5971 (Home of Heroes): Commandos Vs Dragons

Sergeant Terry Banks and his colourful team of Commandos were known for getting the job done. But the Commandos might have bitten off more than they could chew when their next mission, to find and dispatch a Nazi Oberfuhrer obsessed with the occult, led them to the beautiful and mysterious fjords of Norway.

Nobody could have guessed what lay slumbering in the mountains…

5972 (Gold): Buccaneer Bob, R.N.

Thrashing in to attack at forty knots, guns blazing, torpedoes hissing from the tubes…that was how they fought their war in the little ships of the Royal Navy.

To command one of those MTBs, you had to be brave as a lion, quick as lightning, tough as steel. And Lieutenant Bob Stacey was a guy just like that.

5973 (For Action and Adventure): The Long, Bad Night

The Ardennes, 1944. A fog descended on the forest, and former detective Rick Brennan found himself in the thick of it. Separated from his unit, he took shelter in a farmhouse with a disparate crew of American soldiers, a captured German and a disgruntled civilian.

When one of the men was murdered, Rick was convinced the German was innocent, but he’d have a long, bad night ahead of him trying to catch the real killer.

5974 (Silver): Caught In The Trap

For some Burmese tribes, the only way a young lad could prove himself a man was by catching a tiger single‑handed. Even though the occupying Japanese forbade such hunts, Kam-Lee was determined to carry out the age-old ritual. But he wasn’t the only hunter, for the brutal Colonel Samato was stalking a British fighter-pilot through the jungle. Soon, someone was going to be… Caught In The Trap!
