I remember watching an old British WW2 documentray and this old WW2 Commando vet came out with this great line,
he said summat like:
"Canadians. Never trusted them. They dressed like brits, they fought like Brits but they talked like Americans!"
i dunno why but that had me in stiches for about ten minutes lol
No offence was meant by that btw :D lol

Limey is an old saying back in the day when the Brits used to sail a long distance they sucked on Limes to avoid scurvy...

Yeah I know mate, back in are old sea fairing days.
For some reason in british primary schools (school it'll your about 11) all you seem to study history wise is ancient Egypt and bloody diseases like scurvy lol
The only reason we had to take limes anyway is cos we live feck all close to anywhere else lol (except france, but we usually avoid there if we can :D)
Ska
*EDIT* sorry, i've jus totally distracted this thread lol great reskin!

Nice looking set.
Do you think you could maybe release one where the paras are wearing the Commonwealth para helmet?
Im liking it. Out goes my 2nd Canadian in comes my 1st. I'm a fan of the 1st Airborn because I know one that jumped on D-Day and he's a great supporter of my air cadet squadron. I'll ask him about the shotguns.
And about Canadians working fast, we are a pretty effecient country at a lot of things. The Americans have money to waste so they are not effecient, that swy in Afghanistan when they had no money to waste, they called upon the Canadian Engineers to fix their battered vehicles.

M12 Shotguns. I beleive Canadian infantry were also issued shotguns, or at least that's what Last Great War says:D
