Hi,
I'm looking into buying a bunch of the newer GHQ WW2 infantry packs, & since the website doesn't give exact numbers in a pack, I would like to find out how many & what weapons types are in the following packs:

G507 German Afrika Korps Infantry
G508 German Afrika Korps Heavy Weapons
IT16 Italian Infantry
IT17 Italian Heavy Weapons
UK70 British Desert Infantry
UK71 British Desert Heavy Weapons
UK73 British Sikh Infantry
UK74 British Sikh Heavy Weapons
UK75 British Digger Infantry
UK76 British Digger Heavy Weapons

Based on the pictures, it looks like the British Desert, Sikh & Digger packs all have the all have the figures, so I'm guessing they'll all be the same.

Thanks

The packs include rifleman, submachine gunners, light and heavy machine guns, light and medium mortars, command figures. The British heavy weapons packs have anti-rifles. All the packs mentioned are very good and well worth the money.

The same could be said for ALL of the individual infantry packs. See related discussion on the wishlist thread.

Along similar lines, is the Italian WWII rifle platoon pack worth getting? I got the basic italian infantry with a command pack and I was wondering if the rifle platoon was the worth the money to upgrade.

Also, are there any major differences between the Bersagleri infantry and the other infantry packs besides the helmets?
