Has anyone seen the actual content of the set of 02 hundred ? The web description says it contains
- 30 Multi-part 28mm plastic figures:
12 British SAS
8 German sentries, officers and Feldgendarmes
6 guard dogs
- 64 page Rulebook
- 80 Gaming Cards
- 8 Custom Dice
- 104 Counters
Now, I have never been any good at math, but 12 SAS + 8 German sentries in my part of the world makes 20, not 30 multi-part figures.. And even if you count the dogs as figures - which would be very politically correct but frankly very annoying -you end up with 26 figures, not 30. Does anyone have any clue?

If its that set:
36 Multi-part 28mm plastic figures:
12 British SAS
18 German sentries, officers and Feldgendarmes
6 guard dogs
64 page Rulebook
80 Gaming Cards
8 Custom Dice
104 Counters
36 Plastic Bases
18 german sentries/officers/feldgendarmes?
Listed there - so that with the dogs gets you to the 36?
The images disappoint regards the dogs, as they only show a couple with guards, as you say politically correct but rather disappointing..
-
I had same though….read “dogs with handlers” and 18.
-
Thanks folks, obviously what I saw was plain wrong (I got it from their newsletter) and the obvious number for the German sentries is 18 and not 8. This still leaves us with the 6 dogs counting as multi-part figures...
-
As I understand it, the dogs are on the bases with the handlers, so they're probably simply lumping them in with the handler as a "single figure".

You can see the frames here

Thanks Digits for the video it clearly shows the sentry sprue with 2 dogs on it, and six "sentry" bodies, guess 3 per box, 18 german troops and 6 dogs.
they all have separate integral bases, and they are multipart (two halfs plus head)
so 36 Multi-part 28mm plastic figures, Man and dog.

Look quite interesting

Indeed.. I am trying to find a good excuse to resist...
-
Anyone have any idea if Wargames Atlantic will be releasing the models separately? I’m thinking WA SAS & Rubicon Jeeps for operation bulbasket…..
-
This from their FB page:
"Once the game is released and out in the world for a bit we will have two regular sets of these for our World Ablaze range."
-
CapnJim, thanks, missed that
-
Luckily, I have quite a few water bottles / bags etc in my bits box as I prefer mine to look a little more kitted out.
Not sure if that’s a Wargames Atlantic thing, but their panzer Lehr are a little lacking in that regard too.
-
I noted that too. I reckon it's a matter of there're only X spots on a sprue, and WA likes to provide lots of head and weapon/arm options. So, more heads/weapons/arms, less personal kit. That's my guess anyway...
Luckily, I too have spare stuff laying around....
-
I like the separate gorget pieces though….I have a few feldpolice that I can bolster now.
I have the bundle on order anyway so hopefully will get my mits on them soon enough.
-
Still on the fence about the bundle. Got the rules pdf, and def want the figs. But I can make character cards and markers. That only leaves the dice.
We'll see. If I know me though, I may still end up getting the whole shebang... :D
-
LMAO Paypal wants me to pay a money conversion fee even though the price is $0.00. Can someone share the .pdf? I'd like to see the German sprue too.
-
Not to put evil thoughts in anyone's heads...but when I first saw the German sprue I immediately thought of Indiana Jones... (the theme subtly begins playing in the background)

Have you noticed the figure at the top of the German expansion set?

Actually, this set could do with an Amazon God Killer as opposition...
I hope the figures scale well with Crooked Dice, there is a Agent/Investigator perfect for leading raids on laboratories.
