They scale up for better and are almost as good as the Empress/ Imprint ones (with the exception of the BRDM-2).<br />Also take another look at the Eureka ANP minis. They are wearing PASGT helmets. The Iraqi Police and Army only introduced them with the post invasion governing.<br />Devil Dog Designs had some really nice Iraqis as well, but they are long OOP, so you will have to take a look on eBay.<br /><br />On a personal note... I have both Eureka and Empress USMC. I personally prefer the Eureka ones. They are both correct equipment wise, but if you look at photos of Marines in the field, their equipment gets rougher and includes more self purchased items. That is the look the Eureka ones have, while the Empress ones look more like 29 Palms, Camp Lejeune, etc..DHC Wargameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09088231415217189015noreply@blogger.com
