I’ll second Andy above. HBG has some great pieces and they paint up really well because of the detail. Good source for OOB pieces as well. Their Fw-190’s are a bit smaller than the OOB versions, but everything else I’ve gotten from them has been great. Especially the Hellcats, Vals, and Stuka G’s.
Please have a look

Not a bad start! You could field a decent British/Commonwealth army with what you have there. You are a little short on AFV’s(armored fighting vehicles) but if you keep scrounging ebay you should find some good deals. I have also ordered some custom made units from this guy: http://www.gamodls.com/ He is an independent seller and has a nice selection of units for the major powers, including some units not covered in A&A and most of his stuff is $4 a piece. I would recommend hitting any local gaming stores in your area, I have found D-Day and Contested Skies boosters for ~$10 when they are selling online for $25-$30 each. A single Higgin’s landing craft can sell for $40+!!! I have 4 now but only got 1 from a booster and traded for the rest. Good Luck!

Ebay is the place. Also, try buying boosters cases and you will be able to build multiple armies, one for you and one for your brother. do a search ob axis and allies mini boosters and you may hit a gold mine. Also, trying contacting the seller and see if he will sell you multiple case for a deat, IE 3 for $200, plus shipping. This will give you nearly 225 units. Good luck, Dan
