I started in 1973 with Avalon Hill's Richthofen's War.

I'm 63 but I wouldn't be surprised at all if the average was in the upper 40's or low 50's.

Looks like Diagnosis: Murder to me, but Dick had a stash in the series.

I can't speak for the game, but what you posted, 220 ft AGL is exactly what you describe.

22,000 feet is FL 220, not 220 AGL.

Check here if you'd like to see a ton of 1/6 scenes shot outdoors.


Wow! Where was all this stuff when I was a kid? I mostly remember 1:48, 1:35, 1:76, 1:72, and 1:285. This is like a World War II buff's dream! Especially liked the Operation Varsity photos. :D


Indeed. I enjoyed GI Joe in ...

It's a very old wargame.

Those look very nice, though the gun barrel on the closer one appears to need a bit of straightening.

17.30 for 5 Brads isn't too bad since 5 GHQ 1/285th ones are 13.99.

I totally understand.

There are actually a lot of AFV's in addition to the mechs, but they have a very definite visual vibe that you might like, or might not.

If you like mecha, Heavy Gear mini's are 1/144th.

There are a ton of them, quite varied and good quality.

I don't believe that at all.

The source and the equipment involved is all highly suspect.

Good to see someone point out something positive.

It's a nice change from so much of the 'net.

Wow, Christmas in July!

Thanks for the sackful of presents Neilster!

The irony of that statement on a wargame forum almost made me spit my drink out laughing.

In addition to a very small max threads per day for a new user, they also need to not allow any links until they have 10 posts or something like that.

The spammer that threw up the 3 advertisement topics in General just now has links.

Indeed.

There should also be about a 3 threads started per day maximum to avoid this garbage in the future.

That is fabulous, thanks for posting it.

Happy Independence Day yet again!

The whole CM series.

In 26 years, nothing else has ever come close.

God bless and keep all that made the ultimate sacrifice along with their families.
