My guess is that these pieces were smuggled into the us to avoid customs. No telling where they have been. I would wash them real well before putting them into use :-o
EH eh eh - would have hated to be a mule for that contraband… that artillery could hurt at an angle :evil:

I wonder what someone would pay for my copy of the game these days? :-D
I wondered the same Kiwi…
I still dont think we would get back enough to justify the time and energy spent making them though
Truth.

Mine smelled too… they had the dampness of foxholes and the faint scent of gunpowder.
:-D
Hmm… as far as the color matching goes, that’s tough. Even when the paint bottle says “German Gray” it isn’t necessarily the shade that matches - and there are so many brands to choose from. I’ve just put a few infantry in my pocket and compared them with the choices at the hobby/craft store… :|
Really liking this project - I asked for a list of these awhile back but never got a response - looks like you’ve been busy � 8-) ! �
Do you plan on making these cards available to the public? As in ordering them or a downloadable file for printing? �
Hi, there is a file on BGG ref to those cards by Coachofmany and modified to fit Global 1939. Check it out to see if they are close enough to the ones you are looking for.

Thanks!
Yeah - like those spotter cards… but I’m wanting the template for those pictured…
Cheers Radar.

“Where there’s a whip, there’s a way” I recall chanting that as a kid
LOL I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!
Eh eh eh - nope. And I have the feeling that you too are one of the ones who rooted for the orcs?
Hate to say it… but on occasion I still chant the song… usually on the way to work after a long weekend. :roll:
the biggest disappointment when I was young, was realizing that they never finished the animated LOTR. First time I watched it, I couldn’t believe that it was ended and that there really was no sequel.
For what it is the animated Hobbit and Return of the King weren’t that bad, unless you really dislike folk music . . .
plus my generation didn’t have the luxury of the Peter Jackson version to compare to.
Didn’t the animated Return of the King feature the song, “Where there’s a whip, there’s a way” sung by orcs? Fantastic song… I recall chanting that as a kid. :evil:
EH eh eh:
@Tall:
Viracocha,
Thanks for all of your kind comments.
However, I believe you may have misunderstood me concerning FUTURE NEW GAMES. What I was referring to were completely new games, such as we have with the Invasion of Italy, Invasion of Iwo Jima, and the Solomons Campaign games. Some of these might have new rules, and/or types of units with different A/D/C/M factors.
Of course anyone is capable of their own “house rules” if they wanted to have “new units”, such as Air Transport, S/P Artillery, etc. in a “standard” A&A game such as 1940-Global.
Of course, the UK-Europe(London) and UK-Pacific(Calcutta) were designed as having different paint schemes were meant for Global-1940 games. They will both be normal Infantry types just distinctly different in appearance due to the financial seperation of the two UK commands.
I have soo many ideas that will just take a little time to implement.
“Tall Paul” �
Ahhhh! Checked out some of your other threads in this regard - now I get it (face palm). Coolio van hulio…
Paul - cheers my man. Right now I’m painting FMG Italians… whew, takes some time. Some damn good detail on these. I like that your set (by AllWork) will have so many different characteristics that could represent other stats/abilities for units. Though this would of course prolong an already long game - I don’t care, I’m not only a mini junkie but am a sucker for cool house rules as well. I’d love to do this/have more individual stats for units… but unfortunately, I don’t get to play as much anymore and when I do, it’s usually limited to 1 day. I’m jealous. :evil:
Dangermouse - still lov’in those carriers… especially the camo ones…
<long whistle=“”>Those will look sweet in-game. :-D</long>
Those are pretty nifty Paul! Like those paratroopers… you got any pics of the Marine Raiders where the focus is on the soldier and not the stand as much - like some of the cool paratrooper pics? Would enjoy seeing the detail of those awesome camo jobs on those…
(btw - cool idea for designating different troop types) 8-)
Spitfire! Love what you’re doing here :-D - have wanted to do the same but time restraints has always foiled my plan.
IPC’s are excellent, and the FMG chips have their star on them… so that’s kinda nifty as well.
I like the idea… after all, the first edition/Nova included them. I have A-bomb rules for AA50th, in some gaming groups we don’t use them (or any tech for that matter, or NO’s), but it has provided an interesting and fun game or two when we have. A lot of the time it was ignored or just didn’t happen in time to matter. I’ve never tried any atom bomb variants for global.
Strange… talking about splitting the atom as a weapon for ‘fun’… :| eh eh eh
edit: Well… the atom bomb rules in the Nova edition were “official optional rules”, not standard official…
Deg - yeah, was led to Wiki’s roundels in the past, thought it was nifty but at the end of the day… nothing to do with them except perhaps use them to decorate a dice tower. Hmm… don’t know the tricks you need Deg…
Let me know Oz… I like the 40k figs…
Those are sweeeet. Especially like those black/dark green (?) zeros! A good choice of green for those Brit infantry… good stuff all around. Looks pretty cool having painted pieces in a game yeah?
