My friend brought over his extensive and varied collection of 1/72 scale Chinese Warlord troops. Part of it includes the Airfix WW1 tank which was the first model kit I ever assembled at the tender age of 5 or 6! Pictures here: link

Very cool.What do you think of the World Aflame rules? I havent heard much about them.

I really enjoy them, however keep in mind that they are a beer and pretzel rule set -if you love complicated/ detailed they're not for you. They are a simple, fun, fast and straight forward set of old school rules. IMHO you need at least 3-4 players to make it interesting and use the rules to their fullest. As a downside, they do require some paper record keeping -but I think that the rules can be easily tinkered with to fix the problem.

The following was for me the best part of the AAR: "Welcome to artillery support. Your call is important to us. Please hold until we can connect you to the first available battery." I can just imagine what happened when you finally got through… Leland R. Erickson Metal Express metal-express.net
