Is this set the only WW1 set that HBG will do?

Possibly, we will play it by ear to see how popular our first set is, we will continue our WW2 sets.
As I see it you will (rightfully) continue your WW2 sets anyway!
BUT if your first FRENCH WW1 set is a hit, you will (most likely) make a second one, right?
(so please make a perfect one and you might get it!)
This set will have cavalry, zeppelins, rail guns, forts, and destroyers right?
At least in different colors the 1914 game could have extra piece types even though they are all french design…
Following this thread previously you already know which unit types will be included (page 1), so what’s the point of your post?
There will be no zeppellins, Rail Guns or Forts so…?
….So there should be
No.
If there were a set of 20 different unit types, ok.
But in a basic 12 types set, simply no.
I listed 5 different unit types, not 20.
What colours is this coming out in? I know you said french blue and about 8-9 others. What are the 8-9 other colours? Is dutch orange one of them?
All of HBG Neutral Colors plus French OOB Blue from Global 40
Oh awesome. Thanks for the quick reply :-D
Thoughts?
Very nice.
And he isn’t aiming his gun at anyone. Not sure about the bayonet, though…
What bayonet? I didn’t see any bayonet. Or are you saying that he SHOULD have a bayonet on his rifle?
I think it is a very good French infantry sculpt. Did you guys make that with the 3d printer?

All of HBG’s future sets will be Computer modeled, Amerika, Japanese Sets, WW1 set, etc.
We feel we needed better looking sculpts and sizing of our pieces.
No one holds a rifle like that. Unless the french shot from the hip. Or its a shotgun and this is the movies?

Why not the correct horizon blue WWI colour?
Is everything that matters fitting in existing WW2 miniatures?
What’s the point? After all it is a WW1(!) set.
Or to put it in other words: What’s the point in using a Renault FT17 WWI tank in a WW2 match anyway?
The units were not used at that time anymore! (some very odd exceptions only).
Why not thinking of creating a whole new WW1 line for those who really are interested in playing WW1 (ONE) instead?
And with this mindset of course the historically correct colour ought to be the prime colour of the set!
After that …whatever…Global 40 OOB Blue? I don’t care!
(release a French WW2 set as well because the Europe 1940 1st/2nd ed. OOB is (Russian) crap anyway!)
I love it and definitely think you should make them!

The reason is that we cannot afford to keep expanding colors. We will expand on the set colors based on the HBG and Global 40 colors. You can then expand into WW1, Korea, Vietnam staying with the same color and intermix the pieces. The Renault Ft-17 was used by many Minor Nations at the start of WW2, it was obsolete but used as recon, etc and if people have this in the same color they can use it with their existing armies. This is our vision and we think that our customer would much better have pieces where they can build upon their armies instead of a whole new color from another game. I am sorry you do not like it but our cost in 9 colors in quite expensive and to add another with minimum production runs is too much.
