I think as time goes on these figures will be used a lot in conventional wargaming. They're well detailed and in useful poses. In addition you get a MG and Mortar with every sprue. No need to buy additional support units. All you'll need are a few command figures maybe?
I think the grass green base colour will work well with the green side of the playing board.
The grenadier figure is on a square base so stands out amongst his peers. A good feature.
Similarly burdened British Vickers team. I particularly like the gunner himself.
The mortar team could easily be adapted to other mortar types by simply scratch building a new mortar tube and legs.
I'd better get the rest done so I can try out the game. I'm afraid I'm a bit anal about using unpainted figures....it's a big NO NO.
Looking good! Great work on those tiny figures!
