So, here are pics to follow up with my tutorial. As you can see in the first frame, the pieces are lined up about 1-2 inches apart. In the 2nd frame the pieces have been painted with one coat. The piece’s plastic still shines through a bit, but that’s good, because it means it is a light coat that doesn’t fill in the detail. Frame 3 is after 2 coats. Priming really helps the painting process!!

Frame 4 is after I painted a tan undercoat. I think I had done one brown ink wash too, but I don’t remember.

Here is a pic of one of the mech. inf I finished up on… just to see how it would look. I actually like it as a desert scheme a lot!!

Hey, no problem! I’ve been a long time coming, and I have been SUPER busy, so don’t worry about it. Get better soon!

Hey, I apologize for my long wait in between rounds. I have all my moves written out, but I need to post them and edit the map. I’ll be gone this weekend, but I’ll be back up in a few days. Thanks!

How much is he selling them for?

Frankly, Larry and Krieg have done a fantastic job of creating this game and maintaining a fairly good balance…even though I complain about the US, one side really doesn’t win a lot more than the other. So I’m going to take whats given, historical inaccuracies and all. A historically accurate WWII wouldn’t make the game any fun…we all know what happens!  :wink:

@oztea:

It should be excuseable for the US to start with a handful more infantry, considering France starts with a larger domestic army than the US.

I may be mistaken , but I’m pretty sure that the French did have a larger military before the US entered…definitely per capita. They were at war for goodness sake!

Update: I tried spraying my French infantry with primer to get the hang of it and to see how well it works. It’s GREAT! The pieces only require about 1 coat of paint with a few touch ups, and the paint applies very easily. I’m sold.

To spray your pieces, just set them on a piece of cardboard, and give them a 2 light (keyword, light) coats of primer, one after the other has dried. You should basically follow the instructions on the can- hold it about 10 inches away from the pieces.

So when it is suitable weather here I will prime my FMG units and start painting those, but until then, I have started one “national infantry” French piece… it’s just a French infantry with the roundel on the base, and some good detailing work like highlighting and shadowing. Pics will follow when I am done.

Ah, I didn’t look at the NOs closely… yes, you’re right, those 2 are rarely accomplished early game. Well, 72 IPCs is better. Gosh, America is so lame in this game  :lol: well, the game is well balanced somehow and Larry did a good job, so who am I to complain.

So the US gets 82 IPCs per turn when at war?? That seems outrageous… I don’t know- I know the US is OP, but still.

have the fighter die please

Take 1 Battleship hit, then the cruiser and 1 fighter dies. Left is a wounded Battleship, and an AC with 1 fighter.
