After much, much contemplation I finally gave in and decided to purchase 2 15mm painted armies for 1945. I bought a very nicely painted German one and have dibs on a large Russian one.
The German army arrived today, and....
Nothing was wrapped, everything has damage, chips, broken parts.
Ah, life is fun. So much.....fun.
I received a partial refund and lot's of help online. I'll sell off the parts I don't need as is, and strip the remainder after my move and then send it out to friends.
And now I can use some sleep. What a day.
