Soviet Infantry in Afghanistan Conflict

Afghanistan has been in a level or perpetual state conflict for a couple decades now. Half track has created a very interesting set of Russians to represent this long period of history.

1)Accuracy : 5 - It shouldn't be too hard to put together a set of soldiers based on this conflict. There are tons of images, and videos of it. Therefore the large variety of poses have a wide degree of variability which had to be researched.

2)Design : 4 - Only downside? No Backsides! If there had been any backsides this would be pretty much a perfect set. Otherwise the amount of detail is very well put together!

3)Standard : 5 - They stay within the standard put forth by other figures in this section. The snipers and gunners seem to work very well with other figures.

4)Uniqueness : 5 - This pose uses almost everything available to produce something comprehensive. There are differnt uniforms arm positions, standing, laying down, wounded, or brand new gunner positions. Its a great set that allows for a high amount of variability.

5)Usability : 5 - Very easy to get ready to play, the soldiers are based and ready to go. Just randomly select a bunch of them and put them onto a page!

Total : 4.8 out of 5 Stars. - Add backsides and this is a perfect set ready for any table experience.

T-72's

Vehicles are a secondary aspect of Juniorgeneral. While we have them on the site they are in lue of the miniatures. Having no exact scale making them can sometimes be a laborious chore of figuring out where something matches based on photos alone. Thankfully we have people with in the site who are ready and willing to take the time and design these. Half-Track has done a great job in designing this series of figures.

1)Accuracy : 5 - This figure is well designed and clearly a good attention to detail. Half-track has looked at what is, and isn't on his sets and given other items in order to add on to them. On this set for example there are more panels which you could possibly add on. Further he has gone to some length to insure that you have the slight variation on hand for seperate nations.

2)Design : 5 - Little details add up. You can see the dent marks on the panels, the detail on the wheels, and other areas. This gives it a finished and well designed feel to it.

3)Standard : 5 - As the center of attention this figure *sets* the standard for this period. The T-72 will be the center of attention on your battlefield, its bigger and just stands out! Therefore things should conform to this, and most things do.

4)Uniqueness : 5 - For the most part we do not have a lot of tanks of this type. Therefore any new ones will be unique.

5)Usability : 5 - Set this page up and get ready to print! It is very easy to print and base being big enough.

Perfect 5 out of 5! - A very nice and easy to use set.
