26.03.2023I started playing with micro-armor back in 1975 at a hobby shop in Anaheim, CA. We used rules by a guy named John Reynolds. Those rules eventually hit the market in the late 70s, but I cant remember the actual name of the rules when they hit the commercial market. Anyhow, I finally painted a set of Sherman's this week after a 45+ year break. It is great to be back.

19.09.2022I have 1 6mm panzer iv I got for 5 dollars at a yard sale their was alot more of them some black/greyish and others where Tan. Had half tracks as well but I only had enough for 1 tank wish I was able to get them all. They are older GHQ models from.the 80's at least I was able to get 1 of them.

30.07.2022I hope you hven't been storing them like that. You'll bend their barrels all to heck. I'd recommend getting something like GHQ's Bunker Boxes. CinC used to have something like 'em. The people I used to game with (last century) always stored their miniatures in them without bending the barrels all over the place. Even if we had to transport them each time we gamed.PS. We gamed in 2/185 scale (I've seen it called 6mm.)Bu-u-u-ut, we had one helluva lot of fun.Ooops, a final question, what do you do now, during this Pandemic?

10.05.2022Thank you for returning to roots. I am so tired of fantasy WWII games such as Bolt Action and Flames of War. We didn't have money sink companies. We researched our own OOB and painting. Rules that were realistic. Still alive and well at HMGS conventions.

10.05.2022Vehicles are 1/285 scale (aka 6mm), I prefer it. Lots of different rulesets at this scale for WW2, Modern and SciFi on Wargame Vault and other sites.

09.05.2022I played Flames of War for the longest time until sadly I had to sell it to pay bills. War miniature games are always fun.

09.05.2022I bought tons of the GHQ Miniatures years ago and painted a lot of them. of course the tigers gray with a little white for snow, the Russians brown or Green.
Pzkwgn IV & Panthers base yellow with a little green n red….
And hundreds maybe, still unpainted and many still unopened in the original packages.
I think next month they have to come to the table…..

09.05.2022Love it Rob! I spend hundreds of dollars on micro armor back in the day… still have all of it too. GHQ, C-N-C, ROS and Heroics, bought all of it. I used the Mein Panzer rule set by ODGW , that I found to be wonderful. I hope more people get interested in micro armor. Thanks for an awesome segment!

09.05.2022what scale were those warships? They look small for 1/2400 scale so I assume smaller than that (?) but I couldn't quite tell…thanks for the video.
