    What does yellow morale signify?

    cowardly

    I guess he’d prefer a country to be occupied and many of its people dead than stay neutral and thus only have to suffer mild restrictions on free trade.

    Well if every country took that stance, we would all either be speaking German of Japanese.

    But the US and UK were not really in danger of being occupied, and the USSR was attacked. Sweden was not

    This is really OFF TOPIC…  but why would Sweden join the Allies if they were powerless to help Finland against the USSR and hopeless in helping Norway against the Germans? The Allies didn’t lift a finger to help Denmark or Poland either!?!?!  Seems like suicide to me for a lost cause (At the time).  In addition Sweden had a great trade deal going with Germany so there was no need to join that side.  I think Sweden made the right decision.

  • I agree. I think the Swedes knew they were on their on if it came to war with Germany.
    The prewar Scandanavian alliance was hopeless.The Czechs/Poles received little aid.The
    States were sitting it out.Who could they trust?
    Back on subject,they would make the best neutral for the game.GHQ and Navwar make
    Hungarian armor.The Toldi 1/2 and Nimrod were all Swedish designs built on licence.The
    Bofors 15CM also.I have the Navwar types and use them for both countries.

    I wanted to use this for the NEW AA Gun re: Bofors 15CM .  It is the only weapon used by all Axis and Allied Nations in the Second World War.

    Thoughts?

    Can you post a picture of what you’re looking at.  When I try to find it I get so many conflicting pictures and 90% of them are artillery and not AA guns.

    Hey cminke,
    I know this is off topic, but I was curious about the quote you have at the bottom of your posts.  I thought that quote was attributed to Joseph Stalin.


  • The Bofors sounds good to me.I can’t think of anything more universal.

  • TripleA '12

    Hey FMG,

    How are things going with the last of the Italian units? What’s the current situation with the Strat Bomber piece? Are you guys working on a scult right now?

    Thank you

    Bofors 15cm sounds fantastic.

    I can only imagine that selecting what you want to sculpt as early as possible will significantly expedite production. And help foresee similarities that may make pieces confusing… in the absence of silhouette charts and magnifying glasses. :-D

    Isn’t a 15cm gun kind of big for anti-aircraft?

    OK didn’t notice that but actually now that you mention it…. that’s HUGE!

    Having one AA for all nations sounds great to me though.

  • If this is it then its not that big?

  • TripleA '12

    It’s weird, but I’m more excited about the upcoming Italy set than I am about Europe 40… Now that’s gotta be saying something!  :-)


  • @Danger:

    OK there’s no way that that pic’s a 15cm gun.

    And that would be the diameter of the barrel between lands (the ungrooved part)… so 150mm… almost 6 inches. Twice the width of a Sherman’s gun and WAY bigger than the dreaded 88.

    Is it bigger than the gun in your avatar?


  • @calvinhobbesliker:

    Is it bigger than the gun in your avatar?

    Yup. You won’t find a 150mm mounted on a MBT.

    Sorry Main Battle Tank.

  • I wonder if FMG was thinking 1.5"… wouldn’t that be (roughly) 37mm?

    Now that would be a candidate for AA.
