My review of some of their figures is here: https://littlewars.org.uk/wargames/commandpack.html

The figures are produced and sold by Badger Games of Mikwaukee.

I also replaced the hands holding the petrol bombs in one section of the Warlord Games…[Read more]

The pictures show him as converted and then painted, the latter has an officer and the sniper as well.

Having said this I do find the Easy Army setup good, and reasonably easy to use.

My naval landing party comprising two full sections, an anti-tank rifle team, a sniper and his number two, and a Lieutenant to lead them.

The figures are cleanly moulded with little flash (especially when taking the age of the moulds into account) and only needed a little attention with a needle file. The poses…[Read more]

Anyway, here is my review of the Naval Section:
