It depends on what “work” means – in other words, on whether players would consider a Kursk scenario appealing. Conceptually, Kursk would be similar to A&A D-Day (minus the water) in the sense that the battle was fundamentally a frontal assault on a heavily-defended static position, and similar to A&A Battle of the Bulge in the sense that it would involve ground forces driving into enemy lines, but different from both games in the sense that from the German point of view Kursk was a pincer movement aimed at pinching off a salient, and that from the Russian point of view it was a two-stage offensive-defensive battle. Personally I think it has good potential to make an interesting game, if it’s designed properly.
Historical Board Gaming - New Roundels
-
@CWO:
3. European Minors (Denmark, Belgium, Yugoslavia, Croatia, Sweden, etc)
Great, I’m looking forward to those. One of the “etc.” places for which you might want to include one or two roundels on the sheet is Slovakia, which on the map co-occupies the same territory as Hungary but which I would have preferred to see treated as a separate country. (Ditto for “Holland / Belgium”, so I’m glad to see some Belgian roundels heading our way too.) The Slovak Republic of 1939-1945 was a minor Axis nation, and in fact was the only Axis country besides Germany to take part in the invasion of Poland.
having a Slovakia and Austria would be cool

@Imperious:
I got those, Im talking about specific units that fought on all sides. Perhaps it could be like:
6th Army (Paulus)
3rd Army ( Patton)and those new cards could apply or effect just the armies listed on the card or commanders
Definitely want to see these!
-
maybe something that can represent fortresses ?
-
I kinda like the fortress idea. Make it generic enough to cover multiple time periods.
-
i just think it would be easier to use than a plastic piece. because unlike a plastic piece, your other pieces can be placed on top of it, saving room for your army in a territory
-
good idea. Fortress for sure
-
Definitely would like to see bunker-like token. Maybe that’s just because I would rather buy a finished product versus make my own from PhotoShop, doublestick tape and old control markers :wink: Been having a heck of a time finding these on the cheap!
-
also the rest of the naturals would be nice like Yugoslavia, Greece and the middle eastern countries
-
My support behind the neutrals idea.
Could you make a card with 1 each of the remaining neutrals represented on the Global 1939 map?
-
S. America or European minors! :-D

I will, released before Christmas!
you mean this will be released before xmas?

I would like to see Tech Tokens…
However, I would also like to see roundels for Japanese puppet states.
-
A fortifications piece would be great. As it is, I make my own but something from HBG would be welcome.
-
What about the Red star for Russia. St.Georges cross for England or stars and stripes for USA. Is there any interest in these. I know we really don’t need them but some may see it as a upgrade.

Siam, Burma, and Manchukuo?

Yes, and maybe just the hell of it, the “Reorganized National Government of China” which was led by Wang Jingwei. There were other puppet states, in Indochina, but map wise and game play, I think they would be unfeasible.

The American and Soviet flag roundels are already available at HBG under HBG Custom Battle Tokens. The Union Jack (UK flag) roundels are also available but not St. George’s Cross (English flag).
