River I got that same set one Christmas when I was around 9. The Germans had an authentic 88 and pillboxes to add to your inventory of stuff it came with. The americans also had 2 landing craft. Wow that was one of the best Xmas gifts ever. Countless hours playing with it.

My favorite soldiers of all time tho were the "historama" kits put out by Airfix.

They had a battlefield of some sort, a vehicle and a set of 40-50 Ho scale troops.

First one I bought was "Pearl harbor" it can with a Val divebomber and had a wrecked P-40 in its diorama base. The soldiers were WWI americans.

The second was "Battle of the Bulge" and came with a Halftrack and US paratroopers.

The third was "Guadacanal" and came with a Grant tank and Japanese infantry.

I could never afford the big kits on my allowance they were over 40 bucks. There was one I always dreamed about buying the was called "Omaha Beach" that had many vehicles and troops and a huge battlefield. I would pay very well If I could ever find any of those kits now.
