Special Figure (available while stocks last) 
Alongside the book comes the ‘Desert Lightning’ special book figure, representing a tough-as-nails paratrooper fighting in the Western Desert campaign. With two optional sets of arms brandishing a variety of improvised anti-tank weapons, he’s the perfect accompaniment to any Italian force.
