Not that it will stop me...
I'm really not sure what I'd do with Dutch Army figures? Yes I remember them now, they look like they'd mix well with Crusader.

There’s a cracking action on the Rotterdam Bridges on May 10th - 120 Germans landed on the River Maas in seaplanes and seized the bridges, then had to hold them until reinforced. Always wanted to do that as a demo game (but trying to build it all in 28mm defeated me :( )

I've made up the five that came with MW and they are nice, the arrows are a bit delicate though. I'll be watching for the mounted ones to be released as my dwarves could use some skirmish cavalry.

Lion Rampant Crusader States supplement and the Rapid Fire reloaded booklet as late Christmas presents to myself.

Both very good! People have moaned on facebook about the cost of the LR supplement but it's huge compared to the rule book. As my LR forces are of the early Crusades theatre I thought it might be useful. Lots of good scenarios in there on first thumb through. The Rapid Fire Reloaded is really interesting, will definately give it a whirl at some point. Bascally many of the charts have been replaced by dice rolls so the whole thing is Rapid Fire light, designed for smaller faster games. Though would upscale as you'd like. I liked the idea for some small solo battles so we'll see if I get as far as a game with myself at some point.

I'd be very interested to hear how you go with the Rapid Fire reloaded. I've been playing my WW2 with other sets, but it sounds interesting.

I've also buckled and purchased a Schwimmwagen and Sdkfz 251 plus various Warlord Games support options such as the MMG and Panzerschreck, for the Ardennes Germans I started. Anyone have suggestions for winter Heer crew figures for the Schwimmwagen?

Rumour has it that all the posties in the area are isolating. Many people, myself included, haven't had any deliveries for several weeks! Grrrrrr.

But I fear I may have missed your point?
