Having just read the reviews from the Plastic Soldier Review website, and seen the pictures I have come to the following conclusion...yum! Sure it's true that the set does not seem to really focus on the 'Anti Tank Team' role at all, but that does not distract from it's role in helping bulk up any of the 'Big Four' armies of the period.I think Italeri have really been mistaken in their description of the kit, instead of 'Anti Tank Teams' a better offering would be 'Infantry Support WW2'.
I think that all figures offer something to the wargamer except for perhaps the Germans of which are over indulged in most figure scales. The Soviet and the British Para's are of particular interest as these bulk out the existing Italeri sets of these forces on the market.
One or two packets will certainly be on my list for the Christmas buy up.
I agree wholeheartedly. When I saw them I thought "they ain't all armour-busters".
ReplyDeleteSince I'm doing Germans, I also agree with your second point, that right now I don't need them. But - if someone's selling them for $5 at a Swap&Sell, of course they'll come home with me!
