Outland Games

15mm WW II German
Panzer Grenadiers

Reviewed by Bill Rutherford

These come 20 per bag, in eight different poses. The troops measure 15M Barret, from shoesoles to eyes. They wear light field equipment (ammo and water, mainly) and possess a reasonable amount of detail, though much of it doesn't come to light until you've primed the figures. The poses are restrained, but the figures are all standing and all but one of them are turned to the right, leading off on the left foot - look at the picture... Size-wise, the Outland figures will fit in well with most of the figures I've compared them to. Proportions vary a bit, with some figures suffering from noticably too-short legs, and some weapons being a bit small. Almost all of the troops are suitably relaxed looking. One in particular, a machine gunner, is particularly effective, with the gunner resting with his weight on his grounded gun. Verdict? These figures, relatively early releases from Outland Games, will fit in well with other figures on the market and show potential for their 15mm WW II line; keep an eye on them. Available from your local gameshop for $2.99 per 3-pack, or, failing that, from Outland Games, at PO Box 457, 18-20 West Main Street, Phillipsburg, OH 45354.

OUTLAND GAMES CORRECTION

In #78 our review of Outland Games' 15mm Panzer Grenadiers quoted the prices incorrectly. The correct price is a package of 22 figures in mixed poses for $5.50 - not the 3 for $2.99 we quoted! Sorry 'bout that. Outland Games can be reached at POBox 457, 18-20 West Main St. Phillipsburg, OH 45354 - Dick Bryant
