Miniatures question

[verdantgreen]

My gaming group plays Crossfire fairly regularly (love that game!). We've traditionally played European Eastern Front, though recently I bought enough troops to make two complete armies: American Marine Corps and Imperial Japanese.

I convinced my group to play with this front by suggesting the idea of leading into each game with a game of Victory at Sea to decide the specific parameters of the scenario. That is to say, if Kongo shells Henderson field during VaS, then the Americans will suffer naval artillery fire at the beginning of the Crossfire scenario.

Anyway, here is my question. To fully sell my boys on this one I need fairly cheap miniatures. I would like to buy into Wizards of the Coast's Axis and Allies naval miniatures game but the current set is out of print and hard to find. Do any of you know of a trustworthy online store that sells sealed booster cases? I would ask on the A&A boards but work won't let me visit that site. Thanks in advance!

Your best bet is probably to find an online store that sells singles and buy exactly the ones you are after.

Ebay stores , singles available and booster cases.

I play VaS with A&A WaS minis.

While I picked up two cases of boosters from my FLGS, in order to round out my fleets I found the following two vendors were the best source for singles in North America (if you are in Europe, then I have no idea what to tell you):

Cool Stuff Inc. and GameRocket.net.

Not sure what they have available anymore, as I completed my fleets last October/November and haven't checked them in a while. There will be a new A&A WaS expansion around July I believe, with about 30 new ships and 30 old (That was the stated plan about 6 months ago, once again my information here is old and could be sketchy). Hope this helps. 8)

Thank you for the replies folks! I'm not seeing any booster cases on eBay stores - any chance someone in the know could provide a link?

There are tons of singles on ebay. Just try searching on axis and allies war at sea. That way you can get exactly what you want.

Again, thank you for the help. I found the list that was linked. I was asking about booster cases. It looks like cases are pretty much gone, at least until the next set comes out. Hmmm...I'll have to check the calendar and see if that will line up with our next campaign.
