HBG US Set in Optional Colors

Hi

Here is my opinion about Rail Station Markers and Rail Markers.

Railing Units takes part in Non-Combat Movement. Any Land Unit can Move/Rail up 4 Territories. (I feel the range must be the same for all land units)
-It has to start in a territory with a Rail Station Marker, but can stop/off-load in a territory with a Rail Station Marker OR Rail Marker.
-The Rail Capacity is the same as the Territories IPC value. A Territory with a IPC value of 5 can rail up to 5 land units, this also the number of units it can receive. A territory with IPC value of example 3, can only Rail 3 or receive 3 railed units per turn/round. A territories Rail Capacity is the same as the territories IPC value.

Rail Station Marker Cost : 10.IPC (Can both Rail/Receive Railed Units)
Rail Marker Cost : 5.IPC (Can only Receive Railed Units)

Or to make it more easy:

Rail Station Marker [Cardbord] : Gives Land Units with a Movement of 2, +1 Movement and Land Units with Movement of 1, +2 Movement. This way you can Rail (Move) all Land Units, Infantry, Artillery, AA Guns, Mechanized Infantry and Tanks 3 Spaces/Territories. I think that would make sense.

Today’s numbers:

HBG = 6 fans;

GW 1939 = 9 fans;

Inv of  Ita = 6 fans;

Okinawa = 6 fans and

WW III = 3 fans.

Don’t forget to comment and rate the games as well. It would be really cool if we could get Global War 1939 on the “Hotness” list!

Yeah, i looked at the site and i saw everything Thanks everyone  :-D :-D

The territories are intentionally squared off as part of the “look” I was going for. Wanted to give it a modern, almost sci-fi feel to it since it depicts a conflict that never actually happened.

The green territories represent US “landing areas” in a way. Places where new US units may be placed after purchase simulating safe landing areas for reinforcements from the mainland. Grey are NATO nations, brown Russia, orange Pact, and light tan neutral.

I like IL’s suggestion of light yellow for the Spanish.

I was just scrolling down the thread to suggest turquoise for the Turkish (I had suggested for the Australians in the past before grey became the established colour for them) when I saw that Redking beat me to it. :-D Anyway, I do think it would be a good idea, if not for the Turkish then at least for another nation.

In relation to Red, I think I should point out that the FMG Soviet pieces will match the FMG Soviet dice, which are solid red and not reddish-brown.

While we are discussing colours, maybe we could suggest a list of possible remaining colours for HBG pieces, if more are needed (some of these have been suggested here previously):

Dark Grey-Green
Orange-Red (different enough to distinguish from FMG Soviet Red and OOB/FMG Japanese Orange, as necessary)
Yellow-Orange
Turquoise
Dark Navy Blue
Pale Grey-Blue
Pale Orange
Dark Yellow (but as dull as possible)

I would prefer to avoid bright and/or neon colours, together with pink and purple (although a dark or grey-ish purple might work if one was desperate for a new colour).

Did this game die off?

Okay enough already with the awesome pieces. i use the ones that come with the game.

Field Marshall games would be making them once they sell out their AA dice plus the special Italian, French and Chinese ones. Once they get them going they look into new ideas and tokens are on the list as i hear it.
