Hmm... I'm not sure about the T-62 KMT-5 pack. Surely it would have been better to just release a separate TMT-5 pack and allow us to stick them to whatever tanks we wanted?
The M1937 ML-20 will have a home in my Arabs, even though most of my arty is off table these days
Other than that, quite a light release lot for me. Although I suspect the KTO Rosomak will be floated in nearly every Imagi-Nation force I contemplate over the next year
Am I missing something or is the new BTS-5 the same vehicle as the BREM-1? The pictures sure look a lot alike...
Interesting comment. You are right, they do look like the same vehicle. The BREM-1 seems to be the Soviet/Russian designation while the BTS-5 is the Ukrainian designation for the Ukrainian version.
I just took a serious look at GWT7, DD Rosolino Pisa class. It looks pretty much as it should, with two issues. The foremast is way too thick. I would cut this out and replace it with a thin piece of wire or perhaps a pin. The third funnel looks too thin. It should be thinner than the second funnel but not as thin as it looks in the photo. This may be just an effect of the photo. When I get the actual model I'll consider replacing it with something thicker, such as a piece of insulation from 220V wiring.

I get that to be sure. A pack of four or five mine rollers would allow you to give each company in a battalion a mine roller tank with one purchase as well.

The new releases are great although there is really nothing for me in this round. I did recently get some Churchill IVs, M4 Shermans, and the British WWII Heavy Weapons pack #2 plus the WWII Russian 152mm guns. This should do me for a while until the next releases come down the line.
From the photos FRN15, DD Bourrasque looks just about right. Note that this model should also work for the subsequent L'Adroit class of 14 ships. The L'Adroit ships were about 1% larger (insignificant) and had essentially identical appearance. I intend to order nine packs.
Thanks Don. I've been looking forward to your assessment of the new French destroyer. I'm glad this model can be used for additional destroyer class. Yikes! Nine packs!
