Not enough units.. How many more?

  • Customizer

    sgtwiltan,
    When they say new transports, I’m pretty sure they are talking about the transport ships. The Bren/Universal carriers would fit more as a Mech Inf piece.
    Since the 1940 games include Mech Inf, it would be really cool if they did have the Bren carriers for UK and ANZAC.

    I got myself several copies of 1941 so I have plenty of Tigers, He111s, P-40s, etc. I’m only keeping the pieces that are country correct and selling the ones that are in wrong country colors on eBay (tan and green IS-2s, black Japanese ships, etc.). So far, a few people have taken an interest. Probably just not as picky as I am.
    I also got a few copies of 1942 2e for extra pieces too. Yeah, it’s kind of expensive but I really wanted a good amount of the new sculpts. Hopefully I will make some of my money back selling extra pieces off. Thank God there are other piece junkies out there.

    I also like the dice with the rounded corners. I wish the FMG Combat Dice were like that. I just love the combat dice and can’t imagine playing A&A without them.

    Cool, I like those dice!!!

    Just for you guys, here’s a pic. I’ll bring them with me to Pacificon at the end of the month for you to see if you like. White ones are CHX 25601. Grey ones are CHX 25610.

    Oh yea!  Those are cool.  They sell those in four or six packs?


  • Wondering why you prefer round cornered dices?

    Mine came in 12 packs for about 6 bucks on Amazon.

    The look a bit nicer to me, feel better in the hand. I’m thinking about getting some nice marbled ones for my AA50 game.

    Yes, those dice are “Aesthetically Pleasing.”

    I dig the grey and black ones…looks like something Al Davis would have used but he is dead.

    let me be the first to say:  Oh. My. God.

    As a A&A, D&D, WH40K, and pretty much anything else with an acronym and dice involved, I thought that I had a lot of dice.

    I even have a friend that collects dice, and HE doesn’t have half as many as you have!

    Wow. Just, Wow

    Wow Scar, that looks like a bad dream…like a unicorn puked in there…I’m jealous.


  • i put all my D6s in a Crown Royal bag. I used to have a second Crown Royal bag with all my other dice, but that bag got lost or stolen.


  • Funny thing is that is not all my dice, I have a few hundred in another container or two or three, plus all the dice in my games.

    WOW! That is a lot of dice. I just have mostly 6 sided dice for my games. The only games I have that use other dice are Fortress America with 8 and 10 sided dice, and Shogun which I think uses 12 sided dice. Everything else uses 6 sided dice.
    Here’s a pic of my container for my combat dice from FMG, plus a few of regular dice. Before I got France and ANZAC, I was using the black with white pips for France and black with red pips for ANZAC. (I really love having actual French and ANZAC dice now) Also, I use the white dice for all neutrals.
    I’ve also got some black and red dice with the rounded corners in another container. Plus, I’ve got a ton of extras now from all my '41 and '42 2e games I bought recently still in their little bags. Not sure what I will do with those yet.

    I have more dice than KNP…  I’ll see if I can’t get a pic.


  • ok back to the original question. I got two copies of the game and I’m using the pieces in Global it seems like I’m going to need a 3rd mostly for the ships and fighters

    Use them as late war pieces when you use up the OOTB pieces or as elites.

    I have been but 4 destroyers and 4 Japanese AC just doesn’t seem to cut it. a 3rd copy should do it.

    Yeah, I ended up doing 3 copies myself. It worked out well for my customized AA50 set. Should work numbers-wise for a G40 set as well.

    Good to know thanks for the info.
