I just bought the anniversary edition of the original Axis and Allies game and want to replace the gaming pieces with something nicer. Can anyone recommend a company that does infantry for all of major war powers in 1/72 or 20mm? Plastic or metal is fine. The game includes USA, Britain, Russia, Germany, Japan, Italy and China.

I should have specified that soft plastics are the only type of mini I don't want to use. Thanks though Mike.

Go back to PSR. Many of the new soft plastics now can be glued and painted just like hard plastic. And they are very cheap and everything is out there or in the pipeline. Buy a set of Caesar Miniatures Germans, they make several, just pick one. Also buy a set of Pegasus Berlin Germans. Then tell me you don't like soft plastic. They are fantastic figures in awesome poses. See many photos of them on my blog. Mike "Bunkermeister" Creek bunkermeister.blogspot.com

You can get away with WW1 Germans for Chinese. SHQ? Nice figures, big range. There are of course bazillions of plastic figures available as above, my preferred medium for 20mm gaming, fleshed out with SHQ, FAA and Platoon 20.

I'm pretty sure 20mm is not normally considered micro-scale.

Caesar Miniatures makes WWII Chinese, so we don't have to substitute anyone for them. I throw in some Orion Boxers to add more militia types. All in 1/72nd scale plastic. Mike "Bunkermeister" Creek bunkermeister.blogspot.com
