Seeing as I had purchased a box of Perry's 28mm WWII Infantry (arrgh, I am seemingly fully committed to WWII multi-scale madness now) the June 2019 Wargames Illustrated giveaway sprue from Warlord Games was not so much a no-brainer but rather a compulsory purchase (see below, I made my six infantry men up as 3 x M1 Garand Riflemen and 1 x M1 Carbine [as you can never have too many of these], a BAR gunner and a sniper/marksman with a Springfield rifle - I just to say resisted the trench-shotgun):
I have so far resisted getting the July edition as I cannot see a need for the Crimean Russian Infantry sprue in my current collection (though let me sleep on that). Given the quality of the Warlord Games figures I think I am destined to purchase a full box of these and the D-Day Rangers for all the extra bits to make the interesting engineer troopers.
I have just picked up the new Wargames Illustrated and was pleased to see that the plastic sprue is simply heads to be glued onto bodies, I really appreciate the minimum gluing / figure prep time needed for such figures.

ReplyDeleteI know I can see the 28mm 1/56 Sherman M4A3 Sherman tank making its way up the drive and a packet of 28mm GI American Infantry that wee in my sweaty palms last Wednesday ... I might go as far as getting a jeep ... and a M3 Half Track .. look at a M3 or M5 Stuart but absolutely not .. the M26 Pershing. I will need a 57mm American Anti Tank gun though!
