Getting Out of Axis & Allies Minis = Cheap Models

After spending much time, energy, and many resources on the game I am now getting out of Axis & Allies Minis. I will keep a few items for display purposes but am getting rid of 99% of my stuff. I am keeping all my War at Sea but not my regular AAM.

Therefore all of you lucky readers get the chance to pick up items at good deals. I am more than happy to do trades for War at Sea Set 2 items (or the rare WAS Set 1 item). But, I’d really like to sell the items. Contact me privately and we can work out a deal for whatever you want.

The list below shows everything I have. I have a lot of Reserves set. The list is in order by set and in each set the list goes in order of the checklist. I didn’t include the number for the model. I only list the Quantity, Name, and Rarity. C = Common, U = Uncommon, R = Rare. You can search for certain items by clicking Edit in your web browser and then clicking on Find. Type the name of what you’re looking for and it’ll take you directly to that item.

This is the perfect time to stock up on models for when AAM 1939-1945 North Africa and Eastern Front come out.

Axis & Allies Miniatures: North Africa

Axis & Allies Minis North Africa is the newest set to appear at a gaming store near you on March 28, 2008. The set is part of the 1939-1945 revised series that Wizards created for the game. 1939-1945 issued some fixes for the game including a larger size tank, which puts the tanks more correctly in scale with everything else from the game. The new set is North Africa, which issues units from the famous North Africa Campaign.

If you’ve ever wanted to be the Desert Fox or thought you could destroy the Afrika Korps this expansion is your chance. The set is composed of 60 pre-painted durable plastic models including the German 88 and British Matilda tank.

Be sure to read the North Africa 1939-1943 FAQ before you buy the set. It answers all your questions covering rules changes. Additionally, you’ll want to pick up the North Africa 1940-1943 Map Guide. Long time AAM players will likely have the Advanced Rules and this map guide is very similar. It features three new double sided hex maps and two new scenarios.

Inside No Quarter #15 Nov. 07

Wondering if the new No Quarter is worth purchasing? The table of contents below tells you what issue #15 covers. There’s great terrain articles in the form of Terrain: Staging the Battle plus a worthy look at the future of Warmachine by Matt Wilson.

Over 90 pages of Privateer Press goodness all for just $5.99 plus a great special offer for a limited edition Eiryss. You need issues 14, 15, and 16 for the Eiryss model. Decide for yourself but issue #15 is the worst No Quarter I’ve read. I waited 5 months for it because a customer at my FLGS buys 6 copies of every issue. Due to that the store didn’t have one for me, all I ask for is one issue of this and one of WD, and the store couldn’t get a back issue. I had to wait for Privateer Press to have it on their website where I paid my $5.99 plus shipping, how it killed me to pay shipping, and when it arrived it was crap. To make sure it wasn’t just me I conferred with friends who regularly play Hordes and Warmachine. They confirmed that issue #15 is craptastic. Therefore, CWF is giving it the Avoid At All Costs award.
