I had to buy two more starter sets to replace the 6 Assault Tripods and 6 tanks lost by Canada Post and will have some surplus items from them to trade:
2 sets of templates and markers
2 Small rule books
3 Infantry units
1 Rough Rider Unit
1 Assault tripod head and weapons sprue (to trade for a Scout head sprue)
Assuming they don't get lost in shipping I'll have them in a week.
I need 3 Drones and 3 Sniper Drones (though I doubt anyone can spare the latter), 1 unit of Loboton Slicers, 1 of Fleeing Humans, a Scout tripod head sprue, and 2-3 Flivvers (canvas or open topped).

I think I have a spare Scout Head sprue, but I am in the UK. Let me know if you want me to look for it

Please do! I've not had any luck getting a trade on this side of the Atlantic.

There are some vendors out there with flivvers, I'll see if I can find my listing for them. Unfortunately, Amazon pulled their entire range of AQMF figures within days of the AD problem surfacing - they had a nice listing up till then with reasonable discount & free shipping in US if you were a Prime customer (at $35+ is free I should note).

Still a few UK vendors with stuff but shipping to the states would be expensive

Yep - I've found a few USA vendors with stuff, but the supply is growing short - hopefully this winter storm we're about to get will allow me to get some orders end at months end. Cold Wars 2016 is just around the corner (March 4-6th) and I hope to be able to see some of the firms selling alternative AQ stuff there. Or at least, their USA vendors. Nice convention with over 2000 folks and 100+ vendors, so we'll see.

As I am in Australia this may not be helpful but if you can't find the drones (both types), civilians and slicers, for you I have spares.Sadly I too have a surplus of starter set bits, so would be looking for something else. At best I am probably a last resort but the offer is there.
For ordinary Flivvers I use Zvezda 1/100 ZIS 5 Trucks. They are plastic and should be less than $5 each. (I have got them delivered to Aus from Germany or Russia for less than that)

Thank you a very kind ofter & welcome to the forum as well!
For flivvers I've taken to using the Soviet ZiS 5 & ZiS 6 trucks offered through Old Glory tab True North tab WWII tab Russian. I usually cover the ZiS 6 'armored' flivver windows with hatches or just plastic card stock to maintain the armor flivver look - however you could mount HMGs in each window to make a HMG truck! For the flatbed I tab WWII tab Polish for the Polisky-Fiat 621 truck, with it drop down sides, makes a great basis for a gun truck using the tab Command Decision tab World War II tab Weapon Packs for the guns. Note that the Fiat 621 figure comes with an MG also. All of the above with the Old Glory Army membership ($50 for 1 year) comes in at 40% off, so the three trucks mentioned above are only $5.40 each for metal figure.
As an aside, the HMG flivver comes in at 15+10+10+10+10 = 55pts each and should be allowed 'independent' firing for all those. You could also put a prone LMG on the roof to make it a really complete support vehicle, kicking the total up to 60pts as the LMG is RF 2 only (Lewis mg). See the Old Glory True North Belgian or Hungarian Heavy Weapons for that figure. Or use Eurekas Wake Island Marines prone boyd ATgun figure.

Thanks for the info.
I've been tracking ebay sales in the US, Canada and UK and have got several models I needed. The AQotMF stuff disappeared from Amazon.ca too. I've got more items from declining stocks in on-line gaming stores.
In the last 24 hrs I got some Sniper drones and a Slaver. The Slaver popped up on ebay after I logged on last night, along with a Veteran Tripod kit; I considered the latter but don't like the model's amour. It was sold soon after I bought the Slaver.
I have several WWII Russian Gaz trucks by PP and FoW but consider them too small for AQotMF. Are the Zvezda trucks closer in size to the flivvers? I have a source for more flivvers but was hoping to trade for rather than buy them. I might be able to trade or sell my surplus stuff to the local gamers who are into AQotMF at our next club meeting.

Yes, the FoW and PP are 'true' 15mm scale - too small. The Zvezda plastic ZiS 5s (ZVE 6124) is 1:100. AQ is about 1/92. The Old Glory lines, being a 'large 15' ei 18mm are right on scale to AQ - as noted, they were the original infantry manufactor of the AQ figures. So I find the Blue Moon and True North to be right on for scale. I've had comments that some of the Command Decision are a little small, but the weapon packs look fine; I've not tried any crew or sitting figures from them yet. Hopefully this helps your decision making. I'm not nearly the modeller you are so I try to limit the amount of work I've got to do to use other figures - but, OG Is AQ figures, makes it the easiest.

Command Decision models appear to be 'true' 15mm. A member of the historical wargaming club bought mostly CD versus FoW models and they appear to be the same size as FoW - too small for AQotMF.

Gads that is disappointing - hope it wasn't 'my fault' as I thought all of Old Glorys lines were 'oversized 15s'. I'm still waiting on my order for the variuos CD stuff I ordered (sigh)- looks like I'll be going into 15mm human AQ sooner than I'd planned. At least I know the True North stuff is the 'right' size, but now I'm bummed that all those weapon packs are wasted  |
