Classic Piece Identification

[Der Kuenstler]

Has anyone idntified the pieces in classic?

The bombers look like B-17s
The tanks look like Panzer IIIs

What are the fighters?

What are the other units?

[CWO Marc]

As far as I know the equipment pieces in Classic are generic.  And in the case of the sub, I’d call it “inaccurately generic” since it looks more like a modern sub than a WWII one.

[Der Kuenstler]

I think you’re right - the closest I came with the fighter was a Zero, but the wing profile was still a little different.

Wish I had not thrown mine out when I moved house 2 years ago. (Before I found this forum.) Now only have fond memories. I think I bought mine in 91 in London.

Hey Wittman go to ebay. I looked yesterday you can pick up a used one for pretty cheap.

[Witt]

Thanks GoSanchez. I threw it out because I had too many games. Not just A&A.
Would like to see the map again and remind myself of the set up.
Thing is would never play it. Stopped playing it  as I had  bought newer ones.
And I am a married man now!

Would like to see the map again

NO… you really wouldn’t…

[Witt]

That bad, Garg?
Been a while and I am one of those people who live in the past, so would enjoy the nostalgia.
Do not want to own it again, for storage space reasons and clutter.

Pretty sure the fighter is Japanese.  I think the ships are generic.

[Yavid]

every piece is generic

[Viracocha]

Huh - I was going to post the same inquiry.  After rifling through some old bits boxes…  The transport could be a Victory/Liberty… but just as easily a common freight ship.  The fighter - zero looks like, but hell, could be an avenger eh eh eh Sub - you’re right, looks pretty modern.  That tank… is that spotlight on it?  Bomber - B-17, though there are a couple USSR bombers it could be.  I suppose they might have had the intention of being generic Yavid, but not too sure given the early state of those sculpts…

[Yavid]

I’m saying there generic because Larry and Krieg has said they are generic.

[Imperious Leader]

EVERY piece is generic, except infantry.

[Yavid]

but if you want to talk about what they kind of look like… I’ve always thought the fight looked like the American Buffalo fighter

[Viracocha]

@Yavid:

I’m saying there generic because Larry and Krieg has said they are generic.

Ah - fair enough, did not know this (obviously). THe way they worded it on the box I wasn’t sure.

Hmm… the Buffalo huh?  Yeah… I suppose so…

[Yavid]

I just figure if you compare it to the units that we currently use it looks big and bulky

[Viracocha]

Just did - yeah…  Actually isn’t that bad a sculpt, too bad it isn’t a little longer.

[Yavid]

The bomber I have little to no idea, but it does kind of look like a poorly done B-17

[Viracocha]

Agreed.  Tank is the one I always thought strange… that searchlight effect of that part on the turret section of the sculpt, good stuff in a way.  Think I’ll try modernizing, using some clay bits to mount some searchlights on better sculpts…  :lol:

[Yavid]

The tank (to me) looks like a Panzer III with the 50mm gun, or maybe a short barrell Panzer IV
