"With all the talk about budgets and building units, I am wondering if you guys have your vehicles do double duty."
Redleg,
I can only do one Country at a time. In the past I have done most of the major players but if I started to collect a few different Country's bits of kit the older nation was normally sold off at a loss to help pay for the next.
A very ineffective way of doing things I know.
Even my imagi-nations will normally follow a real nations TOE.
Balzac was based on the Swedish army, that is now all gone.
Yer Bouti is based on Iranian equipment (a very big list to play with) luckily I did not get into trying to complete units as it looks like it is about to morph into something new!
When (not if) YB changes it will be modeled on a real nations TOE and I will build close to that. Unit names and camo may be different but equipment and organization will be studied and generally followed.
It's not 100%, I may not find the IFV etc I need so would use a close stand in, or there may be something that I just have to have.
I am with you on owning the pewter for claiming what you have.
If not you may as well use pen and paper and save a lot of cash. I like to stay in one scale as well, ok ships I'll push out to 1/350 but that's just me.
Having re looked at some mirco naughts last week I'm not going to even try to go that small.

I do use my gaming figures for my Imagi-nation. I have painted some in the camo wanted for the imagination. I have mixed vehicles of nations for the CoC. I have more vehicles than I declare for the CoC. I have ships and planes. Some ships are 1/2400, some are 1/350 or similar or kit-bashed to serve in that scale. I do not have real nukes or real 120mm rounds, torpedos, etc::: just want you to know. (hope that is ok).
.
I also kit-bash for some vehicles such as Jagd-Abrams, Bradley M2A4, etc., as a few examples.
