Having done a count-up of the playing pieces in my recently acquired copy of the AXIS AND ALLIES: SPRING 1942 board game, I decided to do the same with my copy of AXIS AND ALLIES: BATTLE OF THE BULGE. Here is the list of contents:
- 46 Artillery (4 British, 18 US, 24 German)
- 48 Infantry (4 British, 20 US, 24 German)
- 32 Tanks (4 British, 12 US, 16 German)
- 4 Bombers (1 British, 2 US, 1 German)
- 12 Fighters (3 British, 6 US, 3 German)
- 18 Trucks (12 US, 6 German)

I've got some of the A&A games - even an early edition going back to 1987. We used to add 1/72 Esci figures to the batch for variation.
ReplyDeleteI am curious to learn what you come up with for the pieces outside of the regular A&A context. Looking forward to seeing more posts on the subject.

I have a box of such pieces and have used them for playtesting various games including WD's 'Sturmstaffel'.
ReplyDeletePaul Leach,
ReplyDeleteI am not quite sure what I am going to use the playing pieces for, although they could easily be used with my Heroscape hexed terrain to fight a 'big battle' version of 'Memoir '44'.
All the best,
Bob
Tim Gow,
ReplyDeleteI must admit that the aircraft models did strike me as having potential for a tabletop air combat game.
If I get a chance, I will try to read the Sturmstaffel rules as they will probably give me some ideas as to how to use these lovely little models.
All the best,
Bob
