In timely fashion with the release of the Armies of the United States book we have released on pre-order two new US box sets the Nisei and the Buffalo Soldiers.
Taking the fight to the Axis forces in Italy, the US troops of the 92nd (Coloured) Infantry Division had to overcome not only the enemy but also the prejudice their skin colour brought. Nicknamed Buffalo Soldiers in memory of their ancestors fighting in the American Civil War, they proved themselves and lived by their motto: Deeds not Words!

Great to see American soldiers of different ethnicity's being produced in plastic! (although, I guess I could just paint the normal ones a little differently). Any shots of the sprues?
