@JTam Thats what I've also though. An additional, optional leg rather than something being missing. Just requires some converting. Either way, its Mark's mold.
Isn't this them providing an extra leg(s) to allow an alternate pose(s)? Am I missing something?
@Grumpy Gnome The every Marine is a Rifleman/Infantryman first is a myth. The Marine Corps is of course tooth heavy (doesn't have a lot of service support) because most of their logist...
@Grumpy Gnome Yes, I believe you're correct. Especially now that production is in the US they're in direct control of it, whilst boxes are printed elsewhere.

@GreenScorpion I do not think WGA relies on third party production of their plastics but I could be wrong. I thought their plastics were made in-house but boxes were third party. But again, I ...

I believe this is usual. Every review I've seen, some of them contemporary to the sets release, mention these legs, as well as being unsure what to do with them.
@Charles Tottington While 3d printing is hobby on its own, I don't think it is entirely to blame for this situation. But I do understand most of your frustration. The only games situation is unfor...
@Dennis Horne I bought and read Konflikt 47 as well as Bolt Action. They just did not do it for me. For sci-fi combat rules Stargrunt is good option that I read, and it is free, but I take you...
Charles, tes mots sont rudes... mais justes (Your words are harsh... but fair). Thank you. First of all, the right to a free and open, loyal expression, is guaranteed here. We are certainly consum...

@Grumpy Gnome I think it setms from people trying to make fun of us by calling us Crayon eaters. Marines, being Marines, did the Marine thing and accepted this as a sideways compliment. Personally,...
So, last night I was going through my Jagers as I worked on getting the box built, and noticed something rather obvious once it's seen (and maybe you have all noticed it alread) but there are missi...
@Grumpy Gnome Sorry, I meant to say 'something like Konflikt 47', a base rule set which functions with proper suport, suppression, vehicles et al. Never played it as I avoid both BA and 40K rules e...
@Mark Dewis Yeah, would be nice if buying the boxes direct allowed you to case a few free votes. Since you're pretty much paying the same amount either if you bought 7 votes or bought a box directly.
Thanks for being understanding guys. You too Hudson, you helped to explain some stuff for me.
Get Joseph A McCullough on the line. He doesn't just do work for Osprey... @Grumpy Gnome I fully agree on the opportunity to make it a unique blend of shooty wargame and sports. Just making it ano...
@Charles Tottington it's called an incentive to buy direct from the manufacturer, like a store discount for muliple box orders.

Are you limited to licensing to Only Games as a condition of selling STLs through My Mini Factory?
I get the frustration. 3D printing chatter seems to drown out everything else. Even when I had a functioning printer*, I couldn't follow it all. Too many companies sell STLs. &nbs...
@Geoff Maybury I got PRK two years ago, and I noticed that my near vision slipped a touch. No big deal- we're talking within a few inches of my face and I can't really focus. At regular distances, ...
@Colin Brinkley Yeah, I look every oncein a while, and see some up there. I like the 1/100 scale ones. They are well scaled to stand in as Armigers or the like. i have one of each full sized, and t...
Decent rant. 8/10. Would LOL at "PrinterBros" again.

@JTam Who says you can`t teach an old dog new tricks, you can with the aid of a really smart young dog. Thank you Tam. Cheers Geoff.
