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.

Well, the H111 is already the OOB sculpt
This is news to me. I thought the OOB sculpt was the Ju 88. I do like the idea of using the Me 110 for the Tactical Bomber.
-
Heinkel 111 is not the OOB unit. But it should be the new FMG German bomber
-
He111 for basic bomber, He274 for German heavy bomber
The Me110 should be the long-range fighter
-
All I know, is that the JU-52 will have to be the transport - and I am ecstatic!

Are there going to be transport planes?

gasp, my bad.
Then I revise my wishlist to He111 (or Do 217, I suppose), Bf110, and Fw190 for strategic, tactical and fighter, respectively. For shame on me. That’s what I get for not looking at the piece before posting.

There you go. Special transport aircraft for your paratroopers. No more bombers for paras. I have been looking for these for some time, now I will wait and see what FMG comes up with. @Brain:

I will post this update in the other thread as soon as the moderator unlocks it for me.
Enjoy!
(And YES, there are TRANSPORT PLANES)

I hope the legs on that wont break? They seem kinda long

They will be very sturdy… like the Japanese artillery in Field Command.(but these are shorter)
-
How about tipping forward? Do the legs weigh enough to keep the barrel up?

Yes, it will stand on its own like the real life model.

Okay I will be the first to say it. Awesome FMG! I can’t wait to get my very own.
-
Ohhh… this is good stuff. 8-)
-
Thank you FMG, thank you! Just tell me when I can buy!! :-)
-
Yep, good stuff indeed. Your army of faithful project investors is ready to put down our money for the Italian sets!
-
Holy crap, that’s an awesome artillery piece! I think I’ll spend the next half-hour staring at it.
any who, back to the issue of the US bomber:
The Liberator looks pretty Bad @$$! Better than the B-17. actually. I love it. great pick. Put in on the line. I’ll have 100, please.
