About this product   Depicting the rivalry between a few of the greatest branches of the US military, this theme chess set displays in great fashion the rich traditions of the American armed forces! The chess set even sports actual uniforms and seals of the current military forces! Originating less than 350 years ago, the American forces have quickly climbed their way to the top of the elite military around the globe. As a tribute to the men and women in the different branches of the military, and the militaries worldwide, this theme chess set brings to your living room in stunning fashion the US military! The Marine chess set pieces, with their carriage and uniforms are sight for sore eyes! The front ranks of the chess set are composed of sturdy soldiers holding their favorite weapon to their side and at attention. Seeing such opposition is a sight not to be envied! The backbone of US landing forces, the Marines bring to this chess set their hardiness and discipline from vast experience and battles. The front ranks of soldiers wear the camoflage green fatigues proudly, and present a varied picture with the official military dress of the officers behind them. The 'knights' of the army, in the form of the tank, or landing craft, are already climbing a terribly steep slope, in action before the battle begins! The bishops flank the 'king' and 'queen', and all together make a fine display of the pride and form of the US Marines; the rooks bear the insignia of the Marines: the seal of the amphibious branch of the US military. The Air Force chessmen of this themed chess set, with royal and light blue uniforms and the 'air' of men from the air, do the Air Force justice in their representation! The 'pawns' as airmen in dress uniform, stand stiff and straight as arrows, and with some smart flying, and maybe a few missiles or so, the Air Force should be able to paratroop some men in and evacuate with the captured king from the other chess set of pieces! Wearing the dress light and dark blues, the airmen appear well fitted and ready for any challenge, whether it is the fixing of an aircraft, or the winning of a theme chess set game... in addition, the pawns of the chess set all have a disciplined refreshing look about them! From the tip of the cap, to the end of the shoes, not a thread is out of place for the inspection of their commanding officer! Sneaking a peak at the rooks shows that they carry the seal of the Air Force. Next to the rooks, and the 'Mayday' weapon for the opponent, is the ICBM! The InterContinental Ballistic Missile, the weapon designed to be able to carry nuclear warloads thousands of miles in a matter of minutes, makes it's fearsome appearance; if it was a matter of weapons only, the Air Force has everyone beat hands down in this chess set! The bishops represent the real airmen, in their 'space suits', ready for flying any aircraft, to any speed, to defeat all opposition in defense of the freedom of the Great Republic. And lastly, the commanding officer, looking very much like he fits his station, with the lady naval officer at his side, prepares to guide his men through all obstacles for the objective: can he successfully capture the king? Test your skills with this great theme chess set! Take the side of the Marines or Air Force, and see if you can end the rivalry and prove once and for all who is actually better! Every game will be fun and refreshing with crisp pieces and the great colors of this chess set! Specifications: Pieces: Non-weighted, plastic resin, and handpainted.
