A while ago I would of looked at most small indepdent nations with a sort of contempt. They didn't seem to have much purpose in the page miniatures scene. It wasn't until I started thinking about the options of the conflicts did it occur that it could be indeed an interesting period to simulate! With the outbreak of war in Georgia these types of smaller nations have become more and more important in the world today.1)Accuracy : 3 - Based on basic research it would seem that this nation uses older or discarded uniforms from 1st world nations. These uniforms look a lot like Vietnam era US soldiers. The major difference is the darker skin color based off the skin color set. (And the use of the various weapons.)
2)Design : 4 - Overall its a very nicely designed set. It is drawn in accordance with other sets and uses a nicely standardized weapon. There are enough details with in the set to make it interesting. A major issue I have with this set is that it is hard to really tell the squad leader from a basic soldier at first glance.
3)Standard : 5 - Chapter Master Pavlov has produced a nicely standardized set which could fit in on any modern era battlefield, maybe even some cold war periods.
4)Uniqueness : 3.5 - The set isn't that unique. There are not that many interesting poses or soldiers. There are two varients on the same soldier, making it hard to tell them apart. A hat is the only real variation.
5)Usability : 4 - What this set does have working for it is that it is clearly formated for printing. I can tell exactly how to build a unit of these soldiers and its all ready to be put on a page and printed.
Total : 3.9 out of 5 - Overall a nice set but nothing that is ground shaking or differnt.
