@richter man, could you send me the reinforce charts and cards
???
Bought D Day Sealed, but there is no UK Blonde Units
-
Ya I know. I can post a pick with all my UK units next to each other if you want. They look like an off white color to me. Maybe they are cream. You got pics of cream?
-
These are my 4 UK infrantry that I have. So maybe I got cream then?
-
The four sculpts in your picture, going left to right, look to me like an early-vintage medium-tan sculpt (Milton Bradley, original Europe, orignal Pacific), a salmon/pink sculpt from (as I recall) Battle of the Bulge, a current-vintage light beige one, and an ivory/cream/blonde/white/whatever one from D-Day. From memory, they look like a close match to my own sculpts. When I get home tonight, I’ll try to take a few pictures of my D-Day British infantry pieces (under different lighting conditions for comparison, if I’m able) and I’ll post them tomorrow.
-
I looks like the UK Blonde ones that I was talking about, but it is hard to tell sometimes with lighting. Thanks for taking a picture of it, and thanks CWO for showing me the threads on it. :-)
-
@Marc your comments as always seem to take the words right out of my mouth buddy! LOL. I must say though my friend considering how expensive those block houses are you still got a great deal. :-D I did get a full set of bunkers on Ebay for a steal I think I shall never get again.

@CWO:
 but in your pictures they don’t match.
Actually, I just provided a link to the thread in question. The pictures and accompanying text are by knp7765, a fellow member of the Honourable Order of Piece Junkies.
:-D :-D :-D Sooo True!

Yes the first one on left is from the Pacific game.

I have 5000 pieces. Do I count as a junkie.

Here are the four pictures I took last evening of the “blonde” (or cream or ivory or off-white) British infantry sculpt from the original printing of D-Day. It’s the piece in the centre. For colour comparison purposes, I placed it on a white 3x5 index card, with a Global 1940 light beige British infantry piece on the right and a stark white colonial infantry unit from War: Age of Imperialism on the left. The four lighting conditions I used were: direct sunlight (first picture, top), open-shade daylight (first picture, bottom), fluorescent lighting (second picture, top) and electronic flash (second picture, bottom). As you can see, the lighting greatly affects the apparent colour of the pieces. Just in my own opinion, I’d say that the open-shade picture gives the most accurate rendition of the colours, and that the shot taken in fluorescent lighting is the least faithful one.

Top picture looks like mine. So I have the cream color. Sorry about that John Brown. I thought they were white. Thanks CWO Marc.

It certainly starts you off in the right direction. :-)

No problem man, I’m just glad I didn’t have to hunt for white ones as well, LOL. :-D

Thanks for taking those pics. The lighting makes a huge difference!

LOL, likewise. I’ve been checking ebay the last couple of days.
Well I bought a whole army of them yesterday on Ebay, from a girl in Montana. I did what you all suggested. I questioned her thoroughly about it, and she convinced they are UK Blonde, so wish me luck, because if no,t I wasted more money, again.
-
Well guys, I got my British army, but it wasn’t the UK Blonde. The girl who I explained to what I was looking thought she sent the right ones, but she sent me the salmon colored ones, so I give up. I will just have to wait till HBG gets some more. The good news is I can use the salmon ones, because I don’t have many of those, but the elusive blondes, will have to wait.

You are talking about the ( UK Blonde ) cream color?

@SS:

Yes. This is my second attempt to get some, but they are alluding me.

Time to go to rummage sales! :-D

See amazon has 2 d day games for 2 different prices. Maybe ask them to look and see if they got cream color for uk in them. Tell them they be like an off white color.
