OK, I am not experienced with minitures so I have a couple of “first aid” questions here…
1 - Bent/Bowed Platforms - Anyone know a good technique for flattening them?
2 - (this is going to challenge my, and other’s maturity here)… I seem to have a problem with… um… limp guns, mostly on tanks and artillery, anyone know a good way to get them straightened back up? My worst is a German D-Day Marder II.
Thanks!
Good god, I thought you were going to start another thread about medics in AAM. :x
The easiest way to fix the bent plastics is to run them under hot/boiling water, reposition the barrel/etc back a bit, then dunk them in very cold water. It should hold that, or close to it. If it still isn’t 100% repeat and perhaps bend the offending portion back a little farther than it needs to be.

Step 1: Obtain viagra.
Step 2: Crush viagra with a heavy object.
Step 3: Mix crushed viagra in boiling water.
Step 4: Dunk the minature with the “limp gun” into the water.
Step 5: Dry it off with a paper towel and viola!
Note: Limp gun will be straight for only 2 hrs. If limp gun is straight for more than the alloted time, contact Avalon Hill immediately!! :-D
LOL Thanks for the help! I’ll be honest… if gun stays hard for more than two hours I am not calling dr or avalon hill until after I talk to my wife!
As for the medics in AAM, a friend was a field medic for a LRRP unit… he found out how useless they were when he broke his own leg! Give me a Higgins Boat in Africa… or on the standard play map before a medic any day!
