Many thanks for taking the time to reply!

Anyone in the metro Atlanta, Georgia area interested in playing? There are a few nice gaming cafes in and around the city.

I have multiples of some of the ships as you will see. All of them have collector cards as well. There’s a few Canadian ones in there too.

Will sell the whole lot for a discount.

So I was going through old toys in my basement when I stumbled upon a bin of plastic naval ships and cards that I liked when I was younger and decided to list them on Ebay since I really needed money for school. They are game pieces for Axis and Allies: War at Sea.

I set the auction for 50 thinking “well i’d be happy to get a at least that much for them and if it gets bid up a few extra dollars that’d be nice”. Iv’e since gotten almost 200 veiws, 40 watchers and a couple people message me offering me as much as 350 dollars to end the auction and sell it to them!

I guess my question is, are these things really that valuable and did I majorly screw myself over by not researching more and asking for more money? Most of the people making offers or bidding people seem to be re-sellers of the same miniatures, so i’m worried they could be potentially worth more even than that and that iv’e really screwed myself over…

@djensen yeah I agree

I think the easiest and least expensive way for you to add more ships would be to use similarly-scaled vessels from either Panzerschiffe or Navwar…

…and paint them.  Unlike the A&A WaS miniatures, the minis from both companies are still in production, so you won’t pay a collector’s premium for them.  The Panzerschiffe ships have the advantage of being cheaper to get (they’re made of resin, and the company is US-based), while the Navwar ones are more detailed and are made of metal.  There’s also GHQ (http://www.ghqmodels.com/), whose models are even more detailed, if that’s a consideration for you.

Step 1 is obviously to get a starter pack. But that won’t be enough, so buy some other packs as well. Whatever items you get, you get.

Each unit is worth a certain amount of points. The more powerful the unit, the more points it’s worth. Some of your units will contribute toward your Allied total, some toward the Axis total.

When you play a match, you want each side to have to choose their units. If for example you own 100 points of Axis units and 100 points of Allied units, allow each side to spend significantly less than 100 points for the match. If the Allied force consists of mostly American units, with some British and French thrown in, that’s fine. It’s also fine if the Axis force is mostly Japanese, with a few Germans or even Italians mixed in.

The problem you’ll run into is that some of America’s late war units are OP. This unbalances the game and makes it less enjoyable. To avoid this problem, stick with buying early war units if you can.

Hello

Are you still selling any of this?

Cool, I see your from Canada, lots of players up there. Good luck.

I dowloaded the hefty demo 290meg and I wonder how the campaign portion will play out?

Welcome to the sea side. Be sure to ask anything you are unsure of in regards to the game, thats what we are here for. :)

PS - Nice ship!

Hi Folks,

I built a database for A&A Miniatures (War at Sea) on the TroveStar platform.  It not only contains the original game, but the expansions designed by the forumini crew as well.  I enabled images not only of the cards but of the minis as well.  I have not yet got all the images uploaded but a lot of them are present.  There are images of the original miniatures as well as hand-painted Shapeways Models too.

Check it out if you are curious on TroveStar.com

Thanks for Looking

If you intend on keeping them forever, Paint stir sticks are nice because you can paint nice textured waves and wash behind the ships.

Also if you wanna get creative with unsaveable bent subs, you can cut the towers off and glue to paint stick giving the illusion the subs diving or surfacing.

Perhaps the simplest conversion yet: USS Monssen, a Gleaves class destroyer which is basically a Fletcher with the #3 turret replaced with additional light AA guns.  Taking the  WAS Fletcher, I removed the #3 turret and superstructure aft of it, also the searchlight platforms on the after funnel, being careful to leave the 20mm mounts below them.  A new, single searchlight station was mounted in the previous turret location and the after mast added from nylon bristle.  I also replaced the overly thick main mast with one cut from nylon bristle.

The warspite goes for soo much because of class limits (5-6 I think) and it was in the set task force which commands the most money.  Its a decent ship but not one that see’s alot of play because it lacks torpedo defence.

If you can paint they are no shapeways for like 20.00

This may be my favorite piece in the game, I’m not sure why.

Probably easier to do it this way then updating a bunch of different threads
