FOW - Is this a good deal?

[Tuatara]

This is aimed at the Flames of War folks. I'm looking to buy an army and came across this http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=419602043

Is it any good? It expires while I'm at the club tomorrow (playing FOW with Paul), but if it gets relisted, I might have a go.

Cheers

Maybe. I would find out the cost price of the tanks and see if there is any savings. i think tanks normaly about $70 - 100 a box. so looking at that army 2nd hand i would pay max maybe $200 for this the $250 would be the most i would go you are saving about $100. They do look like they are made ok so if u not keen to make them this might be the way to go.

Not sure how it would play i would ask Monkey.

Tanks are about seventeen dollars a blister so you would be pretty much paying for the tanks and getting the infantry for free so dollar wise is a good deal

As a whole the army would make a pretty good late war Grenadier force with a couple more items or you could easily make a Heavy tank army .... They could also be used to throw together a mid war force

So not a bad deal if .... as Laz says you dont want to assemble anything, and this is the army you want to play.

Germans are a fairly forgiving first army

Thanks for that info guys.

Still not sure which army I'll plump for, but I saw that one for sale and wondered about it.

As for Germans being very forgiving..... the irony is palpable

We can discuss armies in more depth tomorrow if you like, try and find a good fit if you will
