@KOOLHOVEN:

I agree. I think the Swedes knew they were on their on if it came to war with Germany.
The prewar Scandanavian alliance was hopeless.The Czechs/Poles received little aid.The
States were sitting it out.Who could they trust?
Back on subject,they would make the best neutral for the game.GHQ and Navwar make
Hungarian armor.The Toldi 1/2 and Nimrod were all Swedish designs built on licence.The
Bofors 15CM also.I have the Navwar types and use them for both countries.

I wanted to use this for the NEW AA Gun re: Bofors 15CM .  It is the only weapon used by all Axis and Allied Nations in the Second World War.

Thoughts?

Can you post a picture of what you’re looking at.  When I try to find it I get so many conflicting pictures and 90% of them are artillery and not AA guns.

Hey cminke,
I know this is off topic, but I was curious about the quote you have at the bottom of your posts.  I thought that quote was attributed to Joseph Stalin.

The Bofors sounds good to me.I can’t think of anything more universal.

Hey FMG,

How are things going with the last of the Italian units? What’s the current situation with the Strat Bomber piece? Are you guys working on a scult right now?

Thank you

Bofors 15cm sounds fantastic.

I can only imagine that selecting what you want to sculpt as early as possible will significantly expedite production. And help foresee similarities that may make pieces confusing… in the absence of silhouette charts and magnifying glasses. :-D

Im on vacation until Monday…  but I am told I should expect an update from the factory at that time.

Isn’t a 15cm gun kind of big for anti-aircraft?

OK didn’t notice that but actually now that you mention it…. that’s HUGE!

Having one AA for all nations sounds great to me though.

If this is it then its not that big?

It’s weird, but I’m more excited about the upcoming Italy set than I am about Europe 40… Now that’s gotta be saying something!  :-)

@Danger:

OK there’s no way that that pic’s a 15cm gun.

And that would be the diameter of the barrel between lands (the ungrooved part)… so 150mm… almost 6 inches. Twice the width of a Sherman’s gun and WAY bigger than the dreaded 88.

Is it bigger than the gun in your avatar?

@calvinhobbesliker:

Yup. You won’t find a 150mm mounted on a MBT.

Sorry Main Battle Tank.

I wonder if FMG was thinking 1.5"… wouldn’t that be (roughly) 37mm?

Now that would be a candidate for AA.

Hi,

Im new to this forum, I just played my first game of A&A and just got hooked  :roll:

This is a big thread and i don’t know if somebody asked this question, but where is the Mechanized Infantry?

I know the cost would be much larger, just asking  :-)

Hasn’t been made yet.  We are still waiting for that and the Submarine.

Ahhh, that explains why I see no pics
