Next Sets from Historical Board Gaming

@Tall:

As far as the Russians go, I hope there are plans that include Russian Airborne Paratroopers. I thought Paratroopers were a “standard” part of HBG’s Supplement Sets. I hope they still are. Thanks for your time.

Ditto, since the german will have their own Fallschirmjäger. The British must have airborne units too but no sure about the japanese and italian though, puzzled…

i know im jumping the gun, but i’m hoping the neutral set does well. cause i still would love to see a more complete set version of neutrals, my wish list for them would be
Polish infantry:

A generic partisan infantry (something that could fit with maybe Yugoslavian/baltic states feel to it) maybe somthing like this:

I know everyone didnt like the Fokker Gi but i think it would look cool as a tac bomber.

Submarine:
either the Dutch K XIV

Or the Polish  Orzel class Sub

Medium Tank:
i was thinking maybe the american made dutch semi used Marmon-Harrington MTLS-1GI4 medium tank, it has a neutral looking feel to it

Plus would still love to see that PZL p.24 fighter, the P.24 was used my a number of differnt nations through out the war, including Greece, Poland, Bulgaria,Romania, and Turkey

I am not sure where to post this but…… I would like to see the M-3 General Lee Tank.  I am not sure if it should be a early war British set or an American future set.  I think the sponson mounted gun would look cool on the game board.

The Italians are REALLY sounding good! That was a great list for the next neutral set also.I think the Orzel class was Dutch built,could be wrong and the Dutch had a decent armored force in the NEI.There was an excellent site on their Overlandwagens,don’t know if it’s still out there or not.
Many consider the Re 2005 the most attractive plane of the war.I have minis in 1/300 of both(G55) and they are indeed nice.
Although my first 2 orders to HBG have been for OOB/HBG individuals,I plan on about 10 sets when the Neutrals are released.I like the G1 also.There were several nations prepared to buy this fighter and the ones that shot up the Ju52s
in 1940 were originally built for Spain!

Is there any plans for a British Set? Seems to be the elephant in the room.

Yes, all countries will be done. However, the list has not yet been put out for consideration. I guess we will need to start one soon!

I just find it funny how US gets 2 sets, germany gets (basically) 2 sets, russia gets 1, japan gets 1, france gets 1, Italy has one (FMG), and Neutrals get 1, but no word on the British. Next thing you know China will get one and still no British plans.  :-D just talking about the big white elephant in the room.

Hey Coach I was checking out your site and saw you can’t order individual pieces for the neutrals yet. I personally am not going to use all of these pieces in your set and love the ability to buy only the pieces I want as I already ordered from the Axis minors and USA sets. Any time table if there is one to order these individually? The Russian set looks tremendous can’t wait. On my wish list I have Britain, Britain colonial (India), new Italian set would be nice. thanks for all you do Coach these pieces rule.

if you search around the forums a bit i think coach has plans for all of the things you are asking for(UK,italky,Japan 2 ect ect …), so help support HBG so they can continue to bring us great products.

Im really looking forward for the Russian set. The early war German set has an estimate it release date of June 1st, is this still  valid date cause I dont see any pics of them.

No, I’m afraid that date is no longer valid. It was set like 6 months ago but Coach’s plans have changed since then. He had trouble with the factory getting the Italian Brown Axis Minors in the right color and the Neutral sets took a little longer than expected. Then he decieded to go with the Russian set before the 2nd German set so that pushed the 2nd German set back a little farther.

The Russian set should be on time. Then he has to get all the sculpts finished for the 2nd German set and approve final versions. I’m very anxious for the 2nd German set too but we will get them before too much longer. Just have to be patient.

I have searched the boards and can’t seem to find anyone talking about what should be in a british set. If you have a link to one it would be great

I have seen some talk about possible units for Britain, but not a lot. The UK is still a ways off for both HBG and FMG.

Russians in 4 weeks, German set after that, Japanese after that……

Coach, are you referreing to the FMG German units or are you designing your own set?

Thanks.

I think he’s talking about his own German Set #2 - being produced right after the Ruskies.  FMG’s ought to be out soon coincidentally (Jeremy gave a May 19th planned release date…but we’ll see I suppose).

Lozmoid,
You need to hop on HBG’s site under “Battle Pieces” and “In Production”. There you will see the Russian Early War set which he already has sculpts for. Also, there is the Germany 2 set. No sculpts for this one yet because it’s still in the works but you should check out the list of pieces that will be in this set. Really cool stuff. Some included are Tiger tanks, Panzer IV, Panzer II, Elephant tank destroyer and the Me262. I’m really looking forward to it.

Okay, thanks for the tip.  :-) Checked out the site, very nice.

4 weeks??? On the website it says June 30th, so its most likely mid June now? Thats even better coach. Keep up the good work. Any timeline for the German set? Im looking forward for those Bf 110s
