The detail is fine for wargame purposes.

HaT Industrie has a number of series of 1/72 plastic historical military figures as well as some snap together 1/72 plastic WW II armored vehicles, German mortar, and German machine gun teams.
Their 7000 series of figure sets are all Airfix reissues, with the original contents and quality.
HaT's main line of figure sets (8000 series) have 48 figures (8 poses) for infantry, 12 figures (4 poses) for cavalry, and 4 cannons with 24 men (6 poses) for artillery. The detail is good and consistent. The variety of sets for each time period provide more than enough figures to build full armies. At present, the time periods covered to the greatest extent are Alexander the Great, Republican Rome (Punic Wars), Imperial Rome, Napoleonic Wars, and WW I.
The 6000 series of figures is half size (24 figures - 4 poses) sets for the Roman and Napoleonic periods.
HaT does make a few 1/32 figure sets (9000 series) but I would not recommend them. Rather than sculpting these from scratch, HaT seems to have simply blown up 1/72 figures, so the detail is poor.
Their 99000 series (T series) is the WW II armor and German teams. The detail is fine for wargame purposes and a little scratchbuilding can make these into good quality models.
HaT's newer sets are made of harder plastic which greatly helps painters, although the older sets were never made of plastic that was too soft.
HaT is also now the distributor of Waterloo 1815 sets (AP series). The first five of these are reissues of old Atlantic sets (also put out by Nexus). The rest are Napoleonic and WW II sets of figures which seem to have a quality comparable to HaT's. However, there are fewer figures in thes sets. The infantry sets generally consist of 36 figures (6 poses) and the artillery sets are 4 cannons with 20 men (5 poses).
