The following pages reveal a range of figures that can help build a battle or play situation varying in time from the distant past to the present day, and from places as far apart as the Sahara desert to the deserts on the Moon's surface. Every piece is finely detailed, ready for play and can easily be painted with Airfix enamels for added realism in battle scenes and dioramas. - Taken from the 15th edition catalogue (1978)
