Does any one know if the American PAratroopers box set contain Snipers and path finders?
I am currently reworking my 101st.Airborne company and need some more troopers.

The American Parachute Company box? If you're talking about UBX 18, it does NOT contain snipers. What would the pathfinder figures look like? I ended up with 4 loose figures after making the 18 Rifle/MG teams, 5 Bazooka teams, 2 Mortar teams, and 4 Command teams.

Pathfinders look like this: http://images.frpgames.org/products/product_58959.jpg

I know my para box set didn't contain any...

Yeah, it is the UBX 18 set. I was just wanting to know.Because sometime BF puts in models that are not listed in the box set contents.
Also if any one has any extra Paras they would like to trade i have theese models up trade. http://www.bartertown.com/trading/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=164192
The GIs are left overs from my Down sized Glider Infantry.I keep the Glider troopers different after reading some articles about them and i also seen a few Glider companies on the forums that were made from them and also it saves on some confusion on the battlefield.

Thanks to every one who replied.I found a you tube video of the box contents..And darn it does not contain any of the items i was wanting.

Now, what batttle front needs to do is give us a set for the American PAras like the Col. Frost set.

I just found out something interesting,The orginal Para company set contained snipers and path Finders.Which i thought was interesting since i have just acquired one.!!!
Lets just say now i think i have enough Paratroopers.When it is all said and done i should have around 125 to 150 stands worth of Para and Glider Goodies.That is just Infantry ,weapons Plattons and my 75.mm Howitzers.When all my orders arrive i will post a pik of them.

Yes, the older para company set has snipers and pathfinders (along w/ the ubiquitous paratrooper cart thingy that they seem to stick into way more sets than you'd really want). The only real downside to that set (it's the one I have) is that the LMG and loader figures don't seem to be as cool as the ones in the newer sets (it's many copies of two sculpts, guy holding LMG and walking and guy holding ammo and a tripod over his shoulder). That said, you get the full three platoons, snipers, pathfinders and Lt. Turner Turnbull, so I think it's a better deal if you can find it.

I don't actually have them in front of me, but I believe he's another US Paratrooper who's intended to be modeled on the same base as Lt. Turnbull. If you look at Battlefront's pictures of the Lt. Turnbull figure you should be able to see what you're getting.

I did and he is not pictured.All you get is a three man team.

But thanxs for the help......

Sorry, turns out I was thinking of the picture on this page:

The first picture is the Lt. Turner Turnbull one, and it has the wounded figure on it.
