Hello! I am “re-introducing,” first became a member back in 2009, I am uncertain when I began playing A&A, early 1980’s, still have the Nova though mainly just used when I take pics of minis. I had completely tricked out/detailed the A&A50th some years after its release - so that it was mobile as I worked for months at a time abroad. The set took major causalities about 12 years ago, half destroyed and many pieces MIA. But we can rebuild, stronger, faster - I have almost completed redoing the set, this time with a custom map and new customizations! Can you tell I’m enthusiastic about it? eh eh eh In the distant past I had done commissions for museums and some gaming companies - started to post my A&A anniversary set here, but I reached my limit before even completing the infantry - but a few good G.I.'s were able to get a foothold. Had planned to post others.

Situated and taken up residence some years ago - now room for a larger map and have gathered the armies that were stored here and there. And - recovered my login here, good stuff.

PS: Oh -that’s my late father as my profile photo, WWII tanker, Sherman.

@Viracocha

Many years ago, completed and made for global travel so as to have global war.

@Viracocha I have been informed that I have reached a posting limit…I guess it has changed since 2009/when I first became a member - lol, I don’t recall having a limit, was there? Bummer. Well, there’s a few of the infantry. It was fun detailing them.

@barnee Yeah, I see there is some kind of reputation mechanic/dynamic or something, huh… Well, cheers for that “up-vote” (nope, don’t like it…sounds weird).

@barnee I had planned on posting more, sure.

There were many games abroad until running afoul with a malicious border guards about a dozen years ago…my AA50th has been redone again, well, not yet - almost. This set is for a set of house rules of a 1 branched tech. tree, in case you’re wondering as to the different units. I’ll start with the USA thus far… ![2020-03-25 13.40.58.jpg] ![2020-03-25 14.28.36.jpg] ![2020-03-25 14.30.40.jpg]
So the top dark greens and some trench coats for winter climes are the standard US GI’s, a lot of changes for these infantry - so many cool sculpts out there. I settled on these the second time around - they give me that playing with large gummy type soldiery as a young lad, yet detailed enough to be pretty spot-on in regard to historical reflection and “fluid” or realistic looks/poses. There are a few from a different set mixed in - some lighter uniforms and gear for the Pacific infantry.
Airborne are next - chose the 101st but have some Army Angels as well (not pictured). These come with the Parachute tech dev. - Airborne, must be purchased with a reg. infantry, +1 the 1st combat round when dropped in. Can act as an escort in commando raids.
Marines next - though these units are slightly dated, my later ones have the grey/blue trousers. These are the most common Airfix - meh…most are fluid anatomically, though some don’t like the size variance among them - I dig it, people were different sizes, but understandable if you want more the gaming piece same size all-around kinda thing…
