looks good, although (and I know you can't please everyone) I would prefer less commanders and road wheels and more boxes and blankets etc…

just my 2p worth…

looking forward to the British though…

A good and useful product . But I agree with Bindon Blood. Especially as the commanders you get in the tank sets anyway.

So doing the maths, as you get I think 3 sprues per box so that's 36 tank commanders . Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too many :)

Will there be 15mm stowage sets?

christot17 Oct 2014 7:39 a.m. PST

"Fewer" commanders, not "less"….and 36 is nearly enough…but not quite..

BeneathALeadMountain17 Oct 2014 7:46 a.m. PST

Darkest Star: Accordingly on it's way. I got all excited, then read the scale. Have to agree on the commanders – would much prefer stowage and stuff as I'm sculpting all my commanders to fit in with my Peter Pig infantry and don't need any more. I'm waiting (impatiently) for the 15mm stowage, marders/38t's, carriers, and anything else they do!

CATMAN217 Oct 2014 8:28 a.m. PST

15mm german stowage and commanders due for release 30th October, up for pre-order next week

BeneathALeadMountain17 Oct 2014 9:36 a.m. PST

Thanks CATMAN. I'll start getting excited now.

Richard Baber17 Oct 2014 12:17 p.m. PST

Ordered :-)

Darkest Star Games Sponsoring Member of TMP17 Oct 2014 12:22 p.m. PST

Right on Catman! Thanks!

Andy ONeill17 Oct 2014 3:33 p.m. PST

Superb. Must order these.

Royston Papworth19 Oct 2014 5:49 a.m. PST

Sigh… Christot, this is not the place, neither are you the person to correct my poor use of the English language.

If I want to improve I will go to a forum on the use of the English language not a wargames forum.

I suggest in future that you may want to join a forum like that, which would give you the opportunity to be rude and picky, rather than exercise your obvious talent for that here…

JD Lee19 Oct 2014 7:52 a.m. PST

Looks awesome! Would prefer more stowage and less commanders but I am definitely buying the set in 15mm.

BlackWidowPilot Fezian19 Oct 2014 9:50 a.m. PST

Nice. Must have in both '72 and 15mm (where my sci fi kitbashed creations will benefit profusely).evil grin

All that stowage looks very promising, and the generic car driver and passengers also look useful.

However, I will have to second the comment about tank commanders – 12 per sprue is quite a lot. I could sort of understand that if one of this sprue will be included in every future German vehicle set (instead of having commanders on the vehicle sprue itself), but I haven't heard anything to indicate that.

So for US an British versions, more stowage and fewer tank commanders would be welcome. Bailed out tank crews with small arms could be useful though. As would tank riders with SMGs, in case of Soviets.

Carlos13th03 Nov 2014 4:49 p.m. PST

Thats a lot of commanders. I would have prefered more stowage and less commanders too.

kevanG06 Nov 2014 6:45 a.m. PST

As many have said,

If the tools are not finalised,

please reduce the tank commanders by at least half and use the space on the sprue for more jerry cans and boxes…maybe a rifle or two.

But Bindon, if Christot doesn't tell you, how will you ever learn?

Mostly stuff that should be included with the tank models.
