• Pardon the dust while the boys rebuild the site.

    The board will be in a state of disarray as I get things sorted out, for a little while at least.

    The new incarnation is using Xenforo as the system software. It is much like what we are used to, with a few differences. I will see about making a FAQ to help point out the differences for the members.

     

    One IMPORTANT difference for all of us old timers is that the 'mail' system is replaced with what are called 'conversations'/

    There is no 'Inbox' or 'Out box' or 'Sent' folders anymore.

    Think of Conversations as private 'threads' or topics that don't exist in a forum, that you start with another member. NOTE: Conversations can include more than one member if you or someone else in the conversaion, likes.
    Takes a little getting used to but I am sure you all can get a hang of it.

     

    Only a slightly modified default default Xenforo style is available for now. Once the new SAG style is ready it will be available.

    All existing users should be able to login with their usernames and passwords once the site goes up.

     

    If anyone has difficulties logging in please contact me at sixthvanguard@gmail.com.

     

    Thank you for your support and patience. I know it has been a loooong road.

    Collecting Questions

    I have pretty much began to limit my collecting and bashing to the Normandy campaign with the 101st, 62nd, 2nd Rangers, Heer and SS units.

    Questions with regards to bashing a 101st figure

    The 101st Airborne Division had helmet markings on their helmets signifying units. I was wondering did any of them say like during D-Day camouflage them with paint or camouflaged helmet covers or parachutes? Are there any photos or evidence of this being done if they did? I was wondering because...

    Did you play with small plastic soldiers when you were a kid

    I did too. At one point I was able to get a bag of soldier from three nations, Germany, Russia and Japan. I had my Marines fight the Japs, and the Germans and Russians square off amongst old blocks to be like Stalingrad. I also had some British soldiers and paratroopers. It helped that my dad an...
