This box set was originally designed around Market Garden organization so there was US para support which supports the stuff in the box.

Just on the tanks themselves, you get 8 Shermans/fireflies (now you can do a different mix due to using the new plastics instead of the old garbage ones) so $60 USD for those tanks and then 3 stugs at average $7.50 USD each so you're essentially buying 10 tanks and getting 1 tank, 2 pak 40s (plastic sprue bit orderable for $6 USD) and a 2 platoon grenadier company and a US para platoon for $70 USD
