How do you play the WWII boardgame? * plastic pieces
* painted plastic pieces
* painted metal minis
* I don't play that game |

plastic pieces. Never get around to painting. |

I've played it with the unpainted plastic pieces that come with it. I don't understand why anyone would paint the pieces that come in a board game. A tabletop war-game is different; you are creating a diorama with figures and terrain in which everything is to scale. |

Plastic pieces that came with it. Though I've played one game at the WWII museum run by a teenager, he made hex terrain about 4 inches across, painted metal minis, etc. Really looked good. |

Plastic pieces mainly, but I have played it on my 4x3 board with 90mm hexes with my 20mm collection.

Painted plastic figures and models on a Hexon board. Mostly Airfix. |

I've played with the original plastic figures on the game board and with 20mm figures on Hexon II terrain. It works well with both. |

20 mm painted minis on hex mat. |

As is from the box. Too much else in need of painting to paint these. |

All three but in different aspects. The plastic thst came with the game. I have also started painting them. The metal however, is from Warmachine. |

I did it with 54mm plastic figures and tanks with some paper tanks thrown in… I created the board with offset squares instead of hexes. I also did one of the Overlord scenarios too, it ate up a lot of room. |

Basic plastic that comes with the set. |

Straight-out-of-box plastic. I don't understand why anyone would paint the pieces that come in a board game. I do understand. For instance, I'm collecting Star Trek Tactics ships to spice up Fleet Captains, as it means I don't have to paint. '44 would be worth painting, but as others said, you'd kind of want to up the terrain, as well. Doug |

Reluctantly. The game feels too much like a fancy version of Stratego for my tastes. |
