When we took on the ArmiesArmy range of 15mm figures we inherited a splendid looking British officer figure<\/a> complete with handlebar moustache, electronic monocle and swagger stick. Although his rank at the time was uncertain, we adopted him as ‘The Brigadier’. I’ve painted several versions of him, and our current Twitter\/Facebook profile picture is a version in Ukrainian colours<\/a>. Later we added a version of him to the PacFed armoured infantry<\/a>, still with the monocle but with a big gun instead of the swagger stick. More recently he swapped his armour for a head scarf and cloak and took to the sands as part of the new range of Hashemite Desert Raiders<\/a> – this version was nicknamed ‘The Brigadier of Arabia’.<\/p>\n

Now the Brigadier has gone east and has become the ‘polski brygadier’ – or Polish Brigadier. The swagger stick is back, and he looks very dapper in his wide breeches and Polish cavalry boots. He also sports a square-topped czapka<\/a><\/em> peaked cap.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After the news of a new version of the Brigadier, anything else is bound to be underwhelming, but we’ll plough on. Also new this week is a 15mm trailer-mounted air-defence system known as the Atgeir, made from a new missile mounting fitted to the existing Varningr trailer. The quad-missile launcher has four parts – two missile pairs, launcher body and base. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The missile mount is also available separately and will fit into the back of some of our flat bed vehicles, such as the Lievre<\/a>, Connestoga<\/a> or Hippo<\/a>.<\/p>\n
