A long delayed project of mine. A 1978 small but daring affair. I am thinking of using WWII british paras. Can please Peter or Igor tell me whar are or is the look of WWB23 airborne jeeps?...  no picture in the catalogue... the rest I think I can manage. Thanks in advance.

I have the info. Meaning the book, the movie they made about it... even Wikipedia is very good a source... but I am having second thoughts... I will get a new book beginning next week (dear amazon)... but to stage a showdown between a highly professional mercenary elite unit (one of my pets) and some bunch of wild militia politically induced to massacre europeans and their families is a bit disgusting now that I look close to the matter.... I will probably pass from it and follow my instinct in wargaming nothing after 1900... sorry if I raised expectations. BTW it IS possible to do it with Baccus minis.
