Excellent review😀😀😀 Very thorough and detailed analysis with a very good visualization. 👍👍👍The uniform comparison with the real ones was very helpful👏👏👏
A very good video, I do like the soviet infantry although I have a lot already, the American poses look cool and my small American force is to back up my IDF so I liked seeing them in the desert camo.
The plastic kit is what swayed me into 15mm cold war. I was looking for a cold war game but didn't like the detail in the metal. For the US infantry, in the Marine Corps, the M203 gunner is the team leader (NCO), while in the Army, the team leader has just an M16, which may be why we don't see NCO poses, as it would be in place with one service branch but not the other. When I was putting my Marine rifle company together, I was tempted to put a 5th figure on some of the bases just to act as a squad leader but they don't really have a significance in the game so decided not to.
I have the WWIII starter set and have been 3d printing M113s to go with it. I suppose I should buy one of these boxes to fill them with infantry? They look like good value.
If all you want is mechanised infantry then the smaller (and cheaper) American Mech Platoon is the better option as its just SAW teams and Dragon teams; none of the support weapons like M60 and SMAW that you don't need. The Rifle Platoon has all the bits you need to make a mech platoon, but there is a lot of wastage if you don't want to have the capability of fielding at least one parachute rifle or USMC platoon!

Both sets look pretty awesome.
Thanks for the review Lee! Very good to have the painted infantry to actually show what you can do with them
Thanks! That's exactly the reason I painted them, and not an excuse to not do the French Resistance platoon...

Ah! Good to know on the squad leader! Many thanks.
Yeah, it doesn't make any game difference. More of a modelling detail.

@breakthroughassault4791 ah, perfect. That's the $15 box right? I'll pick one of them up.
