Artillery in A&A was always criminally underrepresented, but thanks to HBG, you can now avail of bespoke big guns for every nation. Five armies are given the US 105mm, which is too many. I�m also not a fan of the �unintimidating� models for the 105mm & the Japanese Type-95, or the spindly �88, (I replaced them too). The Cannone 75/32 serves far better, has more detail & is easier to spot on a crowded board. It has a slightly smaller footprint than the 105mm & has a longer barrel, (26x11mm � 1x0.43in). As with the rest of this Italian OOB, it�s a lighter brown, nearer to the Inf. colour. This helps, as the regular Italian units are a bit too close to the Russian shade, (Eur �40 1sted).

Wizards of the Coast switches to a second edition with new sculpts and rules and doesn't offer an upgrade kit to those of us that were in on the ground floor. Thank you HBG' for offering these individual parts.

Nice detail for any country
