I'm not sure about the actual usefulness of these dice but damn, some of them look really cool.

My thought exactly, but these look pretty cool.

Bullet shaped die were a good idea - they were just badly implemented. Metal ones were required

(I'm talking about DVG - just in case there's others out there)

I really like the idea of having the different nationality dice to pull out for each side of a wargame.

Me too. I've bought several of these Tanks sets - Soviet (hammer and sickle in the 6 place), U.S. (American white star), England (roundel), Japanese (Rising Sun icon), and German (Wehrmacht crosses). These help flesh things out though I still want some d6s for the Italians. I might get their French set too, as well as the US Marine set.

The Soviet and German d6s are awesome with Pavlov's House. I'd been wanting these for The Dark Sands and some of my other games in this area, though those are sparse. The English set will go well with my new (to me) copy of Raid on St. Nazaire. Soooo many applications for these.

I'd love to also score some North and South Civil War d6s, but can't find anything here in the States (gee, go figure).

Where do you order yours from?

Amazon, pretty much.

It's both Tanks and Bolt Action d6 dice.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077Z92LW6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IHOUPCI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

One sampling from each company.

Thanks.

I'm surprised that no one sells a big pack containing a few die with each of the country's flags on them.

You might find something like that elsewhere. Maybe Etsy - they're full of surprises with gaming swag.

I bought these on sale from Miniature Market last year. They are perfect for WWII Pacific games.
