HBG's expansion/supplement sets.

@squirrelfox:

It’s awesome to have that ability to buy up a few pieces here and there to fill out sets, as well as getting scores of new pieces to really take the game to the next level.

I quite agree.  The most specialized thing I’ve ever requested (as part of a larger order which contained several sets of pieces) was a single infantryman of a particular type in a particular colour.  As a matter of fact, it arrived yesterday, with the rest of the stuff I’d ordered.  This kind of ordering flexibility is very much appreciated, and extremely useful.

Post a picture of your piece mark!

I’d personally like to see more modern pieces like Table Tactics did in the new colors.

Also not to bash on HBG and FMG, I love thier work. I just would like more uniform sets. The Marines set for one is cool but If I don’t have Marines for everyone else it doesn’t do me much good unless maybe I’m playing a Pac Theater game or something.

Sets that have x number of the same classes would make it easier for me to pull my wallet. I can justify the expense of buying several colors or countries sculpts if every nation has a compatible line up. AS IT SITS NOW I WANT TO BUY EVERYTHING LOL.

Additionally, large bags of single units would be awesome possibly even a super set of everything would be nice.

Are you making an excuse for SS Panzer Grenadiers? :D

SS Panzer Grenadiers?

The game already has Half tracks, which PG used…so they are already represented. Not much sense in making a guy holding a mp44 or mp40 because the gun would be small.

I just bought a bunch of planes for AA42.2. I like P38s but I’m sick of them. After pay day I’ll buy some more lol.

I’ve discovered buying only what I think I’ll need plus being selective about not buying every dang thing on the site in excitement keeps things extremely affordable.

I just got a nice Luftwaffe complete with HE-111s and FW-190s. I also opted for P40s and Mustangs for my European air campaign as well as Corsairs and Avengers which I will use as fighters for 42.2. Finally my USAAF and Navy will look right.

Hi

I would like HBG to release standard/full sets, since it does not seem FMG will or it is years away.
A full set with 28-30 pieces could have the following number of sculpt each.

Infantry 4 (5)
Artillery 2
Mechanized Infantry 2
Tanks 2

Fighter 3
Tactical Bomber 2
Bomber 1

Transport 3
Submarine 3
Destroyer 2
Cruiser 1
Battleship 1
Carrier 1

Trucks 1 (2)

TOTAL = 28 pieces set

Bying 3-4-5 sets will give us enough pieces of every sculpts.

I prefer this:

Infantry 6
Artillery 3
Mechanized Infantry 3
Tanks 3

Fighter 3
Tactical Bomber 2
Bomber 1

Transport 2
Submarine 2
Destroyer 2
Cruiser 1
Battleship 1
Carrier 1

Trucks 2

TOTAL = 32 pieces set

I really like your numbers IL. This would provide a much better ratio of more common units (infantry, tanks, fighters) to less common units (capital ships, bombers). Even more so than FMG’s current set. For example: With FMG’s sets, you only get 12 tanks per 6 Carriers. With your proposed numbers, you could buy 4 sets, get 12 tanks but only 4 Carriers.
