Also, 4 out of your 10 marines are actually F4F Wildcat fighters. The Zeros and Wildcats have to do with a rule about carrier fighters with a reduced price tag and a reduced move (from 4 to 3, I seem to remember).

Well, to be fair, the USAF wasn’t established until 1947. In 1940, it’d be the US Army Air Corps (USAAC), reorganized to the US Army Air Forces (USAAF) in 1941. And of course, the one that may be of interest in the Pacific would be our US Naval Air Corps (technically under the Bureau of Aeronautics, though the term USNAC was widely used before and during the war).
Though to make this relevant to the thread, quick question to AllClay… will you also be painting a set of Hellcats from the original Pacific?
Oh, and awesome job on the land forces, AllClay. And a big thumbs up to Variable on those Japanese Guadalcanal pieces. I swear, if I just had more time (and patience), I’d try my hand at painting my own AA pieces… oh, well. I’ll satisfy myself admiring the work of others. Keep it up, guys! :-D

Yea, I actually thought about the air force title just after I posted it (then I thought, nah, nobody will say anything heh).
I’ll be painting:
12 Strat Bombers (B-17s), 12 Tactical Bombers (A-24 Banshee or SBD Dauntless), and 16 Fighters (8 Hellcats and 8 P-38 Lightnings).

Hey allwork (mind if I call you allwork?)!
Would/Have you ever paint anything other than A&A units, like for other games?
Talking about Descent, Napoleonic Wars, or any other game? If you have please post! :)Thanks,

Well, it’s not a very well-known game, but to warm up to the A&A minis, I painted my ‘Monsters Menace America’ figures (just the monsters - still haven’t got around to the army figures ironically).
Here they are:
-
Those are awesome. That first one reminds me of Godzilla. I think IL plays a variation of A&A with Godzilla in it.
-
No its called the Doomsday Chicken variation. I play it like a berserker who may attack anybody, while they try to win. Its moves are random and it can take damage and die. Some newTechs allow you to control it for a time, but the enemy can blow up the transmitter that controls it.
I also play a Giant Ants variation based on Them! 50’s sci-fi movie
