I have noticed a number comments about the US Paratroopers for WW2, and the concern over their size. I think they offer some great gaming opportunities BECAUSE of their size. The average height of a Japanese soldier during the war was something like 5' 4". GHQ's Japanese infantry look taller than that to me. So if the Japanese infantrty faces the US Paratroopers (11th Airborne Division) in the reconquest of the Philipines, the proper size difference of the opponents would seem to be properly achieved.

And don't forget you really can't use them next to any 1/285 scale vehicles. Unless of course you're going for that Magilla Gorilla strap a jeep on to each foot like roller skates look.

According to their own propaganda, they were actually 10 feet tall and defecated ice creamDAK wrote:That may be true, but the U.S. paratroops were not 7 feet tall in WW2 either. They are clearly bigger than that the rest of the WW2 line. The detail on them are outstanding, but the are a little too big for me.
