Axis and Allies Miniatures Collections

It’s kinda hard to answer your question because it depends on how much you are willing to spend, do you want to play historically, do you only want to collect one type of fleet?  I would say that it would be hard to win many games if you go German and then play against someone who is bringing an American fleet.  I say this because the Germans (and let’s add the Italians, French, Australian, and even to some extent the British) are so underpowered in the way of air power that I think you would lose every time.  If you play historically and avoid any kind of cheesy fleet combinations…well, you might have a chance.  In my opinion, and that’s all it is, you’d be hard pressed to beat an American fleet in a 150pt or higher game.  At that point level you can bring a battleship, two carriers and enough planes to destroy whatever your opponent is bringing…only a Japanese fleet with multiple Yamatos might stand a chance against an equal point American fleet.  Let’s say you collect only a German fleet…how would you stop my air power?  I’d have all your ships sunk before you made it within striking distance.  Maybe I’m full of crap, but, I’d say go American if you want the most balance and options.  Maybe the second set of WaS will have more air support for the Germans and the other Axis powers (Japan not included) but as it stands now…they’d get crushed.  I don’t think that would be much fun for you.

I don’t know yet. I’ll flesh out the idea more after March 5.  :-)

Something like MechanizedWarfare suggested works best; US & UK vs GE usually works well. A free-for-all is interesting to do sometimes, but often it simply ends up with two players joining up against the third who doesn’t have a chance.

Shit thats alot of stuff i think you should put it by countries
also…
could you give me a list of your german armor
im in the market for a couple new additions

For 8 more points, instead of a Tiger I, you can use a King Tiger.  It doesnt dwarf the Tiger I, but it looks scary on the battlefield and the stats are scary too, so id use it for psychological warfare.  You know……make them crap their pants.  :lol:

The FAQ has been updated for Contested Skies. Apparently the addition of airplanes has thrown a wrench in some of the existing rules and abilities.

If by tourney para bomb you mean too many paratroopers to shoot at.  then the answer to this is NO.  this 150 point build isn’t the way to go.  I tried this and my buddy brought out 8 paratroopers and 2 captains.  that alone caused way too much chaos, not to mention the shermans.  i haven’t tried it against an all out sherman swarm.  but again i would say NO.  shermans are so powerful especially in hordes.  ( but that def of the KT is awe strucking)
