Estonian Soldiers in Desert Camo

Estonia for most people is a small nation that makes it easier to remember lavivia and Lithuania by. Nudged in with these nations is the small land of Estonia--and they have a military by the way! Xaxk gives us a grand example of the infantry of the nation.

1)Accuracy : 5 - Based off what i've seen of soldiers of Estonian decent these seem to be very accurate. The weapons are what you would expect, and the equipment looks right. The one down side seems to be the tall grass on the bases. Even in the middle of mesopotania the grass would most likely not be this high.

2)Design : 5 - Very well designed. Each variation of troop is changed and each item is replicated so that you can reuse that piece later on.

3)Standard : 5 - Will fit into pretty much any Iraqi/Modern game with any of the other ones on the site.

4)Uniqueness : 5 - This is the only set of these soldiers on the site and thus very accurate, and well created.

5)Usability : 4 - I mark down by one for one reason only : It is extremely hard to tell soldiers apart. The only disgintishing feature would be sunglasses. So if you were to play this outside a squad based game you'd still have to print the names on the bottom.

Total : 4.8 out of 5 Stars - Great set that could use some distingishing features.

WWII German Army Western Front France

Finding a world war two set is akin to finding a fish in water. They are in common supply between here and tomorrow. With Micheal Smiths new set a new piece of the puzzle is added and integrated--better than most.

1)Accuracy : 5 - The units have the correct weapons and are wearing uniforms that would make hitler himself proud. Is this good? Kind of because they are not dirty: it looks like day one of D-Day.

2)Design : 5 - The set is very well designed and you can tell each piece of it was well thought out. one of the great items in the set is the inclusion of a complete new figure which is very useful.

3)Standard : 5 - Usally I would say that sets like this would *not* fit into the curve. But it does... in fact it is extremely high to fit in to old and new sets.

4)Uniqueness : 4 - The only downside is that everything looks a little the same and there could be a little more variety between the pieces.

5)Usability : 5 - Print and Play.

Total : 4.8 out of 5 Stars - Great set
