HBG US Sculpts

Greeting and salutations! I have recently created overlays for HBGs Global 1936 map that represent the political borders of 1861. I am aware that several years ago now HBG worked on a Global 1861 game. However as far as I can tell, HBGs Global 1861 project seems to have been shelved. Myself being a firm believer in the versatility of the Axis and Allies game mechanics have thus decided to create my own Global 1861 scenario. While further testing is still required and new political and possibly unit rules still have to be written. I am confident I can eventually create a comprehensive Global 1861 game. Although I feel I must apologize in advance if this project takes a long while as I tend to jump from project to project quite spastically, any help and or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

“Tall Paul”

Had to bump this. I’m looking forward to this set.

it would be really funny to see them putting training wheels on the Bicycles just so the molds stand up on there own.

is there any chance of getting a jet for each nation? I for some reason would love to see a MiG-15 piece, and I know it’s not a WW2 plane

I loved everything about the pieces and I like HBGs inf size more than FMGs which I believe is a little too small.

@coachofmany:

@12doze12:

This topic is a bit … off-topic but what all of us would be if there was no FMG …

1 - We would be desperate because the Italians use the same sculpts of Germany and France the same has SU … but FMG made a set of units for the Italian and is making one for France.

2 - We would bored of the same simple dices … but FMG made a set of 3 dices for each faction.

3 - We wouldn’t know where to put all of the Europe and Pacific 1940 content … but FMG made a box where you can put everything.

4 - We would be suspicious if our adversary is trying to role the dices to make small numbers came out … but FMG made a dice turret.

So what will it be to play this game without FMG ???

And Historical War Gamming, you also made our life better.

1 - Painted pieces for almost all important nations of ww2.

2 - You sell each unit from any game separatly.

3 - And you now are making a set for minor axis and marines.

FMG and HBG, you saved us !!!

Thank you…don’t forget the Custom Roundels and new maps too!
The United States sculpting will start this week for the third set.

Sorry I forgot those xD United States set ?  :-P

im just happy there is someone who is making OOB type pieces scale, color, and detail. and someone that listens to request and has poles to gain input on what to sell.
