As someone who’s never played North Africa (and certainly not this game), I have no idea what works or doesn’t work in this version.
I did notice some typos though.
Blockhouses, bunkers, Atlantic wall fortifications

I would like to make some Fortifications down the road in my piece making project. Please pick items you would like to see in a set.
-
Coachofmany you cease to amaze me with your brilliant ideas for Axis and Allies.
-
A WW1 style fortress would be great, about the size of a blockhouse. If not doable, then a blockhouse in all the usual colors would be most helpful!

Do you have a link for a WW1 style bunker.
All the usual colors, what do you mean? -
I’ll work on getting a usable pic. As for the colors, I’m looking for all the OOB colors plus the grey and cucumber from revised.
-
The other I would like to see is a pillbox or a sendbag entrenchment piece. Rules for a coastal fort and a land fort, then you cold have softer entrenchments like pillboxes

On my vote for other I would like to see a piece that represents a mine field, maybe a wooden sign, or barbed wire, I’m not sure what it would look like but I like the idea of a mine field. Also I would like to see a sand bag piece as has been mentioned on here already. This would allow house rules such as “digging in” where infantry units that have not moved the previous turn could “dig in” to get a higher defense value.

Having sets in that many colors gets expensive!

can you not use the Blockhouse for Pillbox?
-
I think that some of these territories are getting way too crowded with pieces already (even in the big 40s maps) so I’d limit it to like a heavy and a light fortification, like the blockhouse for the light, so it could be defensive, and then something like the singapore guns for heavy that could fire back.
I also like the idea of just one piece type that could be stackable for heavier defenses, no attack. As cool as more pieces are, there is something to be said for one piece that could stand for a couple things like the coastal or interior forts -
This is what we need:

I agree that the units cannot get too big, lots of units and more coming out.
IL, that is the One coastal gun I picked. -
nice
good choice.

Let’s just do the light grey to match revised/anniversary ICs and AA guns then. Universal that way.
-
yes definatly! only need that grey color
-
im going to need it in oob german

Yes to the sandbag entrenchment. The pillbox or bunker being a common unit can be white and then painted any color by the purchaser.

im going to need it in oob german
why would you need this?
Germany wasn’t the only one with gun inplacments

Also, if you attack a territory with fortifications and capture it, you can use those fortifications against the enemy like you do with ICs and air/naval bases. A good example of this is when Germany overran France, they captured the Maginot Line. Then in 1944 when the Allies were driving the Germans back, the Germans actually used the Maginot Line to good effect against the Allies. Therefore, any fortifications, gun emplacements, pillboxes, etc. should be the light grey like the ICs and AA guns. That way they can be used by any nation and it will be much easier and cheaper for coach to make them, thus quicker for him to get them to us.

yeah at first i was thinking, i would like it for my a NA for germany for the house rules my buddies and i play. but making them one generic color makes more sense for saving coach money, and it wouldn’t change our rules at all
