• Nice picture, is that map a modified Axis and Allies Europe map?  Also what game were the pieces from?  I don’t recognize it as any Axis and Allies pieces.

    cannon fodder-  Look at page 7 of this thread, there is more then 1 pic  :evil:


  • HOLY COW!  Let me rephrase that, nice pictures!!!  Are the pieces from Axis and Allies minatures?

    Is the map on plexiglass?  I thought I saw the light from the camera on the map.  That is really nice.

    Yes the pieces are from the A&A land Minis game and the Boats are from A&A War at Sea

    yes plexi glass, so to protect the map from spills and whatever else could end up on it

    I am getting ready to print out your map 47" X 94"
    I also have a 48" X 96" piece of plexiglass to lay over it.
    I have nearly collected the pieces and now starting to paint.
    I am using 1/285 armor and 1/2400 ships and 1/72 infantry
    AAA subs and artillery


  • Sorry for the late post, but this was awsome. I haven’t played a live game in years and this took me back. Plus the map was well made and put together nicely. Much better than playing on a piece of hand painted cardboard box. The pieces fit well with the oversized gameboard. Definately can’t wait until the next time.


  • How much would it cost to get a basic set of Axis and Allies Minatures to be able to use it to play a game of Axis and Allies Spring 1942 Edition?  I have no idea how much minatures cost.  And where could I go to find cheap minatures.

    you wouldn’t want to go and Buy a Whole set, most of the units will be of No use to you.

    Honestly I can’t answer that……right now.  I got most of my units through trading. But I am sure I have spent close to a Grand on all my Axis and Allies stuff put together(Mini’s, Board games, and the Map)


  • How about enough units to play Axis and Allies Spring 1942 with minatures?  Your pictures looked so cool, I thought I would give it a shot.

    considering War at Sea box cost $15 for 1 rare, 1 uncommon, and 3 commons And around $10 a box for the land Minis, !r, 2x UC  and 5-6 commmons.  You want version 1 vehicles though. Version 2 they are bigger, BUT WILL be easier to collect I think


  • Thanks, I will check ebay first.  What is the difference between version 1 and version 2?  Sorry I play Axis and Allies boardgames but not the Minatures.

    I would buy “Panzerschiffe” 1/2400 which are smaller than AA Min’s but larger than AAA from the box.
    You can get destroyer for $1.50 , cruisers for $3.00 and BB for $5.00
    Then paint them what you want.
    This is the way I am going.

    Those look Nice  And would most likely be cheaper in the long run

    I had a friend get out of playing because of work issues, and I was able to use those pieces as trade fodder to get the amount of each piece a i needed from each country

    as an example I have 12 PzIV Ausf G’s which is the german tank you see, Now aquire the same # of tanks for each country depends on the country.  Some are uncommon and some are rares. Japan was the hardest to collect btw.

    I am working on the Axis Minors, Toldi tanks, T-26, PZ-38t
    I have Dutch ships, Candadian, Australian, as well as France.
    It is growing! I am also adding Light tanks to each country so that i will have them as the game progresses.


  • Thanks for the information, I suck at painting and even if the minitures cost more I think it evens out on time spent on painting or paying someone else to paint it for me.

    I can paint, but do not have the time, I will have to pay!  :cry:


  • Who do you get to paint your pieces?  Is there a service?  Also how much does it cost?

  • How about some comments on the game play?


  • where did you get all of those units?
