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.

How do you get on playing without a hex map? How do you deal with movement?

Please do no include large pictures inline in the messages. Linking to external pictures is fine.

for movement were kind of doing battletech mini rules. 1inch = one hex and for firing we double the distance 2inch for every 1hex. soo 8hex long range is now 16inches. Its working out really well alot better then the maps starter kits come with. Line of sight just if you can see the target you can hit it. if your in a hills double cost for movement if your in them and you get your cover if you make the roll and same with the trees. Need too come up with a better system for roads tho, tape just isn’t cutting it

Last Thursday I played this army:
USA - M1 Garand x3
USA - “Red Devil” Captain
USA - Jeep x2
UK - SMLE No. 4
UK - 6-Pounder Antitank x2
UK - Vickers MG Team
UK - Humber Scout Car x2
USSR - T-34/76Despite my crappy roles during the game I managed to hold on and almost win, despite losing my T-34 to a Tiger-I.
Some key things that I learned during the game were that cover is very important. The Jeeps were useful to get soldiers to the front very fast.
The Humber Scout Cars are good but just don’t leave them out in the open for attack, that’s what makes the strike and fade very useful.
