How many SAS in a squad?

[AlphaStrike]

The new picture shows 10...the description says 8.

Anyone know how many it will actually be?

 

[captainsmirk]

I believe 8, two of the figures in the pack are armed with sniper rifles and can be used as alternatives to the MG gunners I think.

In fact it says this at the bottom of the description

This box set contains a complete eight man SAS section, complete with two extra M109 sniper rifle-equipped soldiers to fulfil all possible unit options.

[Lorcan Nagle]

As Captainsmirk says: 1 corporal, one lance, 4 riflemen, 2 gunners with the option of a minimi para or a Barrett.

To me that sounds like 10. Squad of 8 with 2 extra SOLDIERS(not swappable weapons or anything like that)...

You get 10 models in the box. The section is 8 models in a game. The 2 extra models allow you to use the configuration you want between Barretts and Minimis.

if this is so, all i can say is well done MGP great idea in my mind.

I recon you could read it to say anything you wanted to... but if you read the card that Hiromoon has produced it says on there that either or both gunners can be replaced with snipers.

agreed. The full range of options in a single box is excellent.

Just as long as it is not slapped with a $35.00 price tag, hehe. Ahh, what the heck, it's a good idea even then, but not as good...

If they charge you yanks $35 for it then who knows what they would charge us poor Brits for it I can't see it breaking the £20 / $30 mark as the MEA get 10 for that price, and we did get a little stumped for the Infantry as we paid that for 8 figures whilst everyone else got 9 or 10.

 

[Lorcan Nagle]

the SAS box is $30, IIRC.

 

[emperorpenguin]

would have been nice if they'd added in 2 extra guys with LSWs for the regular British squad :wink:

 

[Shadow4ce]

It's the poor USMC Force Recon boys who are getting gorked here. 6 models!!! Hope it's only $20.00 US, but probably going to be $25-30. If $30.00 they'd better be outright superman type killers! :wink:

 

[Hiromoon]

They come with three color coded clips, Shadow.

Red - Armor Piercing
Blue - Depleted Uranium
Green - Kryptonite, just in case Superman goes Rouge again.

So my two boxes of MEA were missing 2 figures each? I only got 8 figures in them and was wondering why the PLA boxes had 10.

there are only 8 in the MEA, Cordas is wrong

Yes but if there's no extra models how you do that in PRACTISE?-)

I doubt they have managed to invent swappable weapons for the pre-painted models.

I'd love it if the MEA box had 10 men, especially if there was a second RPG in there (Guess who bought is 6th box of MEA infantry last night)

At least you can find them.
