Hommes soupe

 

This pair of Mokarex hard plastic figures came from the Paris show in March.  They represent the chaps who did the dangerous but essential work of taking forward soup, bread and wine to front line positions.  I hope they make it!

    These are amazing!

    I can see them being useful in all sorts of ways (unlike the schwimmwagen) - as objectives, providing bonuses, etc.

    I was delighted to find them but why the downer on Schwimmwagens? We’re you attacked by one as a child? I think we need to know!

    These Mokarex Great War figures are a real delight - I’m hoping to find more next year.

    Those are lovely figures, especially the stack of bread they are carrying.
