I wouldn't even put the paintjobs on a par with the D&D minis myself. The sculpting of the figures is good though, as were the tanks I've seen so far. The guns, however, were below par. Oh, and the german A-T gun is NOT a Pak 38 (50mm) as advertised, the mini is a Pak 35 (37mm).

And as for the mix of minis... well, the game assumes you can, and have to, mix US, USSR, British & French on one side, and German, Italian and Japanese on the other to make up a force, and with only 40 minis total in the initial release (sure, more will appear rapidly), that's a helluva limited selection! It would have made far more sense to limit the initial release to one historical front, probably Western Europe.
