Heer46 (OOP)
Heer46 ran successful kickstarter in 2019 for an Italy range of FJ covering the mid-to-late war period. While the kickstarter was successful and the range distributed, unfortunately Heer46 is closed atm with an unclear future. If they return this range has some unique figures and poses for an Italy themed force and includes pioneer figures and the 8.7cm puppchen rocket gun.
