Reply To: Help Identifying Infantry

At the end of the day it’s WW2 British infantry on the table, but if you research into the units you end up reading the “fluff”/background and soon they become much more than that. Reading about this just make you realise how amazing these chaps were and the trails they went through, so going the little extra to research about a unit just edifies you to the whole period (and it stops being just a mass of tank p0rn stat lines that most wargamers go as far as knowledge into the period goes).

That’s why the humble infantry figures soon become your favourite units, and you become more invested into your force (and hopefully inspired to do more painting and collecting of this “basic” building block of a WW2 army instead of collecting 5 TigerIIs and a load of 88s and then the “minimum” infantry because the rules “make you”).
