The Minutemen are great at ranged combat (range 6) and if you can get them up high and keep them from moving they'll have an attack of 4 (base 2, 1 for height, 1 if they don't move). With 4 figures per unit, that's a lot of dice (mine took down Krug in two turns). They get a bonus if they can mix only with other valiant pieces and it's definitely worth looking up the units to get the bonus.The wolves are also scary - only 3 figures per unit, and they start with att 1, def 4 but each turn they roll a d20 to get bonus attack dice, all the way up to +8. You definitely want to bring Khosumet (also in this wave) along so the wolves don't eat themselves, but rolling as many as 9 attack dice with 3 figures, is an awesome power for only 75 points.This expansion is a good buy if you like ranged combat (4th Massachussets) or hate it (Anubian Wolves). Overall, I don't think it's quite as powerful as the Knights/Swog Rider, but the next wave (The Large Expansion packs) includes some figures that will help the wolves, so I guess we'll see.

Got this at Target, and this is a great expansion set that goes well if you get it immediately after the master set. The 4th Massachussetts line is 70 points, and the anubian wolves are 75. The 4th Massachussetts line has decent stats, 5 move, 6 range, 2 attack,2 defense. They can be a real threat when up high. The Anubian wolves have 6 move, 1 range, 3 attack, and 4 defense. They have a special power, unleashed fury, that is really powerful and uses the d20. Once mine destroyed Grimnak in 1 turn. Overall, they are a great set, and getting multiples will really add to your army.
