@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.

Yeah, I’m pretty new, I’ve been studying the units and accumulating. I played 2 or three games back in Sept. while I was in Iraq. I had a two player strater and an expansion pack shipped to me so I could try it out. The funny thing is I got 2 KV1s as my rares. Since then I have played 4 games, Just finnished another. This time I decided to have a big Tank fight with my son. So I took all of my American and British Armor and put it against all of my German Armor plus 2 SIG 33s It was way lopsided against the Germans so I gave the Allies to my son. Here’s the Units:
Germany:
11x Panzer IV G
2x sIG 33360pts
Allies:
1x M4A3E8
1x M3 Lee
12x M4A1
2x Churchill Croc
3x Crusader II
5x M3 Stuart521pts
Wanna guess how that one turned out? Hint: my record against my son is now 0:2 lol
I am getting a beter Idea how the tanks work best though so when I play against the guys (2:0 btw) I am better at manuvering.
-
Yea that was pretty lopsided, especially since he had the Easy Eight Sherman. :lol: Hey are you thinking of trading/selling any units soon? I’m trying to accumulate a large Russian army. :-P
-
I will be soon, I have 2 cases on the way when I see what I have I am going to try to get better organised. Sadly, as of right now I’m lacking on the russian units. If I ever get my stuff back from Iraq I will have 3 KV1s though.

Well theres no need to ask what pieces I have. Click on the link in my signature. :-D I made it using the Axis and Allies Miniatures Manager program. Its a real good program. Keeps track of your collection, builds, trade list, etc.
You can download AAM Manager here.

That’s a pretty nice set of Russian Tanks.

Looks like a real nice program. One question though. How do you import the unit sets?
Thanks -

Thanks……although I have only pulled three of them from boosters (1 guards, 1 KV-1, 1 T34/76.) The other day I had extreme luck when I bought the last three Base Set boosters at the local comic book shop. One contained a KV-1 and another contained a T-34/76. Unfortunately for me, the third and final booster contained a Renault. :oops: I have a pretty good amount of Mosin Nagants as well.

ThanksWhat exactly do you mean? :|

AAM Manager already has the unit stats/photos already on it. Just download and install.
-
hmm… I did download and install it but I can’t do anything with it because all the unit selections are blank. There are no units in it.
-
I downloaded it a second time and now the units are there. Thanks Guys
