Or even a wave 2 Arctic Assault ?

'mountain and Arctic' refers to the theatre of operations of the set, neither the name of the vehicle nor the name of the soldier.

^ like BJ says, it's the operating area. it should really be "mountain and arctic warfare".

wot the Royal Marines train for in Norway, loik. or what Snow Job, Iceberg, Frostbite, Blizzard, Avalanche and Sub Zero from GI Joe all do. or Cobra's Snow Serpents.

and as opposed to, say, Desert Warfare, Jungle Warfare, Urban Warfare or Counter-Revolutionary Warfare. or Electronic Warfare.

I have to admit to having a big soft spot for my "snow bound" guys

Can I use those pics in the archive please? They're cracking.

[Thundershot]

You sure can... you may have to remove the white spot from his nose,
Has any body got a spair white ariel for A.F.9 ?

[Thundershot]

I'm pleased with this one as well..most of the snows gone now

Only thing I can think about them is what officer thought it would be funny to put bright red symbols on there foreheads.

Probably one at the blunt end!

Hi!

Based on the Spanish names (below the English names) on the cardback, I would say that the intention might have been the following -

Name of vehicle: Arctic
Name of figure: Mountain

The Spainish words are:
"Trineo Oruga Artico + Esquiador"

which translates to:
"Arctic Caterpillar Sledge + Skier"

But then again, it's anyone's guess
--------------------------------------------------------
Another possibility:

Name of vehicle: Arctic Caterpillar Sledge AF 9
Name of figure: Mountain and Arctic Skier
--------------------------------------------------------
Another possibility:

As some have suggested, "Mountain and Arctic" is the environment... and

Name of vehicle: AF 9
Name of figure: Esquiador
--------------------------------------------------------

Fun to think about! Great question, Baron!!!
