Ok... slightly more 'on topic', rulebook never arrived before christmas holidays (no post now till tuesday! ) and I'm dying to put an order in for some new miniatures. So, if its not against forum or Darkson policy, could someone tell me how many models I need to make up a Volkssturm unit and how many I need for a Waffen SS unit (armed with StG's)?

The blisters are sold as units. So if you want to do a Regular Greatcoat unit you would buy 1 blister. For 1 Green Volkstrum unit you would get one German Trooper blister. We wanted to make it as easy as we could on you guys.

Chhers for that Darkson... so using the 'militia' miniatures I have from Musketeer I already have enough for a three man unit! The SS could easily number two, two man units once I've ordered the Bolt Action minis I have my eye on! Cool! ;D

Wow. I did not know that about the wolfsangel, thanks for that tidbit! I was just reading about Otto Skorzeny the other day and the Werwolf stuff. Really interesting. And from the picts I saw, he looked a lot taller and broader than everyone else... maybe a Werewolf himself? And that sinister scar... model SS guy.

Also supposedly the founder of ODESSA.

Actually the scar would have detracted from model SS status among the german propagandists - they wanted clean Aryan knights. However he would have made an AMAZING Bond villain or even an Antihero character. And when you track down his combat record.... I'd not want to go up against him normally, let alone with the setting of AE-WW2

Well I meant more pop culture wise etc, with all the scarred, limping, spectacled sinister SS and Gestapo types. Definitely during the day he would've not been the top pick for "the look," though he was certainly the top pick for masterminding every other major operation...
Wonder how he got the scar, but then again that's off topic >,<

Otto's scar was from a university fencing duel, what is called a 'Schmiss' or 'smite'.
