@Noble:
I love that you touch your pinky to your other hand. I do the same when painting and it’s the best way to stay steady. Keep up the great work!
LOL, that’s funny you noticed! Thanks for the comment!
"Tall Paul's" ENTIRE SET, detailed & painted A&A units by The "WARMACHINE TEAM"!

Guys,
––But it’s really my secret plan of campaign. The “Sugar Tanks” get your attention while the “Chocolate Tanks” roll up your flanks and go for the jugular.
OOOO! My bowels are trembling in fear!
Your sugar tanks are no match for my maple-syrup dipped infantry, not even dice rolls can pull them off the board.
And prepare for your plans to get all Jammed… raspberry! Because my heart-destroyers are going to raise your sub-cholestorols right from the sea!
––Hmmm, only a 2nd-rate Navy would go to war with “Heart Destroyers”. How disappointing. :wink:
––A simple torpedo from one of my “Secret Sauce” Submarines would burn a new hole in your “Sweet DD”! :-o
––And while your Maple syrup-dipped Infantry are stuck to the muck,…my
Chocolate Tanks will annihilate your ‘waistline’ forces and earn another “Hershey’s Hero” award along with a good 'Payday", too. :-D
––You know, all this talk about “Combat Quisine” has made me hungry. It’s 2:50 pm here, and I haven’t had lunch yet. So I propose a cease-fire until I can eat and then return to annihilate your naval forces with a “Bar-be-que Battleship” Biltzkreig! :evil:“Tall Paul”

A Cease-Frier?
Agreed. :P

Guys,
––After adding a few new units and correcting some ‘typos’ here is the updated Unit List as of 02-05-2013.

Guys,
––After speaking with Lucas, he says he expects to have 10(ten) of the 12(twelve)
F-4F Wildcats completed by this week-end(02-10-2013). We ran out of a certain type of decals and he’ll finish the others once we receive some more decals.––The Wildcats will be in 3(three) different schemes: :-D
(1.) U.S. Navy ‘Early-war’ scheme with White F-#s and Red/White rudder stripes & Red “dots” on the stars.
(2.) U.S. Navy ‘Intermediate’ scheme with White #s and without the Red “dots”.
(3.) U.S.M.C ‘Guadalcanal’ scheme with black #s.“Tall Paul”

Guys,
––Here’s the latest up-date as of 3-20-2013:
----While Lucas has completed painting some American aircraft:
Four F-4F Wildcats in “Guadalcanal” Marine scheme
Four F-4F Wildcats in “Early” U.S. Navy scheme w Red/White rudder stripes
Four F-4F Wildcats in “Intermediate” U.S. Navy scheme
––He hasn’t yet been able to get any quality pics to post yet.----He’s currently working on:
Six Stuart light tanks & Six Sherman medium tanks all in Anzac camo colors.
––Hopefully by the time the Anzac tanks are finished we’ll have some pics of all of the latest detailed/painted units from “Team WARMACHINE”!“Tall Paul”

Guys,
Updated as of May 14, 2013
––Here are some overhead shots that Lucas took of the latest shipment. Whenever I can find some time I’ll take some additional pics, including some group shots and close-ups. Go “Team WarMachine”!
“Tall Paul”

Guys,
––Here’s another overhead shot of the whole shipment taken by Lucas. Including the prototypes there were:
18 - U.S. Army Stuart light tanks
18 - U.S. Army Sherman medium tanks
12 - U.S.M.C. Stuart light tanks
12 - U.S.M.C. Sherman medium tanks
6 - Anzac Stuart light tanks
2 - U.S. Navy ‘Wildcat’ Fighters––The U.S.M.C. tanks have blackish-green camo stripes, and the Anzacs have a correct (and cool) camo scheme of their own.
----It looks as if the factories of “the arsenal of democracy” have ramped up production to a high level now.“Tall Paul”
-
Those look sweet!
-
TheVenocWarlord and Others,
Those look sweet!
––I completely agree with your sentiments that both Wil and Lucas did great work on these. Wil is the “master of modification” and detailing whereas Lucas has a true talent for painting the tiniest of details on his excellent paintjobs.
----If you’d like to see more of their awesome work you should check out their threads here on A&A.Org. You might also
checkout some of the threads with links listed in message #1 of this thread.
----I’m glad you enjoyed seeing these units and welcome you to stick around as there are hundreds more “in the works”.“Tall Paul”

Tall Paul,
I’ve been watching the evolution of your pieces and am really impressed with the work you have commissioned. It will be very cool to see them on the board in action.
My compliments to the “Machine”.

––Thanks for your kind compliment,…And like I’ve said many times before. For me,…it’s all about FUN! And a big part of that for me is sharing with friends. I look forward to the day that I(we) can play an A&A G-40 game together with all of the other friends I’ve made here on A&A.Org.
––BTW, are you planning to go to the HBG Gaming Convention next year? I hope I’m able to make it there myself but don’t know for certain at the moment. I’m hoping our “WarMachine Team” is able to crank out a large amount of detailed/painted units by then. If so, I’ll look forward to using them in a game for the FIRST TIME.
––As I’m a historian rather than a true gamer/nerd(said w/respect), I’ve never been to a gaming convention. But if I’m able to, I’ll make this one for sure.
----Thanks again for your compliments, and I hope you continue to enjoy the units.
Three cheers for Wil, Lucas, and “Allwork’s” great work.“Tall Paul”

SgtWilTan,
––Hello Wil. It’s Saturday 2:00PM CST and I was just wondering if you had an update or pics of the Russian tanks
and/or other ‘stuff’ yet.“Tall Paul”

My I ask what you are going to do with all those units? If US bought 5 tanks during a game that would be about 4 more than they would need.

My I ask what you are going to do with all those units? If US bought 5 tanks during a game that would be about 4 more than they would need.
Yeah, that is way more than enough pieces for US tanks in A&A…
But, on the other hand, they don’t necessarily have to only be used in A&A. -

But, on the other hand, they don’t necessarily have to only be used in A&A.––Well, let’s see. Let’s start out with 1/2 of them are U.S. Army for the Atlantic/European theater, and 1/2 are U.S. Marine units to be used in the Pacific theater.
----I’ve been involved in some very diverse games that were played with long-range goals in mind where it wasn’t inconceivable that the U.S.A. might need this many tanks. :-o
----Since Germany and Russia can easily have 30 tanks involved in the game I decided to also have that many available for the other major powers,…U.S.A., U.K., and Japan.
----Also,…I have more than just a simple G-40 game in mind for all of these units. I plan to one day play a “Solomon Islands” game with a gameboard expanded to the same size of a G-40 map. All the way from Nomea to the Admiralties with overseas leads to Truk/Japan and Pearl Harbor/America. When using all of the “options” there could be several “new” units, Attack aircraft, APD Destroyer Transports, Marine Raiders(etc. -
Calling V.I.P. “V”,
––Hey “V”, I just had a moment when I noticed your last heya. How have you been, lately. Whenever you get some time I’d enjoy talking with you. And if you just happenned to have some news or pics of your nicely painted units,…even better. Later, friend.

I noticed upon further research into paint schemes for US forces that might help with unit IDs between Army and Marines forces.
US Army forces made much more use of white ID stars than Marines as the likelihood of other enemy vehicles was much more prevalent
in the European theater. The Marines basically had the run of he pacific islands with their organic armor due to the paucity of Japanese armor
arrayed against them. You can go to tracklink to see many 1/35th examples which will also give you more ideas for color schemes.I think the first set I will have completely painted for my own use will be the Battle of the bulge due to the lesser number of equipment types and then
move on to the Guadalcanal game for the second set.Hope this helps a bit with tabletop IDs for your US units.
