When you think about toy soldiers, you normally
have miniature battle fields in mind. Little models portraying
the action in combat, showing the primary activities of
warfare: tossing grenades, carrying ammunition, or assaulting
in full combat dress.
But there is more to everyday life in a campaign, then
just fighting, or preparing for the fight. Lineol and Hausser produced a
series of figures, that show us in amazing detail what the camp life was like.
