What!  No, no 25 pounder is a much better choice!  :-D

25 pounder, no doubt. As Iconic as the spitfire.

Although a bishop self propelled gun would be good

I’m in for 1 preorder.

@Imperious:

The Japanese BB should be Kongo Class, so people can make the Yamato into a 5-5 battleship

Interesting idea, though I doubt anyone would bother spending more IPs on a 5-5 unit… perhaps instead Yamato class ships could each roll 2 dice (still 4-4).

In any case, I would like to see a Yamato piece in the set (don’t care if it’s the normal BB or something else).

Thanks for putting this together.

We definately need new molds for everything.  New BBs, new CV, new CA, new DD (maybe even a tiny bit smaller).  This is going to be great.

[Upside-down_Turtle]

The Yamato class already comes w/ AA50.  Although, a new, well detailed one is certainly a good thing.

[Imperious Leader]

yes but they don’t have money to remake every cotton picking warship. Just one is needed and we already got Yamato. its time for something else and new, then we get both this way and not yet another remake of yamato, knowing that in 4 months another yamato will appear and we are stuck with 3 Yamatos. Its ridiculous IMO>

[Upside-down_Turtle]

true that.

The AA50 and AAR Yamatos are pretty much identical.

I was disappointed when I didn’t see P-38s in AA50.  Oh well.  They were kind of clumsy on the carriers anyway.

one of the german infantry should have a panzerfaust to represent volksgrenadier

[Imperious Leader]

Have we been discussing half-tracks enough?  I guess this is a no-brainer for the UK Mech Inf.

[Emperor_Taiki]

i love universal carriers!

[Adlertag]

my god, i will never get this pieces  :-(

[Upside-down_Turtle]

you don’t like universal carriers?  :-P

[Adlertag]

@Upside-down_Turtle:

Has nothing to do with that, my little turtle friend. Only 60 individuals are interested in this new pieces, that will make $ 6000 and that is too short even for one single mold. Why you think FMG have left the thread ?

why are molds so expensive?

FMG better come through on this, although i suggest they save money and do not produce the truck peice which is useless for adding units to the game as it represents nothing. Better yet they could spend the money they saved on cool units like jet fighers.
