FROM PHONEY WAR TO DUNKIRK!

As Hitler's war machine overran Europe, British soldiers were sent en masse to help defend France and also made a failed attempt to relieve Norway. German Blitzkrieg warfare was too much for the smattering of veterans and relatively green troops sent to Europe after hasty training. Outmaneuvered and outgunned they eventually fell back on the coast. Many were evacuated during the brave effort at Dunkirk but many also ended up as German POWs. 

This hard plastic box set will allow you to build both BEF and Home Guard troops (and useful for Imagi-Nations British civil wars too!) Equipped with SMLE and P-14/17 Enfield rifles, Bren and Lewis light machine guns, and Thompsons and BARs. A variety of hats and helmets allow you to portray a wide variety of troops. 

This set was developed as part of our Vox Populi voting system where YOU decide what we make in hard plastic!

5 frames per box build up to 30 figures.

Models require assembly and painting. Bases are not included. Not for Children. Contents may vary from photos.

Joshua ★★★★★

I got this to understand the initial stages of WWII better, and the detail on the failed Norway campaign is exactly what I was hoping for. The breakdown of the Phoney War makes the lead-up to Dunkirk feel much more real.

Mia ★★★★★

The map of the Phoney War front was a nice surprise, really helps visualize the early troop movements. This is a solid overview of the chaotic first months, from Norway to the retreat at Dunkirk.

Leo I. ★★★★★

I’ve been digging into the Norway campaign details and the way this breaks down the Phoney War into Dunkirk is exactly what I needed. The map of the troop movements really helped me picture the chaos of the retreat.
