So, yeah – did a lot of browsing and even some thinking too…

I’ve decided to go 28mm – Warlord Games has a lot of great starter-packs I can buy to get a head-start on a couple of armies, and my surroundings and myself have terrain and stuff for Warhammer and 40K – so that would make starting this project a bit cheaper and quicker.

I’m thinking of buying a few starter armies from Warlord, compare them to what is actually needed to make squads for the Chain of Command system, and get the missing bits and pieces on a ‘need to get’-basis.

…and oh my, do they have a lot of starter sets, Warlord.

Now, this is where I need your most needed and valuable input…

They have the grand boxes of whole battles and armies ready to go; ‘Battle for Berlin’, ‘Ham and Jam’ and ‘Beachhead Assault’. Including a bit of terrain and stuff.

They also have X-points starter armies (500-1000p) for the different nations.

And the rest, a squad here, some artillery there…

I plan to get a German, British, Soviet and American force ready for play…just to have the basics down.

Any input and advice of how I would go about getting a good start and what would be sensible to start out with buying to get started?

All thoughts are much appreciated…
