Review
This pack contains 36 figures, 6 recessed bases and a unit
card. The red-eye firing teams are the only new figs in this pack, the rest are a repeat from the Panzergrenadier pack. The figures are magnificent sculpts in the typical BF heroic style. For example the launchers themselves are are a little more chunky than they were in real life (see pictures) however I expect they would be too flimsy if cast to scale. Í am really enjoying the new TY West Germans. The models without exception have been lovely and relatively easy to assemble.

Some of the figures had some moulding issues with the 2 halves not quite
aligning. This is mainly an issue on the helmet. However given the texture on
the helmet, this is not such a problem. Don't underestimate the amount of work in this pack, each of the 6 teams have six figures. That is more painting than a normal infantry platoon.
