>>11168326Leftmost set is up first and there's quite a bit to talk about. Just opening up the plastic zip-up storage bag I was mightily impressed with how well everything had been packed inside; no chance I could do as good a job.
I don't recall seeing there would be a battle map in the listing photos and boy, this one is a work of art. Unlike typical battle maps that have some non-specific combat zone or a wacky hodgepodge of loosely real/semi-real places, this one goes for near-realism, at least geographically. Real countries with their real flags, real-world borders (with a notable exception), it could almost pass for a CNN-made war report graphic.
Amusingly in this slightly alternate timeline, the US has secured military bases in such friendly nations as Iran and Pakistan, the Zumwalt-class destroyer looks nothing like the real thing (not sure what that ship is, closest I've found is a Russian minesweeper), and all of Palestine has been absorbed by Greater Jordan, with Israel implied to be on the island of Cyprus or simply submerged in the Med.
