Next Sets from Historical Board Gaming

I’ve got a question about the Early War German Set.  One of the pieces listed is the He 51 fighter.  If I’m not mistaken, wasn’t that originally going to be part of the Axis Minors sets?  Also, it is a bi-plane and the reason it got replaced by the Fw 190 was because the bi-plane would be too difficult to mold.  Has that changed?

I forget, is the Spanish Republic the ones led by Franco or the ones that fought against Franco?

Franco was the leader of the Nationalists.

Thanks Tigerman77.  I know that some players like to use yellow pieces, perhaps Axis Minors, for Spaniards and I’m guessing those are for the Nationalists.  If Coach is making plum-colored pieces for the Spanish Republic, perhaps he wants to recreate the Spanish Civil War?

I was thinking two nice contrasting colors for the Republic vis a vis the Nationalist would be red and yellow.

Plum is a great color for the Republicans as their flag incorporates that color.

Red is on the map for Russia/China and plum is not used for anyone, as far as I know…

on your site it says that your neutral set will include light blue and ivory colors? is this true? i really hope you keep light blue

Ballistic Missile Subs are now up on the HBG site. There are a number of colors available that match the modern tanks already sold there. These are replicas from the old Supremacy game. Pretty cool if you need Cold War variant units.

Is the early war French set still going to run a plum set? since the early war russian set is already doing one.

Lunar, yes it will be run in Plum.

The French provided a lot of assistance to the Spanish Republic during the Civil War. Also, by running the Russian and French set in Plum, it gives you another color to use as neutrals/other powers as you wish.

HBG likes to make different sets in the same color to allow you to mix and match. For example, if you want to use Yellow for Romania or Spain, you can use the Axis Minors Yellow and the Early War German Yellow and combine the sets for a larger unit mix.

The “Coach” is always busy with some good news for all of us.

Yes, may not be first run of colors but they will be made.

The colors for the neutral set will be white, light green, light grey, orange, and light blue. HBG is shooting for sometime in March on these pending final color approval.
