I've been trying to find this on the web or by searching the forums. Does anybody know exactly which mini's are in the original core set? Are all the mini's in there purchasable through expansion packs, or are there minis in there that are only available by purchasing one of the diminishing stock of original cores?

Axis:

Recon Grenadiers

Battle Grenadiers

Laser Grenadiers

Luther

Ludwig

Sigrid

Allied:

The Gunners

Recon Boys

BBQ Squad

Hot Dog

Pounder

Bazooka Joe

You can get them all individually except Sigrid and Bazooka Joe. It is MUCH cheaper getting these figures in a core set, rather than buying them individually. You also get boards, dice, cover items, etc. with the Core set.
