So I can't remember any real details, but I thought the Contra Guérillas were a mixed lot of Euros and Mexicans Indians. So wouldn't the shorter guys still work for the natives in the group? If not, that does put you in a bit of a fix.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Joesapperjoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851863340366393341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040044535247270481.post-2518347712961150252013-02-16T23:10:09.321+00:002013-02-16T23:10:09.321+00:00Good point, though the Contras are supposed to be ...Good point, though the Contras are supposed to be Mexican! :-)Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15785517757211882618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040044535247270481.post-9005982185720048312013-02-16T22:42:46.444+00:002013-02-16T22:42:46.444+00:00Hello,

They are generally shorter than me (5' or 5'1"). So assuming that Europeans at this time would be a little taller than me, but not much, it is very realistic to have Mexicans figures be any where from a half to a full head shorter than the Euros. I really would not be worried about the height difference of some of your figures then.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Joesapperjoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851863340366393341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040044535247270481.post-64695372893890693082013-02-16T19:05:52.732+00:002013-02-16T19:05:52.732+00:00Before ordering I send an e-mail to have free samp...Before ordering I send an e-mail to have free sample (but some manufacturer don't send it...)el franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17169153526192105422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040044535247270481.post-28933333602459825112013-02-16T17:04:13.809+00:002013-02-16T17:04:13.809+00:00It really is frustrating.

I am not convinced Gringo 40 is really a wargames figures company. They just don't offer enough variants. Ithink they are designed more for painter/collectors sadly.legatus hedliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078980742683576345noreply@blogger.com
