Modeling Techniques

@RisingSun I had similar experience, I was big into the naval miniatures but couldn’t afford both. I bought a lot on ebay a year or so ago and have played a few games. It is not difficult to learn especially if you are familiar with the navy side, it’s pretty similar but includes facing. I think it’s a great game and wish I had collected it some when it was active.

Want durable printed Acis & Allies miniatures maps at a reasonable cost?

I printed out maps using vinyl banner material from Vistaprint. Using a 50% off coupon proved to be a very economical way to create durable maps. I had to combine maps add borders to some of the maps to make them fit the standard banner dimension. It was simple to trim and cut using a straight edge and razor.

I have since had to update the login and password. If you are interested in accessing the account to print directly from previous orders (rather than uploading your own, modified to the Vistaprint banner dimensions), please contact me directly.

I get no money or commission for this.

Yes.

Unfortunately there are several errors/typos in the new cards.

It looks like the 7pt one has the ribbon?

very good example without answer….

A successful defensive-fire attack disrupts the target. Since disrupted units can’t move, this
normally ends that unit’s movement. Grizzled Veteran ignore face up, so it can move.
If you are playing with Lethal Defensive Fire (Expanded Rules is another history.

there are a few minis that have this problem.  there seems to be 1 or 2 in each set.  just plain weird that WOTC would get so many right, and still leave a couple messed up

I totally disagree about the quality of the FOW miniatures

I didnt say they were bad miniatures, only that they are a total rip off like AA miniatures. If you keep the scale with 1/285 you get those horrible blobs made by GHQ that are way to small for a decent aesthetic. Also the AA minis are not really in scale either. The soldiers seem too tall compared with say the tiger tank. FOW is in true scale but a total ripoff. AA is a smaller rip off, because they create this “collectible” crap with having some pieces made in less quantities than others. The solution is allways to go down in scale and deal with companies that can sell you what you want without resorting to “Ebay”
The secondary importance is clear when you realize that the 1/285 scale is the same size as your regular AA ground pieces (well tanks and artillery). While the necessary detraction is having 1/72 scale infantry which are large rthan the tanks.
