I needed some bases and dice frames for the flight stands for the Falklands Air War project, so put in an order with Warbases the other day. To make the postage worthwhile, I also bundled in some Commando Miniatures 28mm Arab Regular figures, on the pretext that I already have some British figures from the same range but no opposition. The figures are actually pretty good, with the sculpting and poses better than the British infantry that I already have. 

The thinking behind this is to set up two squad level forces for an imaginary 1960’s, counterfactual conflict in somewhere not quite like Aden or Oman, with the Arab figures playing the part of the Arab Nationalist bad guys (or good guys, depending on your point of view). A cheap and cheerful project that I can use my existing 28mm Old West and Back of Beyond terrain, on a different level to my 15mm Sandbox Skirmish project.
