Beyond standing/kneeling/aiming not at all important.

I'd never buy it.

Even your PA troops have caused too many headaches, and they have three
or four pieces. The big issue is when the parts don't match up
perfectly,
and you have to spend ages filing fiddly little joints so that they
actually fit together.

More than a few pieces would be too much of a nightmare.
