Good review! I also see you had the same gap problems with the Shermans. Charles |

Make sure you check out the recent Battlefront boot camp videos on youtube. |

Nice first look. But a 296 page rulebook? How much of that is rules? |
| Privateer4hire | 03 Jun 2012 9:28 a.m. PST |
Most of it. The mini rulebook covers the full rules provided in the larger hard back book. |

is it just me or does the muzzel breaks look weird on those stug's?
great review! |

Nice review, thanks. I just bought this set today and I agree the new plastic models are well done. Thanks for the tip about clamping the Shermans together. |

John, I agree ref muzzle breaks, but I think it might be that the guys have somehow omitted to trim the end of the mb, done it meself! Anyway, thats my take on it.
Good review GG. Mike |

No John its not just you – blew the picture up to 200% on the one of them on the sprue – both the 75mm anfd 105mm barrels appear to have a very strange muzzlebreak – wonder if it is a miscast?
Hmm on the BF website the pic of the sprues looks the same but on the pictures of ther finished model the muzle breaks look normal – wonder if they used blister models for thephoto and no one has noticed the 'new' look muzzle breaks? |

The reviewer seems to have left the end of the muzzle brake off!

Interesting wonder why they cast a separate end of the muzzle break? |

It's nice that the tanks are meant to be used with magnets, and that the magnets actually come with the models. |

Are the 50mm MG and tank leader for the Shermans to correct scale? They seem oversize? But I like the price. |

The Ma Duce is a BHM – Big Honking MG IIRC |
