Historical Board Gaming Russian Set

Excellent choices

I’m glad everyone likes the lineup! It wasn’t easy pairing down the list…

I love it!

Looks really good.  I like the different color choices too.

The Kaytusha SP Artillery – is this the Kaytusha multiple rocket launcher?

Ya good choice.
especially IL-4 and yak 6.
I already have the KV 2 from C&C shops.
It a must!!

I’ll watch close for these. Good choices.

Hi

I really would like a Russian Infantry with Winter Field Cap and winter uniform, since the OOB Infantry pieces already have helmets. Just my opinion. I also like the choice for SP Artillery, this should be the BM-13 on ZIS-6 truck model.

I also like these infantry from italeri, especially infantry number four.

Coach, we will be able to get these in single pieces right?

@coachofmany:

zis-6 is the Katyusha, and I am doing it.
The Russian with the winter coat will not fit with Spanish Republic or Communist Chinese.

Plus, we don’t have any troops for any other country in winter gear either.  Although, I believe FMG still has that cool sculpt of German infantry in winter dress.  Jeremy said it may come out in some future surprise set, but that was long ago and I haven’t heard anything about that sculpt since.

communist Chinese?, is this is a there will be a national Chinese set?

Hey coach, any time table on when are they going to be released? Im really excited about this set

There are a number of variables to consider on this. I know the designs went off to the sculptor, but there have been occasions where a sculpt in a set needed adjustment or to be redone. The other is color matching can be an issue as it has been in the past. All things considered though, Coach seems to get these from idea to pieces really fast. My guess would be around 8-12 weeks but miracles do happen!

I am stoked about this set HBG. Niccccceeee.

As with the rest of Coach’s sets, these will likely debut first as a complete set, then be offered as individual pieces.

Sculptor is busy working on these and they are due out next after the Neutrals set!

Sweeet!  Cannot WAIT to get some new Ruskies!

I thought after the Neutrals was going to be a French set then a second German set.  Are those two going to be pushed back for the Russians?

Hi Coach,
I’ve placed several orders in the past month so I’ll definitely be ordering some of the Russians! And some of the new German sets also!
I do want to thank you for the exceptional quality of your sets and the  very prompt service also…and thanks for the pens and post-it pads…it’s nice to know that customer appreciation is a priority for you.

I agree with captain walker.  Can’t wait for future sets!
