- 72145 - WWII Italian Paratroopers

New releases and new projects
There have been two new releases this week. The first is 'Thracians' from Ultima Ratio, and the second is 'Nika Revolt' from Linear-A. Both have already started to appear at stockists.

For those with an interest in American history, two new sets of minis are also planned:

- M166 - Comanche Warriors
All these Strelets sets have appeared on some websites as future releases, which usually means they are due for release very soon. |

More ancients on the way
It is a golden age for ancient figures, and another new set is on the horizon. This time it is Ultima Ratio, who are preparing a set entitled 'The Thracians' under the broad banner of 'Rome'. With 33 figures in 11 poses, it looks like this may be released quite soon. |

Four new futures from Linear-A
The quantity of future products from Linear-A shows no sign of slowing, and recently they added four new sets to their announced plans:
- 145 - Agamemnon's Court
- 146 - Kalif Harun al-Raschid
- 147 - Gangs/Revolt in Rome (Set 2)
- 148 - Napoleonic French Engineers Crossing Rivers
With so many sets apparently in development there is no indication of how long these four might take, but many others will probably appear before we see them. |

More elephants
Another new set has emerged from the Linear-A stable, and again it involves elephants. The set is 049 'Seleucid Elephants vs Ptolemaic Elephants, Battle of Raphia 217 BCE', and features five different elephants along with the appropriate crew, so a very big set! |
