You will enjoy painting these models. I really do enjoy pairing historicals now. It's a different color pallet from fantasy and Sci fi models. Had to buy all new paint colors for this and Dust Warfare.

If you play this game expecting every player to adhere to a historically accurate force organization you will either frustrate yourself or limit your pool of viable opponents you are willing to play.
What I didn't like about flames of War was the strict organization of platoons where you base your army off a known list from 1 or 2 particular battles then go fight that platoon in battles where the force org was different or the unit never fought in the first place.
That's why I look at this as a game and not a means of reinacting. To each their own.
