tankguy,
Might I suggest a forum to visit for wargamers that you can find loads of info on. It's free to sign up as a member and they have forums for every era of history you'd be interested in, including a forum specifically for 12mm wargaming which is about 1/144 scale. There is so much available out there, you'd be surprised.
