@dinosaur:
I would love to get Tac Bombers, Carriers, Battleships and Cruisers in return. Let’s see, 10 infantry @ 3 IPC each should be worth a carrier and a battleship, right?
In the old world AAP & AAE, I bought two copies each, along with 1 AAR, BoB & D-Day, and I was rolling in pieces. Traded all those in long ago however.
Now I have AA50, AA42 and now AAP40. I have all the games combined into the AA50 box (scanned copies of the AAP40 set up charts & laminated them - was kinda pissed when I found out that they were wrong too! :lol: ). Anyway, the Japanese pieces from just those three games very nearly don’t fit into the AA50 storage box for the Japanese. I counted the ships once, and there are something like 18 CVs! I think there are 18 BBSs as well, 20 CAs and somewhere in the neighborhood of 24 DDs!
I emailed Wizards tonight about the battle strip & TAC bomber pieces, I’ll be happy with just those. The correct battle strip is nice to have to teach newbies and kids. the TAc bombers will be nice, although in the above totals I was talking about, I also had 30 Japanese fighter pieces. I have some WWII aircraft models, and noticed that the on the tail of a Japanese Kate I have, it was painted red. So I took 10 of the Japanese fighters and painted the tail section red. I threw on some dull coat for protection, but those are my Japanese TAC bomber pieces now. “Red Tails”, and they fit better on the CVs. The Vals have been regulated to land based detail due to their increased size. :-D
