In Mid-March, King and Country will be releasing some new pieces to the World War I set (FW). These pieces are FW035 - FW039. These pieces are base on the German Uhlans, a light armor Calvary unit. Originally, developed in Poland, serving later in the Napoleonic War for Prussia. These units were a cavalry unit armed primarily with lances, sabers, pistols, and later rifles. The Uhlan units displayed small flags on the tips of their spears. Originally founded in the 18th century, the Uhlan Calvary was a solution to the emerging use of guns as opposed to swords. This was due to heavy armor becoming obsolete and light mobile units becoming important in battle. The Uhlan cavalry also fought in the Napoleonic Wars.
Also coming in March, King and Country will be releasing NA137-NA150. These pieces depict the Russian soldiers from the Napoleonic Wars. These pieces are an array of soldiers equipped with rifles in various positions, officers with swords, wounded soldiers, and a 5 piece Russian Artillery Set.
Finally, at the end of March, King and Country will be releasing two tanks. The long awaited M24 Chaffee Tank (Olive Drab) DD092 and the Blizkrieg Panzer IV Fob039. The Chaffee tank is ideal for any DDay diorama. The Chaffee was also used in Asia for the Korean War and saw action in the 1st Middle East War.

LAH041 - German Lamppost
