it is used mostly for time frame

true the ger. were using everything they had in the later part of the war which means you can use ANY figure from the beginning on but you can't use end of war figures at the beginning

so yes it is important for them to name them for a timeline reference

Well giving the figures names like that sounds better than. "German troops: 1943 Release #26-a".

welll...ummmm....you CAN use those figures for a variety of scenes...I mean....most people do exactly that....

I don't think them labeling boxes a certain way FORCES you to build it for that particular theatre only.

The naming is probably more for ease of finding something rather than to specify a time frame they are modeled after. I find it easier to find something that has a name than searching for German troops 1943? Ya know what I mean?

a ranting from a modeler. i would like DML to STOP naming there figures! like U.S. ARMY AIRBORNE (OPERATION VARSITY 1945) or DESPERATE DEFENSE KORSUN POCKET 1944. just to name some of them there list go's on and on . as any modeler know's putting a name on a german uniform is like . hunting an elephant with a pea shooter it just doesn't  work. anyone who look's at reference's of the german army from 42 on. knows that they wore what ever they had. and for the U.S. AIRBORNE  was'nt there a little thing called normandy. oh yeh and what about operation market Garden. all i'm saying is most if not all of there kit's can be used in different area's of combat. not just what the maker's of the kit's say.  and no i do love DML kit's i buy them often.
