There is a new item that could make for a very interesting drive through the corn field from Juweela.

This looks to be another promising product with my only question being; what area would 50 of these cover?

Looks promising and better than any I have seen to date. Wonder how tall the stalks will be? If they are higher than shoulder height than to use them (as is) during the A.C.W. would be wrong. In the 1920's I belive it was, corn was geneticaly enginered (messed with) for more growth potential and more corn harvest per stalk. During the A.C.W. corn was only shoulder heigh, anything higher would be from a latter date. I suppose you could cut the height down to fit in but the amount of corn would have to be reduced also. I would rather it be taller so you have the option to go either way. Still, (no put down on the product as information is information) it looks real good. Will have to put my eye ball on it.

Looks like a nice item. Cool place to put a Panzerfaust team or MG crew.

You are absolutely right! ACW corn is different from 20th cent corn, but as you said....one can always cut the stalks down a bit!

For all discussions about heights!

Nice to create a Leo on a west German field during Reforger!

I am the US importer -- and I'm happy to say that we have these coming in on our next restock. Look for them in January at http://www.secretweaponminiatures.com/ -- and I'll get them to distributors and hobby stores as quickly as the orders come in.
