@Midnight_Reaper well, i use the 3 pieces of the first image, they serve me well, for that they are.
Now, the system and the mechanics of the game are made for a fast gameplay, and map and combat are more a -ww2 in europe- theme or abstraction, instant of a true 100% historical simulation.
Yes, random dice can by a problem some times, but rock-paper-scissors system can minimice the dice factor. And there are some post-production official optional rules and ideas, i find in the forums, to engance gameplay.
Wen i playtest all options, i can put here, if you want to know, my full opinion on the game.

Actually both of your transports are OOB versions. The bigger transport comes from the 1941 Axis and Allies game, and the other is from the 1940 Pacific game. Both are very attainable. You can buy them from HBG, if they have it in stock. :-)

That’s the dream right there. Looks awesome.

Ya, those are the 1941 OOB Transports… they come in both Japanese Orange and German Black (both from 1941)… and yes, you can get them from HBG, but they are the 1941 OOB transports.
I was using the 1941 transports for both Germany and Japan (I hated the 1940/1942 OOB German transports), but I recently swapped out my German transports for the new German transports that HBG recently released.

Those new German transports are the bomb! :-D

Guys, I decided to set up Oztea’s Global 1941 Setup om my metal map, because it show cases more of the British and America pieces. I only set up the Pacific portion naturally because, I don’t have the complete Europe side of the map done yet, because it is a few years away from being done.
I will take pictures of the Europe US and Pacific pieces, within a couple weeks, so be on the lookout for that.
I hope you enjoy these pictures. :-)

Ok guys, all the focus has been on the Pacific side of the map, but now, it is time to focus on the European side of the world.
I never took pictures of the UK EUROPEAN FORCES, so look for those pictures, soon.
At the end of the year, I will have the US EUROPEAN FORCES, by Spitfire, hopefully, and I will post them, then.
So, look for them, as well. :-)

Very sweet Mr. Brown ! :wink:
Thanks SS!
You, and many others have inspired me to get my set painted, get a map made, and in the process, with help from others, I have learned to paint pieces, as well.
Spitfire did an amazing job on this set.
Thanks for the reply. :-)
