@jacobg I think that makes airplanes too vulnerable. You would need to make them cheaper.
Cheaper airplanes and more effective AA might well be more realistic, but be careful about shifting the balance.
Have found a good website to get WWI 1/72nd scaled infantry(michtoy.com) but I am having a hard time finding websites to get scaled 1/3000th scaled ships, 1/285th armor, and 1/500th aircraft. It seems like when I do fine a website there is never any pictures of the product you are buying. Any suggestions?
Yes. you need to goto www.scalespecialties.com
look under navwar thay have WW1 tanks 1/285 scale and ships 1/3000 scale. For infantry michigan toy soldier is where i got mine. make sure you buy those zeppilins as well.
for airplanes goto brookhurst hobbies.com ( i was just there today) and buy tumbling dice ww1 biplanes.
a WW1 game can be made… check out my game and you can see some of these pieces.
I can’t seem to get the link to scalespecialties to work. Are you sure thats the website?
I think I found it:http://www.ss-sms.com What do you suggest for choices for say the tank for germany and all the other countries. There are so many different kinds and I really want one kind of unit for each nation
Are the Zepplins at michtoy?
Ok since you helped us in AARHE ill get that done…
