My favorite was the battle of Navarone mountain.

Pretty cool, but I would expect if it was being marketed as an Iwo Jima re-enactment play set, they would include the troop of soldiers and the flag they planted. C’mon!

Question: What are those little green “cluster” looking things? The ones that look like 4 oval-shaped cells combining nuclei or whatever. Fallen coconuts from the trees? Anti-personnel mines?

Small soft plastic ones available in the UK from the 1970’s.I have never come across them on ebay or anywhere else.
