As someone who has been trying to build up his collection, I'd buy that in a minute at $200 US. So, yeah, considering how hard it is to buy inexpensively, I'd say you got a great deal.

A little thin on the USA & USSR but overall it looks pretty good. I would say you got a pretty good deal there.
Are the vehicles v1 or v2 or a healthy mix of both scales? I do see some of both scales in your lists. They all play the same,just different sizes is all. The 2 88's for the Germans are very nice pieces, the Gunshield model is quite nice to have.
Enjoy, overall I would say a good value deal you got!

As a UK based gamer I think the original owner must have favoured the British and Commonwealth scenarios in Europe, North Africa and far East...
Maps are my week point but I am thinking of recovering the games table and drawing on a 3" hex grid to use with 3D terrain.
There are both larger and smaller vehicles. I was wondering why but now you have said V1 and V2....did they rescale the game or something?

And you got a steal. “Cheap” infantry is $1 apiece, and you got a ton of that. Even just the soldier, non-artillery pieces are probably worth what you paid. Vehicles are worth far more.

It was in a Charity shop, I think you call them thrift stores in the U.S.A. They were asking £120 but they accepted the £100 to free up shelf space.

Iclmopar's post made me tally them.
There are 702 units (not including some that are either damaged or possibly modded) works out to 14p a unit...that is about 18 cents for each unit!....

They are in a binder so I assume that all the other cards were either discarded or lost as they collected them.

That definitely makes it sweeter. If you find you are missing any cards be sure to check out the card exchange or PM me, I have a few AAM orphan cards.
