King & Country · Afrika Korps · AK150
AK150 contains a soldier carrying two water cans and another rolling a fuel drum. It is a two-man supply set, with contrasting upright and bent poses and white identification markings on the water containers.
Historical inspiration
At El Alamein, fuel shortages restricted the Axis army’s ability to fight a mobile battle. The National Army Museum connects that supply difficulty with Rommel’s reliance on strong defensive positions and minefields.
Review
This is a more useful combination than two identical can carriers. One figure handles water and the other fuel, and either can work independently of his companion. The large drum makes the second pose distinctive. AK060 is the more closely interacting pair; AK150 offers greater flexibility and depicts the labour of supplying vehicles as well as men.
