You left out the blockhouses from D-Day and Marines.

Also British forces in some AAR were lime green and also a weird yellow color.
Actually, I did have the Marines infantry pieces from Pacific, but I did forget to include the blockhouses from D-Day.  I also forgot the trucks from BOTB and the colored AA guns from Guadalcanal.

I have heard about the lime green Brits but not the yellow color.

Great reference knp!  Two things that might improve it:

1. I think I would find it helpful if you labelled the pictures's captions so that we can tell which rows came from which games/ game variants/ era's

2. I could maybe loan you a set of the sea-foam green Brits and a burgundy Russian art piece to round out your sample if you think it would be helpful.
Dr Larsen, that would be great if you could loan me the sea-foam Brits and a burgandy Russian artillery.  I would just need them long enough to snap a couple of pictures then ship them right back to you.  I could put up some new pictures with better information like you suggested and include the pieces I missed (trucks, blockhouses, colored AA guns).  Here is my e-mail:   knp7765@sbcglobal.net   Send me an e-mail and I will give you my mailing address.

IL, since you usually buy truckloads of the A&A games have you seen any more one of a kind pieces like the Italian Matilda or that UK yellow colour?
