The game comes with a total of 252 figures, including: 35 Footmen (four different races), 12 Archers, 12 Cavalry, and 4 Siege Engines of various types (varies by race, but it appears each race has only one type of Siege Engine -- see photo's below). That works out to be $0.16 per figure... They even include a manual battering ram: three men holding a massive rod to batter doors down with, in the blue army. The four siege engines are: green Ballista; blue Battering Ram; orange Catapult; and, purple Trebuchet. Here is the downside: they are 22mm tall, from base to top of head. This means they are slightly smaller than 1/72 scale figures. The upside, is that depending upon your take on Elves, they could be perfectly sized for this race. According to 1e generally accepted scale, back the 1980's, Humans averaged 6 feet tall, and their figures were 25mm tall. Elves, on the other hand, were shorter, averaging 4-5 feet tall. So a humanoid figure standing 22mm tall, would be just about right for an Elf, next to a 25mm tall Human. On the other hand, if you went with these figures as your standard Human, you would have 236 of them, for only $0.16 per figure! And, of course, you would have 16 Siege Engines, to boot, all for the same price... This may/may not be a good deal, but I thought I'd share it anyway, in case someone finds it useful. The figures are incredibly low priced -- this is the lowest per-figure price I think I've even seen, since I started collecting mini's, back around 1981! This game is sold at most toy departments of retail box stores like Target, Shopko, Wal-Mart, etc., in the USA; don't know about Europe, sorry. Cheers!

It is a good deal on miniatures. I like the look of the siege engines. Definitely a great deal for anyone wargaming or using 1:72 scale.
