@toblerone77:

Ohh good question Yavid. Im really interested in the pieces as a separate purhcase.

We are addressing that so people do not pass on the game and only buy the pieces. We will work something out.

You know Coach I would buy your boxed games for not just pieces. Especially plan Orange. I missed out on kickstarter for Amerika due to finances, but I will be buying the game, maybe several copies, when it comes out. A map and pieces package for the new Global map would be great. I’d honestly love to see you guys be the next great American war gaming company.

@knp7765:

Maybe the guys at HBG could design little city pieces similar to the ones in Fortress America. Except these would have little tiny landmarks distinguishing each city:
Washington DC with a little capital building and Washington Monument
Moscow with a little Kremlin
Paris with a little Eiffel Tower
London with a little Big Ben
San Francisco with a little Golden Gate Bridge
Berlin with a little Reichstag
Rome with a little Coliseum
Honolulu with a little Pearl Harbor
I am not familiar enough with the rest of the Victory Cities architecture to note famous landmarks there. I do know that Tokyo is next to a big volcano, Mt. Fuji I believe.

I’d be interested in providing the 3D models for these if HBG or someone else had interest in making them, and if there was demand from the community. Just a thought, respond to this thread or send me a PM if there is interest.

Edit: I’ve started a thread to discuss this topic here: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=33379.0

And with that news, I just had to order another 3 Jap expansion sets, for a total of 6.
The thought of having only 6 of HBG’s Japanese subs & destroyers instead of 12 was killing me.
MUST replace everything OOB with HBG…

QC Issues? Did some pieces need to be re-cast or something?

[georgemak1]

Im sorry to hear that coach, hope everything is fine

[protevangelium]

I see the “Rails and Industry” expansion set being considered for production.

What would hypothetically be in this set?

The factory will re-run all the bad pieces but we are going through them and still producing sets. They are shipping out slowly, please bare with us.
We are shipping out some every day, just slower than I would of liked.

Rules for Trains, train miniature, armored trains, factories, cities, etc

Got my Japanese Expansion Set yesterday…

The pieces are excellent. Sculpts look wonderful, they are quite crisp and very detailed. Only have good things to say about them. Definitely the best so far. Keep it up guys.

While they are all great, my favorite piece is the Nagara. It is a unique and interesting ship which looks distinctive and beautiful. Best formed pieces are the Vals… incredibly smooth and even, they have no flaws.

I am sure you will… they are well worth the wait.

I just noticed on the website that the Axis Minor 2 Set shows and lists a Panther being in the set, however, the detail pictures still show a Tiger.

I am assuming that the Panther is the actual unit included…

Yes, and if you look at the list of pieces, it says there are two transports, but when you look at the pictures of the whole Axis Minor set, it does not show the transports, so I’m not sure. :?
