Looks like a good way for new players to get into the game. The price is a good one for what you get. |

Actually, I am surprised that no one has done this video sooner. I do not know of any other WW2 starter sets for miniatures with the rules in them and an introductory guide. Kudos! |

Actually, Italeri put out a game called "Operation: Overlord" that included 200 Germans and Americans (100 each) and 2 tanks, rules and cards. I believe the price was $65. USD The Infantry were of various poses and unit types, you got Mortars and Anti-tank weapon figures too. The big problem for me with this set, the tanks were model kits. MUCH assembly required. But I really liked the rules.  Dave |

Hey! They got StuGs whose schuerzen weren't all shattered to pieces. Lucky guys! Allen |

SHHHHHH, Quiet Allen, the FOW police might hear you! We'll offer up someone else instead. |

Yeah, I got the shattered shuerzen on mine plus they have a resin "plug" on the bottom where they poured the resin into the mold that was not sanded down well so my tanks all sit lopsided. I should be able to fix it with a dremel but I havent gotten around to it. |

My StuGs were also broken on the skirts (schuerzen?). Since I'm playing US Rifles, I went ahead and converted the broken German tanks to 15mm sci-fi. One Sherman is drunk due to the cast, too :) |

hmm…I have operation overlord and it's 1st expansion Paratrooper Attack sat next to me still. Loved the rules, but it's dead now..author suffered upownarseitis from what i gather. Nonetheless a great excuse to buy a shedload of airfix and italeri kits, which are now used for BKC… Back on topic…Wouldnt at least a few bases of infantry included be a good idea? |
