B & B has introduced an extensive line of building and accessories for WWII. The first offer has many items that will be useful for action on North Africa: Arab style house, Tobruk Pits and Turrets as well as a myriad of sandbagged emplacements for various artillery pieces. There is also a set of damaged buildings that work well for Western Europe. These are all nicely detailed and will paint up very nicely (I tend to spray with a basecoat then drybrush details – it goes very quickly and looks good). Prices vary from $1.98 for camouflaged oil drums (ideal for a fuel dump objective) to$34.98 for a large Arab house complete with courtyard – this can be as easily used in a colonial game. I especially like the sandbagged emplacements mentioned above. They will give your desert battlefield a realistic look. Most of these items can be used with 15mm figures as well. They are available from Brookhurst Hobbies at 12188 Brookhurst St., Garden grove, CA 92840. Check out their web page at http://www.brookhursthobbies.com More Courier Reviews
