Infantry in Combat Command boxes

Post by zephyr40k »

Hello,

I have noticed that some Combat Command boxes (like the Modern German or French) contain infantry, whereas that country's listing does not list any infantry available for that country. In other words, while the Modern German Combat Command box contains infantry, there is nowhere in the catalog a listing for a blister pack of "Modern German infantry." Does that mean the infantry from these Conbat Commands is from a different nation, for example USA?

The main reason I ask is because if I buy a Combat Command box and then want to buy more infantry to supplement it, I want to make sure I'm buying the right infantry.

zephyr40k,

I'm 99% sure the "German" soldiers are US. They are definitely not German.

I have the Modern German CC and I am reasonably sure that the infantry is the same as the US Infantry Blister packs. I think all NATO (allied) CCs are the same.

If we make infantry for a country, then that is what is included in the Combat Command. If we don't make infantry for a country, then we include something else. At this point there are only two Combat Commands that presents any possible confusion, N-154 Modern German Combat Command- this set contains Modern US infantry, and DS-150 Iraq in the Desert 1990- this set contains Modern Russian infantry. Every other Combat Command set has infantry that were specifically designed to represent that country, and era. In addition, all of our infantry are sold in blister packs and are listed in our catalog/website. We don't make any infantry that is not available in a blister pack.

Thank you for your support,
GHQ

That's great, thanks. I don't mind using US Modern infantry with my Modern German vehicles. I just want to make sure I know what it is I'm getting, so they will all match.
