Historical Board Gaming Russian Set

[KOOLHOVEN]

The SU2 looks good too.This will be a good set!

[GoSanchez6]

Hey Variable do you know if this is all the pieces? Is there going to be a infantry piece and artillery piece? Thanks for the info. BTW this looks like the best set so far.

[HBG]

Yes, list is on first post.

[Lunarwolf]

any word on what the front runners are for the french pieces? also wanted to ask if a cruiser can be added the 1939 set up needs 3 and OOB 1940 only has 2

@knp7765:

These will be available in both the OOB Maroon color and the Burgandy color of FMG’s Soviet Combat Dice?

@Variable:

Russian set will actually be done in 4 colors. G40 OOB (black-cherry color), maroon from Europe 41 (1999 ed), red for Communist Chinese, and plum (purple) for Spanish Republic. Of course, you can use the 4 colors any way you wish!

Will the planned red colour for the HBG Soviet pieces closely match the FMG red Soviet Combat Dice?

Probably not. It will likely be a bit brighter than that. We will know for sure once color swatches have been approved.

“Coach”,

Back on Jan. 26 I asked if you planned to release some Russian Airborne Paratroopers in a future set. I looked back over the postings but didn’t see your response.

I realize you’re busy working on the CURRENT Russian set and this would be in a FUTURE set, but I just wanted to know. Thanks for your time.

“Tall Paul”

[HBG]

Yes, I plan on doing an Airborne unit for all major nations.

[Tall Paul]

“Coach”,

Great! “Death from the Sky” is a definate (future) possibility for all nations.
I’m very much looking forward to having this capability in my global-40 games.

Thanks for your time and all of your work thus far.

I ordered some pieces from Coachs site and I noticed he has the sculpts of Russia up on his site. BTW the pieces I ordered are great Coach. I didn’t know if you guys knew this. Coach any idea when these will come out. Thanks again

[Variable]

Thanks for the compliments! And yep, we know the pic is there. That’s the latest sculpts with a few close up pics. This is what they look like before they are plastic. I will let Coach give a current due date on the set as he is the one in contact with the factory. Neutrals are due out next.

[georgemak1]

Wow they look great. Im really looking forward for that set, marvelous job coach.

[DFWSupertrooper]

Absolutely beautiful.  Can’t wait!!

[Variable]

Latest spy photos from the factory test. Test color is olive. No, they’re not making Russians in olive ala AA41  :-D

[Variable]

Side angles…

[lozmoid]

Very nice! Especially the vehicles. I take it the tank turrets don’t move? I don’t about the rest of you but the infatry’s helmet looks slightly the wrong shape to me. Could just be my eyes though.

At least the turret of the T-34 is in the wrong position, so I guess they will be movable or the finished product will have it in the correct position.

[knp7765]

Oh yeah, the T-34 is facing backwards. Well, so far Coach’s tanks do NOT have moveable turrets, although they are molded as a separate piece for better detail, then snapped into place. I’m sure Coach will have them correct that error before the final product is made.

[cminke]

in pic #2 it is not however…soo…i say maybe that one is moveable
