Outstanding! The Guardian ASV is perfect for modern low intensity conflicts. Destroyed middle eastern buildings are also a nice addition.

Combined with the new MRAPs these new products beg the question, WHY were the buildings destroyed? We have GHQ's unarmed civilian figures, but deliberately targeting civilians is not my idea of wargaming.

Since vehicles such as the ASV and MRAPs are not really meant for set-piece combined arms battles (eg Fulda Gap scenarios), where's the opfor militia? (supposedly they're the ones who used to live in the now destroyed middle eastern buildings and whose family members are represented by the middle eastern civilian figure pack).



Thankfully Litko's bases arrived yesterday and I can begin my "re-sculpting project" in earnest. Will post pix in a few days.

note to GHQ: it's great that you're doing all this new product for low intensity middle eastern warfare, but don't forget that wargamers need to field BOTH sides of the conflicts they game. It would be a shame if you spent all this time and money making COIN vehicles and middle eastern buidlings only to abandon the effort before actually making any opfor figures.
