@toblerone77 A bit late to the party here but anyway…!
The sculpts are made in a lighter plastic than later versions and the Japanese infantry sculpts, for example, really show this. Lots of them have half their helmets missing and their rifle stocks are too thin and are thus often bowed or malformed. Another example is Italian tanks which have smaller and far inferior sculpts to the europe 1940 version.
This is my favourite Axis and Allies version regardless and I have swapped out all the pieces with better sculpts from other version. Its probably cost me a fortune in potential re sales but I don’t care.
I have chosen 2 good tanks from each of the countries in A&A anniversary!

i also read elsewhere that a canadian group claims to have fought against/seen a maus. but no proof about it. that’s why i said ‘apparently saw combat’ :wink:
the russians technically captured both protypes. they pieced a complete maus together using the hull from one, and the turret from the other

@TG:
Are you kidding me? EVERYONE knows that 1 Maus is worth at least 1000 Tigers. Easily. :roll:
Perhpas, but like the tiger, it only needed 1 small US/UK/USSR airplane, wich they had with thousands, to take out a Maus, so i prefer 1000 tigers :-D

no way was a maus worth that many tigers! it may have had an awesome gun and armour, but it was one heavy beast. and slow too! it was so heavy that it couldn’t travel over conventional bridges!
