I had some time off work so I sat and grinded out a complete set of Anniversary edition components. What do you think?
They aren’t display standard but I think they look great on the game board. I’ve also added lots of decals from historical boardgaming. Great site by the way.
@nolimit Thanks! Yeah, I’ve seen some examples of national emblems on the bases and it looks very effective but I’ve done 30 infantry for each nation and I couldn’t face all that fiddly work on so many bases!

I went and got some Humbrol matt spray varnish earlier. I warmed it up a bit and gave it a good shake which seems to have produced pretty good results. I’m just letting everything cure overnight now.
Hello everyone, I’m new here.
If, for example I was playing as Russia and I lost my capital to Germany, I would hand all my IPC’s to Germany and be unable to receive income or build any troops until my capital was liberated. If during this time I then somehow managed to use my remaining Russian troops to conquer Berlin (lets assume Germany had bled itself dry taking Moscow) then Germany would have to hand me its IPC’s, which I could not spend? Is that right?
@private-panic Hello there, I live in Newark in Notts and I would be glad to attend both of those events if you have room. Are they one day events?
@the-captain Thanks! Its very encouraging to hear your comments.
I primed them in grey Humbrol acrylic primer and painted them in the Vallejo range of acrylic paints and then finished them with waterslide decals from historicalboardgaming.com. I got into a bit of a rythym with the painting. There was a ton of miniatures to get through and I sort of production lined them. It would have been nice to really take my time with them but there were too many and I wanted to get them onto the board.
I’ll have a look at the ones you mentioned to try and get some inspiration.
If I have a fighter on a carrier and the fighter moves 2 spaces away to attack something and then 2 spaces back to land on the carrier during the non combat movement phase, it has then used all 4 of its movement points. Can that carrier then also move 2 spaces carrying the spent fighter as part of the carriers non combat movement phase?
@leebear By far the most laborious part of the painting was the infantry. All the other stuff was fun to paint but you have to really focus on small detail with infantry to stop them looking a mess. If you look closely you’ll see a couple of shortcuts I’ve used such as with Japan and Germany where I’ve painted the bases and the boots the same colour to avoid having to etch my way around the boot line on every model.
@the-captain Ahh, yeah you’d certainly need a comprehensive colour scheme like that to play with those rules, from what I’ve seen.
I’ve actually gotten better by the end of painting 600 miniatures than I was to start with, meaning I keep wanting to repaint the ones I did first. Its like a never ending cycle!
