Historical Board Gaming’s selection of Europe 1940 French pieces. They also have mechanized pieces, just look under the corresponding nation.
Any v1 mini collectors looking to do a NA swap?

Since most of the units in North Africa are usable by players sticking to the smaller scale, I was curious if any of you have (or have considerd) picking up a a NA case or boosters and would like to trade the larger vehicles (there are smaller ones you should keep though) for some Set I thru 5 units? If this is you, let me know!

My local store seems uninterested in the whole game. They still have some boxes of Base set, eastern front and contested skies. (10-15 of each) and don’t carry starter packs etc. They have not brought in NA at all.
I recently bought out another stores final 8 boxes of eastern front at cost and if I had any money I would do the same with all of the above.
Does the NA set really have vehicles that are not properly sized to the new scheme?

You mean, does NA have units thta look OK with sets 1 through 5?
Well, all the infantry (the US and Russians finally get an MG), all the artillery (and there is a LOT of new cool artilley) and all of the planes are fine. As for vehicles, it’ll be a minority so you’d want to trade away most.
I think most if not all of the arnoured cars would be OK. The Italian Autoblinda is a great unit stats-wise. The Germans get a Jeep (the Kublewagon) that would be OK. Same for the Motorcycle half-track. I think even some of the assualt guns (like the Wespe) would be acceptable, as I recall the sIG was pretty big to start with.
I haven’t laid them all side-by-side, but I’ll se what I can do and maybe take a picture or something.

Mot,
Just to clarify, you want to keep vehicles from sets 1-5.
Are there ones from NA that you don’t want and would like older pieces instead? I’ve got lots so ask if I’ve got what you want.
