Recently received my latest warlord games order, got a few things in this one all for the 1939 Polish Campaign. One of the vehicles, the Sdkfz 222, is the subject of this post. Thought I would do a quick review and comparison to the Company B Sdkfz 221.
The Sdkfz 222 is a very nice model, crisp detail and very sturdy. I comes with the gun assembly, turret and the wheels all cast in metal. The vehicle hull is cast in a single piece of heavy resin that will hold up great on the table.
You cant see it in the photo but the wheels connect to the hull with a nice slotted base on the back of the assembly. This makes for a very rugged suspension that will hold up for years of rought handling. The only complaint I have is that the wheels seem a bit on the smallish side, maybe its just me. This size difference is really noticeable when compared to the Company B model in the next picture. Not sure what to do about that, but my brother can worry about it as this is his model.
Here is a quick shot of both vehicle hulls and the wheels of each model. Also note that the turret of the Company B model comes cast onto the vehicle whereas the Warlord model has a turret that is separate. I think the detail is much cleaner and sharp in the Company B (also more detail) model but the Warlord model is a much more rugged model.
