I saw your post sitting so long I registered to give you a few pointers on maps. Most if not all the WotC map packs are themed in some way. Originally they were 2" hexes but were changed some time ago. The map packs you mentioned are themed as follows: North Africa - 3 Desert maps and on reverse side 3 jungle maps. Eastern Front - 3 town/factory maps and on the reverse side 3 Russian steppes maps. There are two starters, the one in the cardboard box is the old one and contains 12mm mini’s and 2" hex maps. the new starter is in a blister pack and has 15mm mini’s and 3" hex maps. The maps in the new starter are mixed forest/hills/clear. The rules and revised cards are downloadable through the WotC site.
Quite a miniatures collection for $100

Guys, first time poster here.
I’ve been a long time A&A fan, especially the Naval Miniatures. About 13 years ago, I was offered a giant lot of A&A miniatures (many many hundreds of pieces, maybe 500 pieces if not more) for a whopping 100 bucks.
There’s a ton of stuff, everything from an ME-262, to a King tiger, a few Tiger 1’s, a few SS Panther’s, Shermans galore, tons of stuff. Even a Higgins boat landing craft.
I had never played, and to this day I have yet to play. I have kept them around because I desire to learn and play, but I also realize that players are few and far between these days, in general.
I’m wondering what to do with all of it. I know these have retained value over the years. There is the potential for sale but I’m not sure yet. Keep it and take the time to learn/find other players or move it on to someone who already has that foundation in place?
I will post pictures tomorrow potentially, there’s a lot of units here to separate by nation.

@RisingSun I had similar experience, I was big into the naval miniatures but couldn’t afford both. I bought a lot on ebay a year or so ago and have played a few games. It is not difficult to learn especially if you are familiar with the navy side, it’s pretty similar but includes facing. I think it’s a great game and wish I had collected it some when it was active.
