Warrior,
I’m not against having Barracks, Coastal Guns, Blockhouses, Sub Pens, etc., etc., etc., PRODUCED.
I’m just saying that NOW is the TIME for FMG or HBG to consider all of these “Common” units and PRODUCE THEM A.S.A.P.(Please).
Wherther you use all or only some of these “Common” units would be up to the individual player.
However I think any plans for their use in games should be put forth in the many “House Rules” threads.

It looks like I just joined the Artillery with that posting. That’s cool with me, as my Dad was an enemy artillery spotter in WW2. That’s his picture on the left. He plays A&A with us. How COOL is it to play a WW2 game with a WW2 veteran.

Tigerman,
Yes, please consider yourself envited. I don’t have any engraved invitations around here at the moment, but your still invited, man. If you give me a little notice we’ll sure try to set-up a game for you. My older brother, Pat, 63, that plays A&A with us, flys his hot air balloon passengers on Saturday AMs. We currently play at my brother’s grass-strip airport in his community room. Plenty of room there. He’s a hot air balloon pilot, held a world record at one point and is still ranked in the top 10 in USA. His handle is “Maverick” if that gives you any idea about his competitiveness. Hopefully we might find some time to talk about the SOLOMONS CAMPAIGN game we’re working on,……as well as you’re showing me your “Iceberg” game. Yeah, my Dad will turn 87 on Sept. 25th,…and I’ll turn 53 on Sept. 30th. Right now we play G-40 games-OOB rules on my brothers b & w 48" x 108" gameboard. Although My gameboard of the same size is color, I’m about to build a nice mahogany shadowbox arangement around it and then cover it with glass before we use it. My Dad had resisted changing to Alpha-2 , but I’ve about got them convinced, now. When we get this SOLOMONS CAMPAIGN game finished, I can see we’ll be playing it for a long time, probably.
By the way, is your name “Tigerman” because you’re an LSU alum?
Please give me an e-mail, A.S.A.P. It’s listed in my profile. We’ve got a lot we can talk about. Later man.

Everyone,
What kind of “fortifications” do we all want/need?
Like I Say,……What Do YA’LL Think???

Tall Paul and Others.
Coastal Guns are a must to properly defend other Japanese held islands. Iwo Jima had many coastal guns dug into MT Surabachi that wrecked havco on the Marines on Beach Red. Solomons I don’t recall any being used by the IJA. Naval bases are cool if you can capture one intact you can use it yourself. Same as airbases. I think we need a 1 turn waiting period before you could use either, this would give the appearance of repairs being completed. Any thoughts on this?

Germany also needs coastal guns for Normandy and Holland/Belgium. The Atlantic Wall was pretty formidable, even if the Allies overcame it.
Razor I completely agree with your sentiments. These would be a huge seller I know I am in for 2 sets.
As I wrote in an other topics.
I need WWII commanders….

The each FMG nation set includes commanders.

Yes I know but you have to buy the whole set.
Anyway I have 2 figurines with the same pose in my Italian set.
I think a set with at least 2 commanders per major power will be a good seller.
:-D OK I just saw the tread about commander…it’s a project…Hum. I’m going to read the post…

You won’t have to buy the whole set. FMG and HBG have a deal to sell individual pieces through HBG (mentioned some time ago in that massively long thread where everything gets lost).
Didn’t know that, i’m goign to take a look.
I have done my own with preiser and other 1/72 manufacturer but a nothing better than the real one.
Hey crusaderiv, if you are looking for national leaders, HBG has a set from Roco of 1/87 scale leaders. The set includes Rommel, Musolini, Hitler, Churchill, DeGaule, Stalin, Eisenhower and 2 Goerings. It’s a pretty cool set if that’s what you are looking for. I wasn’t sure if you wanted actual historical leaders or more of a “generic” commander figure.
Yes, I just order it. A must for my 1939 gameboard but if I can get some other figuries as field commander I could introduce general rules such discuss in the other tread. A new rule as defender retreat should be cool.
