Anyone know if Der Kuenstler is okay? His YouTube channel has disappeared. I really enjoyed his videos.

You can use Super Clean degreaser to remove paint from messed up paint jobs. You can buy this at any auto parts store. It comes in a purple container. Just put them in a jar, shake it up a little, and let it sit overnight. Works amazingly well.

Low humidity is key. Also, some of the paints the GI Joe uses are easier to work with than others. But they are all workable. Another key is to prime the pieces with the gray primer. This helps the paint adhere better. Practice makes perfect. Use the Super Clean degreaser when you make a booboo.

I’m curious as to how many people use Airfix/Italerie/Revell/etc 1/72 infantry units in their games. I used to be against this preferring the OOB units, but I have spent a small fortune over the last week buying different sets on eBay to add “spice” to the game. Bottom line is I’m having fun researching the sets and also learning more WW2 history as I go. It’s amazing the detail some of these infantry pieces have! Has anyone else been bit by this bug?

I noticed in a YouTube video today from hilltop pillbox that the board they were playing on had nation specific chips. Green for USA, yellow for UK, gray for Germany, red for Russia, etc.

Does this help in any way? Does it make each nation’s forces easier to see on the board? Does it keep someone from accidentally “cheating” when doing a random chip out?

Has anyone ever made a small set of convoy dice? A “1”, “2”, “3”, and blanks for 4,5,6. Let me know if you know of anyone that sells this or any ideas to make my own.

We always play the the Larry Harris 1942 setup. I notice here that it shows an update from Greg Smorey and Kevin Chapman. Looks like one extra uboat and one extra German tank in Libya. Is this setup approved by Larry Harris?

@azpathfinder
I’m thinking of printing this map. It looks great. What material did you use?

@trenacker
I’ve been painting some pieces the last two weeks. I’m having trouble with Rustoleum Lemongrass for the UK. The paint doesn’t apply very well. I use Eden for USA, French blue for France, rustic orange for Japan, flat gray for Germany. Lemongrass is just a pain for whatever reason.

I agree with Triple A X Ray.  Seems like this power rating chart doesn’t take a lot of variables into account.
