Best prices for miniatures purchase?

@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.

WotC - Wizards of the Coast (makers of AAM)

FoW, WotC, Old Glory, Peter Pig, Plastic Soldier company, Skytrex, Zvesda and Gaming models all make 15mm WWII miniatures……and Ive built them all.

@spideyfan:

so just to be clear, Do the units of the various sets overlap? is there a chance for example that I get a booster for early war and i get a unit that is also in another booster pack like the desert one of the 39-45 one?

Yes you are correct. For example the Morris Armored car is in both Early war and NA. You can review sets here: http://www.tintirinti.com/search_AAM.aspx

@Raptor99:

Okay thx for your reply guys.

I thought, that u can upgrade your army in those a&a BOARD games.

So the miniature game is different and u cant use those boosters on the board game?

Or can u?
Because i think it would be pretty nice to upgrade those “normal and boring” standard-units for example tigers and shermans for example.

That’c really cool.

bump to the top

Bought a contested sky booster yesterday and I’d call what I got a carpark pull.

I got a Puma (which I allready love, despite not having played it yet)

… a Katusya (how do you use this whitout a spotter? 1/1 defence!)

and that japanese armored car (which is either off-scale or was freaking huge in real)

This was my first contested sky booster so no double’s or tripples or quadrippels (I bought about 6 base pack boosters and now I’ve got five 6-pounders… :S )

@Rebel:

So… is this board basically dead? I mean D-day was about 5 sets ago. Anyone really around here anymore, or has everyone gone to the Forumini and Underground?

this post is dead and buried. Most people go to formini now. Much more traffic.

Definitely go with 2 starter sets a few boosters if possible.  I would try and stick with the base set until you’re happy with the quantity of pieces you have.  Infantry can be more effective for you when you have units in quantity to choose from.  I’ve been playing Axis & Allies for almost 20 years and find this version most enjoyable.  I could never get into those war games that come with a book and pieces of paper for pieces, nor did I have the patience for painting GHQ miniatures.  I find Axis & Allies Miniatures to be a  compromise that fits for those who feel the same as I do, but want more detail in Axis & Allies itself.
