They look great! Just one comment - what you call a 'squad', the British Army calls a 'section'. Just semantics, but I always think it sounds better to use the right term for each army!

Cheers,

D'oh, I know that! Or should. Thanks for catching it, it's fixed here and on my site!

Not to confuse matters further, but British soldiers are also known as squaddies and pongos or by thier regimental nickname (eg Reme's, paras, Ghurkas etc), sailors are matelots, RAF are crabfats and our hard as nails Royal Marines are known as Royals, booties, bootnecks, leathernecks............

I was pondering this the other day, I'm have been known to get a bit miffed over the use of the term squad rather than section. To balance things I am now going to correct anyone who uses squad/section for Germans and insist they use Gruppe (can't do the same for other nations until I actually find the correct term)

Nice sub-unit by the way, look forward to seeing the full Platoon (or Troop if they're Engineers )

Or 'Surrender Monkeys' by the Army.

Don't let any Royals hear you say that - they'll string you up by your nether regions and use you for bayonet practice!
