Love the figures, and as a side note Field Marshal Rommel was a commander of alpine Troops in WW1.  Not sure how much use that was to him in the desert......

usually sold in toy shops, hobby shops...
if none around your area, search the internet,
maybe Dragon has a website or track down any importers or their resellers in your country...good luck...promise to tell us about your adventure when you find it  :)
