Re: [Board/Tactical Game]: Memoir '44: Mediterranean Theater, reviewed by ShannonA (4

I thought the review was good, with one minor exception. I can't at all agree with the comment "All of these figures are up to the usual good standards of Memoir '44."

The infantry figures are awful. They don't look at all like British troops. The issue is the helmets. The helmets look more like, oh, maybe modern British helmets? Maybe WW2 French? I don't know. Certainly not the iconic rimmed British helmet.

It's a minor quibble, but I was disappointed enough in them when I opened the pack that my immediate thought was, "I might as well use the green American figures from the main set", which then led to the thought "Why did they bother?"

Here's a link to the Days of Wonder site with a picture of the minis:
