I agree, Frimmel, I’m not a big fan of the randomly packed sets. Why does a “D-Day” set have Japanese units, for example? For that matter, why have Japanese units at all? It’s not as though there was that much variety in the Pacific, unit-wise. Just wave upon wave of grunt soldiers yelling “Banzai” and being shredded by the Marines (yes, I’ve been watching “The War” this week, which is another topic, I suppose). And it was mostly a Naval war in the Pacific anyway – no tank battles anywhere (at least, none that I’m aware of). The Eastern Front, though – that’s another story altogether. I just wish I had more Russian units and – here’s the catch – someone to play them with!

I think its because the Japanese were there sightseeing, you know, the Louvre and Eiffel Tower make for memorable photos :lol:.
What really got me about that set is that the Higgins Boat is a rare. How can you be expected to have D-Day landing when you can’t get a Higgins Boat? It is a cool piece but it is D-Day for goodness sake no Higgins Boats no D-Day.
What is the name for the North African set going to be? Is the Desert Fox, Rommel, going to be in this one? Or is he somewhere else. I guess he’s all I know about the North African campaign, except it was primarily English and German units, right?

Umm, there was this American general known as Patton involved – maybe you’ve heard of him? :wink:
lol
hmmm. . . he does ring a bell.
I feel like an idiot. Let my newbie-ness show. :-D
With the newly modified units coming out in the starter pack, what is happening to all of the booster packs that are out? For example if I want the Contested Skies booster pack, is there a certain one I need to look for so that the pieces look the same as the “new” starter pack?
Ahhh, that’s good news. :-)
I don’t think I’ll be getting any more sets. I just cant see going out buying basic units (like the Sherman) all over again just so I can get the new-and-improved sized version. And I don’t really want to have a mix. I’m too anal to have a giant Sheman and a baby Sherman in play at the same time.

The new set has a lot of new stats for the old pieces and it looks like almost all of the vehicles have been repainted.

David, don’t hold out on us – how do you know this? Can you post any pictures? Anything :?
My booster case was delayed for various reasons. I was thinking of writing an article that outlines all of the differences.
