The G40 Waffen-SS Assault Pioneer unit rule is now available at the top of pg. 1 on the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion thread.
If you could choose any TWO new unit sculpts, what would they be?
-
Which nation(s) would it belong to and would it be a new type of unit or just a cosmetic change?
Personally, I’d love to see the B-29 Superfortress and the Churchill Tank as alternate styles for the USA and UK!
-
German E-Series Tanks, and the Flying wing.
-
Oh yeah, the Flying Wing would be sweet.
-
Vought Corsair and MkIV Panzer(G or H).
Churchill nice idea Garg. -
-
The me 262 would be cool or the nebelwerfer. Did I spell that right?
-
1. French Char B1 tank so I don’t have to use that stupid blue T34
2. British Sikh infantry wearing turbans for UK Pacific
or one of these:
-
Light Carriers or Escort ‘Jeep’ Carriers ( CVL or CVE)
Fortification or Fortress unit
-
TIGER Tank for Germany
Char B-1 for France or Carro for Italy
-
Concen… I mean… Labour camps.
POW’s…
Research Facilities.
Spies!
Radar!
-
Nukes
Banzai Infantry
-
I think that every nation would benefit from having two new infantry sculpts.
I know that the old ones are iconic, but jeez let’s live a little!
-
Heavy Infantry (with bazooka or heavy machine gun)
-
Conscripts (standing straight with rifle on shoulder; no action pose)
The current infantry sculpts are actually pretty dopey when you think about it:
German guy looks like he’s got ADD, can’t even concentrate on where he’s walking.
British / ANZAC dude looks like he’s a hunchback, or constipated.
US fella looks like he cocking a shotgun, not holding a rifle.
Italian paisan looks like he’s too lazy to aim his weapon: maybe it’s too heavy to lift?
Chinese and Frenchmen at least have the decent ‘sentry’ pose I’m proposing for the conscript unit, though they’re not remotely active looking.
Only the USSR figure, with his sub-machine gun, looks vaguely menacing, and even he looks like he’s hugging his gun rather than aiming it.
So… yeah. More infantry sculpts. Please?

Not a comment for a new sculpt really… but I never really liked that all US fighters are P-38s. I know it is different for some versions, but overall this seems to be the case.
I always felt that the primary unit sculpt for each power should be representative of the most popular or populated class-type. Even though it is cool, and pretty recognizably American, there were more single fuselage fighters built than twin fuselage. In terms of popularity and production I think P-51s, P-47s, P-40s or even F6Fs rank higher than the P-38. Much as I love it, I don’t see it as the representative US fighter of the war.
Same goes for US carriers… Wasp! Seriously? Essex should be the sculpt hands down. If not that, then certainly Yorktown.
Wasp was underpowered, undersized and underarmored compared to all other US fleet carrier classes, plus there was only one ship in the class. -

Well, yes, if any one carrier is “representative” it would be Enterprise… but Enterprise was Yorktown class.
