Review:
by Bill Rutherford
This starter pack contains a small (7 figure) squad including an SL w/radio, two tommygunners, a BAR man, and 3 riflemen. As with other figures in this range, these troops run about 19.5mm from sole to eye and are of medium-heavy heft, though they fit well with some lighter troops such as SHQ's and MLR's figures. These figures are consistent with the rest of Brittania's range in that they pack in a lot of detail - some of which you'll notice only after priming them for painting. As with previous releases, equipment and weapons run a bit heavy, which is generally par for this scale. The lower body proportion problems remain - high knees, long ankles, etc., - but when painted and based, they're convincing. If you "do" Brittania, these will be welcome additions to your army. Available for between $1.00 and $1.25 per figure, from your local gameshop, or directly from The Elite Group, at 2625 Forest Glen Trail, Riverwoods, IL 60015. * The Courier uses the Tobey Barrett Measurement [BM] System to simplify comparison of figure sizes. The number is the height in millimeters from the bottom of the figure's foot (top of base) to its eyes. The letter refers to the "heft" of the figure: L=light, M=medium, and H=heavy. Thus, Hs will fit in with other Hs and some Ms, but not Ls.
