Among my loot from Paris was this quartet of Starlux figures. Representing 1960s the French army, these will find their way into various Little Cold Wars units. The three helmeted chaps are - from left - an officer, an NCO type and a flamethrower. In the green beret is a lady soldier - a pleasing rarity.

Hi Tim, there is definitely something distinctive to Starlux figures, not suggesting they are better than British-made, but they are different. And they add interest to any collection. I was lucky to pick up a fair number a few years back. They included eight post-ww2 French or US infantry (some debate over this) in a pale green camouflage. Inspired by your Cold War actions, I hope to use them in some future games.

Great figures Tim, Starlux are unique indeed! Years ago I played a Louis Riel Rebellion game with Starlux figures exclusively. Their Mounties and Trappers were perfect to fit my needs!

They do have a certain charm - I too have been fortunate to pick up quite a few in various periods.

I have seen some of the Mounties - quite rare figures. Are there photos of your game?
The photos and accompanying article are to be found in PLASTIC WARRIOR MAGAZINE, issue #65. One of the photos clearly shows how well the Starlux farmer fits with the Timpo Gatling gun!
