Barnes on Games- Warfighter in Review, Silent Victory, Freedom

Hunters is pretty good if you dig that B-17 experience. It can get repetitive long term since it's pretty much just random chart rolling, but it's colorful and kicks off your imagination.

Are the base game and footlocker redundant? Does the footlocker have everything (and more) than the base game?

No, there's no redundancy (well, very little).

The footlocker includes a huge box, the best card dividers I've seen, new night fighting cards that are pretty neat, erratta'd cards for first edition owners (new weapon types), the new version of the manual for first edition owners, and a campaign book that is pretty damn good.

The campaign book, storage system, and night fighting cards make it a great purchase. If you plan on adding in the second wave of expansions, the reprinted cards for first edition owners are nice. Some of the new pieces of equipment and attachments trigger off keywords that weren't originally in the game so you'd have to make some guesses or look some things up.
