Hi all,

I just read a review of the 2 new plastic skirmisher boxes that suggested they are taller than the original infantry box, and might not mix well.

Can anyone please provide a photo of old and new next to each other? Many thanks in advance.


And thanks in advance to the set who'll make the inevitable comment that real-world people come in all sizes.

Do not know about the original plastic infantry, but as compared to the plastic artillery, they are much larger, to the point, I would not use them together. Pity, as they are from the same producer and should be able to be used with the other figures

Thanks Jebb.

That's really disappointing.

I'd been hoping the difference was slight enough that the little plastic tab they stand on could be cut off the newer figures before gluing to bases, and that that would even them out a bit. It doesn't sound like it though.
