Africa. Light, mobile commandos were undeniably better-suited than the slow-moving columns of imperial troops, for warfare in the rough frontier mountains.

The British eventually won the war, ending Zulu dominance of the region.
The 91st (Princess Loiuse's Argyllshire) Highlanders wore the scarlet frock with trews. The 91st were shown to wear black pouches of a slightly older design rather than the buff ammunition pouches. The equipment is worn in marching order.

GIGN (Groupe d'intervention de la Gendarmerie nationale National Gendarmerie Intervention Group) is the elite police tactical unit of the French National Gendarmerie. Its missions include counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, surveillance of national threats, protection of government officials, and targeting organized crime.
GIGN was established in 1973 following the Munich massacre, created initially as a relatively small tactical unit specialized in sensitive hostage situations. It has since grown into a larger force with expanded responsibilities and capabilities. Although most of its operations take place in France, the unit, as a component of the French Armed Forces, can operate anywhere in the world. Many of its missions are secret, and members are not allowed to be publicly photographed. Since its formation, GIGN has been involved in over 1,800 missions and rescued more than 600 hostages, making it one of the most experienced counter-terrorism units in the world.

WW2 German with Flamethrower
$21.00
$20.00
Sold out
The flamethrower was a potent weapon with great psychological impact, inflicting a particularly horrific death. The operators would rarely be taken prisoner, and if they were, would risk summary execution. It was primarily used against battlefield fortifications, bunkers, and other protected emplacements. A flamethrower projects a stream of flammable liquid, rather than flame, which allows bouncing the stream off walls and ceilings to project the fire into unseen spaces, such as inside bunkers or pillboxes.
The Flammenwerfer 41, or FmW 41 (literally, "flame thrower") was the standard German flamethrower beginning in 1941 and an upgraded version of the earlier Flammenwerfer 35.

Prior to World War 2, the British Army was a small professional army, designed to win rapid victories through superior mobility and fire-power. However, their doctrine of casualty avoidance, due to the horrendous losses of World War 1, meant they were at odds to the German Blitzkrieg strategy. This proved fatal at the start of the war when fighting alongside the French against the German onslaught, and despite their valiant effort, could not hold them back. The army was restructured and vastly enlarged to be able to fight on multiple fronts and counter the new development of highly mobile warfare. The British Infantry would go on to fight in almost every theatre of the war, constantly improving and learning from their mistakes.

Radio was imperative during the war, constant communication a necessity for coherence between units and to relay information about the enemy. They were of particular use to artillery spotters, infantry signal platoons, and the Royal Corps of Signals.

In the field, officer equipment was usually limited to a pistol (P08 Luger or P-38 Walther) and binoculars. Officers would often have their tunics tailored so it would be of a higher quality with more rounded pockets and roll-back cuffs. Breeches were worn instead of trousers, which would be tucked into black boots. From 31 October 1939 all officers below general-officer in combat units were ordered to wear the other ranks uniform, but many continued to wear their former uniforms or modified the other ranks' tunic by adding officer details.
We have designed the officer for taking part in the early stages of WW2, but can be used for any part of the conflict across the European theatres. The M36 tunic with the bottle-green collar was highly thought of and many later tunics were modified by salvaged M36 collars or had bottle-green collar overlays.

During WW2 plans were made for Germany to invade the Low Countries in order to use them as a base against Great Britain, as well as to pre-empt a similar attack by the Allies which would threaten the vital Ruhr Area. While the Dutch had begun to re-arm, along with their neighbors, when Hitler came to power it was done slowly and with great care not to provoke a German response. When Germany did invade the Dutch Army was poorly armed and equipped to contend with their opposition. The centuries old Dutch tactic of flooding part of the countryside to protect the major western cities from invasion, the Holland Water Line, was modernized with fortresses and pillboxes. Despite Dutch efforts the German advance was all but inevitable, with superior ground forces, use of paratroopers, and devastating Luftwaffe bombing raids, the nation was quickly overrun and forced to surrender.

American Civil War Confederate Soldier
$18.75
$17.85
Sold out
At the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861 the US Army was small and lacking of experience, with only 16,000 enlisted men and officers. Neither side was prepared militarily for the conflict, with much of the army scattered across the vast expanse of the American West. Loyalty would be an issue as units were called eastwards to either form the army sent to subdue the rebellion, or to join it. Compelled to join a side they would be torn by loyalty to their country, their native state, and to their army. Since the Confederacy had no regular army before the war one had to be created, with militia and state units drawn to do so.
Confederate regulation uniforms were similar to those for the US army, although they were generally grey in color. The kepi was the preferred headgear for officers, but was also popular among the enlisted men alongside the ubiquitous slouch hat. The basic equipment was a cartridge box and cap box, a canteen, and perhaps a haversack or a blanket roll for personal items. Knapsacks were rarely used by confederate infantry, with the blanket roll being more comfortable to wear and perhaps offering some additional protection. The blanket roll was made by placing personal items on the blanket (which could range from "issue" blankets to a homemade quilt) and then rolling it up, then wearing it diagonally over his shoulder and across his chest.

Compelled to join a side they would be torn by loyalty to their country, their native state, and to their army. Volunteers would bolster the Union army and fight alongside the more professional regular regiments.
Uniforms of both volunteers and regulars were influenced by the styles popular in Europe, with particular popularity for the French inspired fashion. There would be many uniform variations for the Union regiments due to limitations on material and unit preference, but primarily the Union infantry would be in dark blue jacket and kepi, and light blue trousers.
The dark blue sack coat was practical and comfortable, with trousers often light or sky blue. Sturdy shoes were worn instead of boots, and the kepi was the predominant headwear. A knapsack or pack was standard issue, and a haversack and canteen were essential items also worn.
