Clive Fights Ungern

Clive Vs Ungern

So here we have two amazing sets. Further today we set our first Compare and Contrast article. What is it? Well one side is fighting the other of course! In a way. We are looking at the core functions. What is good about both? Bad about one? And in the end which one is the best between the two?

Yet first let me give you the scores... Most likely a 5 stars for both of them. They are horribly functional. So much so that you'd have so many combination that it would be absolutely ridiculous! While the WW1 infantry could use more action poses it makes up in pure functionality. While Clives set has 25 figures. I assume that if you are going to base a German field gun you are going to put at least 3 figures on the base. Whats this mean? 15,625 combination's for action poses on a base!! This is both insane and amazing and should be applauided.

So what can Clive learn from Ungern?
-Organization of your sheet. The sheet that Clive puts forth has a little bit of a cluttered effect to it. We do not know who is doing what on the gun and thus we may pick two commanders or two loaders. Having some knowledge of rank would help. Clive started this but did not finish it on the whole set.

What can Ungern learn from Clive?
-War is not ideal. This is a major problem for designers. We look at an item as what they would of looked like if they just stepped out of the quartermasters tent. Yet this just isn't true. If we look at any situation when we leave there are things forgotten; adopted; and changed. Clives set is amazing in this because it shows soldiers in all forms of dress. With uniforms that range all over the place.

What can they both learn?
-They know what they're doing. Honestly both sides know what they are doing, and in this case I do not know if there is much more beyond what I already mentioned.

The Run Down
Clive takes Function - because of its ability to be used 15,000 times.
Tie on Accuracy - Both of these sets have so many little details that you have to really look at them closely.
Clive takes Uniqness - This set is going to be the basis for most artillery in the future. Its to varied and large.
Ungern takes Neatness - His figures are nice and ordered and rather pristine. It is a set I consider the, 'basis' for future work. Its something that anyone can quickly refer to if they want to advance another set of figures in the future. Clives set is a little messy in that respect but I think that a 'basis' for these have been made.

Overall : Clive wins this fight.
