I really do wish it was all truly the same scale. It’s especially annoying for me when they’re inconsistent with armaments; two vehicles will have the same gun but it’s visibly much larger on one model because it was designed to emphasize the gunner, at infantry scale. And like you noted, I prefer to assemble all of my tanks with hatches closed…[Read more]

Regardless of historical accuracy, this is very clearly an intentional decision, as the rulebook entry for the 251/9 is exactly the same as the 250/8 on the preceding page, save for the addition of transport capacity. As for the model itself, the only reason we couldn’t fit 8 men inside would be the discrepancy between infantry and vehicle scale…[Read more]
