EBay has yielded further reinforcements for my growing collection of Axis & Allies Miniatures.
When I bought them, I thought that the large number of machine gun teams were Russians, but they turned out to be Hungarians! This means that my Hungarian army has more machine gunners than any other type of figure. Luckily, if I follow the three-foot rule (i.e., what do they look like from three feet away?), the figures could be almost any soldier in a helmet … and I will treat them as such.
Another advantage of aging, the details on small miniatures recede in importance.
ReplyDeleteRoss Mac,
DeleteVery true! As I age and my eyesight becomes poorer, I seem to worry a lot less about detail on my figures and models.
All the best,
Bob
Nice one Bob. "The 3 feet" rule = in my case anything beyond 12inches (30cms for younger viewers)!! Great additions. Carl
ReplyDeleteCarl,
DeleteI must agree that as my eyesight worsens, three foot could easily be replaced by one!
All the best,
Bob
