@RisingSun I had similar experience, I was big into the naval miniatures but couldn’t afford both. I bought a lot on ebay a year or so ago and have played a few games. It is not difficult to learn especially if you are familiar with the navy side, it’s pretty similar but includes facing. I think it’s a great game and wish I had collected it some when it was active.
Single Pieces?

I’m somewhat new to the game, and I’ve been wanting to have a 1940 France vs. Germany game, or 1941 Russia. But I don’t want to have to buy box after box just to get the right pieces. So, my question is, does anyone know of a place where I can buy individual pieces?

I have ordered from each of these sites and did not have any problems but it was over a year ago on the first (and not for A&A minis) and early fall on the second (for War at Sea singles.)
Also look at the ads on this site. That is how I found the Miniature Market site.

1940 France vs Germany is a very good match.
You’ll need plenty of Char B1-bis (3-4) and 88mm Flak 36 (2-3) becuase it’s the most powerfull unit from that time to stop it. The German tanks are useless agianst the Char armor 5/5. Plus the double shot really hurts. Elite Pnzr IV works but the lighter armor gets it killed quickly. Mechanized infantry is the only way for the Germans to win in my opinion.
The Germans had total control of the air at that time but the German planes have crap anti-tank attack and no special ability to help with the exception of the Junkers but it’s from 1943.
If the Germans are having a problem to win, try adding a plane or two (free of charge) to the German army to even the game. The planes can keep the French infrantry pinned down… historically acurate.
Ebay is the best place to get minis cheap one at a time.
