Just got my hands on the 02 Hundred Hours Stater Set from Michigan Toy Soldier. This is a great product, a complete game in a box. Top quality minis, first rate presentation of the physical components of the game and a really fun rule-set that keeps you on the edge of your seat through the whole game. A complete review of the game components with a photo review of both of the sprues that come with the set can be found here: https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2022/11/02-hundred-hours-starter-set-skirmish.html#more (https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2022/11/02-hundred-hours-starter-set-skirmish.html#more)

Thanks for the review, we need more like this. The Germans poses are too static for me. Obviously they were sculpted with a specific purpose in mind. The British look good. How do they compare in scale to Bolt action plastics? Would they mix well with the inter allied commandos?

I don't have any Warlord WW2 figures, but a friend of mine does, I should see him on 7DEC, I will try to get some pictures for you

I got a batch of the lads assembled today. I will try to get some side-by-side shots of them with my buddies Bolt Action minis tomorrow
-
They look great, I wonder if you can mix and match parts with the bolt action commandos.
-
I'm not sure about mixing parts, that depends heavily on how the minis are sectioned. They seem to be pretty good size-wise with the new Bolt Action plastic minis.

Size wise they seem like a very close fit with Bolt action plastics. Nice to see miniatures with silencers. Those would be a welcome addition.

I got the German force assembled and primed take a look here https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2022/12/and-then-germans-showed-up.html (https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2022/12/and-then-germans-showed-up.html)

The Germans look great and they are the figures I would rather buy but those poses are not nearly enough action oriented for me. I hope they do another series with all new poses.

The poses all look suitably "guardy" to me but maybe they need another set of alert figures? ;)
Plus they need more of them, there's only about 2 mins of film time Germans there for Clint Eastwood to kill lol
-
Here is what the guards look like with a bit of paint on them. More talented painters certainly could do a better job than I.

Like your renditions of those Germans. Looking forward to WA's release of their stand-alone sets of the SAS guys and those Germans. I may even look to kitbash some of the SAS chaps, and bring them into a more modern era....

I managed to get all of the mins painted this weekend, just need to decide on the basing. The SAS were a bit of a bother with the camo smocks.
