Our verdict
No full written review of this starter set has been published so far. Two unboxing posts, Brueckenkopf-Online (BK-Markus, 6 Aug 2025) and Boston Steel Works (25 Sep 2026), confirm the contents match the listing, 12 US Airborne, 12 German Grenadiers, the two 1/56 half-tracks, a pocket-format rulebook, scenario booklet and paper mat, but neither assesses fit, sculpt quality or gameplay.
