What scale are the model tanks?
The tank models are in 1/56th scale, which is a common scale for 28mm miniature wargaming.
What is included in the box?
The set contains five hard plastic tank kits (3x Sherman, 1x Hellcat, 1x Stuart), assembly guides, decals, damage markers, game cards for assets and tank aces, a game tracker, datacards for 16 vehicles, game tokens, tank stowage accessories, and resin tank crew figures.
Are the models pre-assembled or pre-painted?
No, the models are supplied unpainted and unassembled. They require assembly using plastic cement and can then be painted according to the user's preference.
What game is this set for?
This force is designed for use with the Achtung Panzer! tabletop wargame ruleset. All necessary datacards and game components specific to that system are included.
Are the decals easy to apply?
The set includes waterslide decals, which are a standard type for model kits. They require careful application with water and a setting solution for best results, but are generally user-friendly with practice.
What glue is recommended for assembly?
A specialised plastic cement or polystyrene cement is recommended for assembling the hard plastic kits. Superglue can also be used, especially for attaching the resin crew figures.
Can I use these models with other wargame rules?
Yes, while optimised for Achtung Panzer!, the 1/56th scale models are compatible with many other popular World War II wargaming rules that use a similar scale, such as Bolt Action.
