I apologize for the delay of this review. . . trying to stay focused on the stuff on the bench (i.e., non-historical) . . .
I am very, very impressed! Packaging, casting, painting guide . . . this is a complete package!! Comprised of 42 pieces + 6 (base[2] + 4 terrain options), the quality of the casting--and engineer- ing!--is superb. Having said that, the prospective end-user must keep in mind that this is an injection-molded kit, and this means that the inherent limitations of the production process preclude many of the things that today's miniaturists appear to clamor for--and "insufferably" take for granted! Whatever. . .
My initial reservations proved to be largely unfounded! Yes, it could use some tweaking--what miniature can't? But all in all, it is an excellent treatment of a long neglected subject.
This is an amazing piece that amply warrants the additional effort that will make it a show- stopper. Do your research and have fun!
