You've probably heard of Memoir '44, a popular WWII boardgame from Days of Wonder.

Memoir '44

According to the publisher:

Memoir '44 is a unique historical game where players command a horde of little plastic Army men facing-off in dozens of WWII battles on an oversize hex game board.

Each battle scenario mimics the historical terrain, troop placements, and objectives of each army. Deploying forces through a variety of Command Cards, the smart commander uses the unique skills of his units – infantry, paratroopers, tanks, artillery, commandos and resistance fighters – to its greatest strength.

Easy to learn and fast-paced, Memoir '44 requires strategic card play, timely dice rolling, and an aggressive, yet flexible battle plan to achieve victory!

This game is properly considered a miniature boardgame, even though the plastic models (green for Americans, grey for Germans) are unpainted and not in scale with each other.

I was thinking that the game would look a lot better if the pieces were properly painted, and our friends in Sri Lanka, Fernando Enterprises, agreed to take on the job!

I primed the figures with a white plastic primer, then sent them off to be painted. When the figures returned, I added some flock to the top of their cast-on bases, then sealed everything with clear matte spray.

Don't they look a lot better now?

More to Come!
