Lancashire Games WW2 US Infantry


Lancashire Games is a British manufacturer offering troops in 20mm for World War Two, and 25mm for Ancient, Medieval and Napoleonic campaigns. The photo above shows several poses from Lancashire Games’ 20mm WWII American range. (Click on the image for a larger version.)
I believe the figures include poses from the following codes:

20/US1 Infantry Command
20/US2 Infantry Advancing
20/US3 Infantry Firing
20/US4 Infantry with SMG

I picked these figures up in a “bring and buy” in a single battle pack. It was marked as “20/WBP32,” which is the code for “American Infantry.” However, as shown above, the bag contained 31 figures, while Lancashire’s website only promises 24 figures in a battle pack. Perhaps they used to release larger battle packs, or maybe my bag had been supplemented by the original owner.

Besides the Americans, Lancashire offers a wide range of figures covering the well-known, and the not so well-known, participants in the Second World War. They include:
