I have two starter packs of War at Sea and 4 or 5 boosters, so I have the rules. I agree that they are fast-playing and pretty bare bones. I have played most of the rule sets that I mentioned, and likely will use the War at Sea ships to play them as well. I might also mount some of the ships from my various Axis and Allies game sets on strips of index card, and use them for additional ships. I am working on a data card for a B-25 Strafer as used in the Battle of the Bismarck Sea. I picked up two sets of the Tamiya 1/700 scale Mitchells to use with them. I will like add them to the Axis and Allies game as well, using them as the US bomber, and the B-17 as a heavy bomber per weapons research rules.
Quite a miniatures collection for $100

Guys, first time poster here.
I’ve been a long time A&A fan, especially the Naval Miniatures. About 13 years ago, I was offered a giant lot of A&A miniatures (many many hundreds of pieces, maybe 500 pieces if not more) for a whopping 100 bucks.
There’s a ton of stuff, everything from an ME-262, to a King tiger, a few Tiger 1’s, a few SS Panther’s, Shermans galore, tons of stuff. Even a Higgins boat landing craft.
I had never played, and to this day I have yet to play. I have kept them around because I desire to learn and play, but I also realize that players are few and far between these days, in general.
I’m wondering what to do with all of it. I know these have retained value over the years. There is the potential for sale but I’m not sure yet. Keep it and take the time to learn/find other players or move it on to someone who already has that foundation in place?
I will post pictures tomorrow potentially, there’s a lot of units here to separate by nation.

@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.
