We have a winner - but don't worry, I had to look it up myself and I, too, have no idea what Phyllosan is/was or does/did. It's from the early 1950s, so it even predates me (1959); in fact, I've struggled to find any advertising for it that is in colour!!!
Iron supplement and vitamins basically.......

It was (apparently) also marketed as Sanatogen, which is a more familiar name for most of us.
Strangely Phyllosan is actually the name of an anti-histamine too!

This is odd. When I follow your links, the fortifications are there. If I leave that page and go to say the 15mm resin building menu, I have 5 pages and they don't include the fortifications!

It's the same with the 28mm page.

I wonder if I inadvertently declined cookies or something? :?

That's interesting. I think it's probably due to them not putting all the links back in properly, having had to rebuild their site following the recent crash that hit dozens of wargame companies.

That probably explains it.

I am interested in the 28mm Italian walls but can’t find them on the site. Has anyone seen them in the going by?

The "search" function will bring them up:

However, it's a bit erratic. I cannot bring up the 15mm version!

“Social media gives legions of idiots the right to speak when they once only spoke at a bar after a glass of wine, without harming the community... but now they have the same right to speak as a Nobel Prize winner. It's the invasion of the idiots.” ― Umberto Eco: novelist, critic
Indeed. It used to be that village idiots were ostracised loners and only had the opportunity of sharing their 'ideas' with the pigeons on the village square. They'd never travel to the next village and most importantly, would never breed...

Now they can communicate, share their idiocy and most tragically, multiply.

Worse, they can vote.
