That’s fantastic!

bring back the Hellcat and a Russian Artillery (not US artillery done in russian color)

Russian artillery was fantastic. They had such an array of guns. Is wrong they do not have their own sculpt.

either that or Chinese P-40 and Chinese artillery.

I’d have to go with Escort carriers and P51’s

Katyushas. Radar.

Bunkers and POW Camps!

This issue is addressed in E40 2nd ed… New USSR artillery sculpt included!

Brilliant!

Actually, it might be kind of cool to have some sort of leader sculpt; like a Roosevelt, Churchill, Hitler, Stalin etc…

You could move them with ships or aircraft, but if they are captured your country must save them or surrender. But your leader can be sheltered by an allied power. Or something similar… maybe an idea worth pursuing.

Just got the idea from a couple games we played where we found a Risk soldier in the game and he ended up becoming Churchill and sitting in England the whole game.

HBG sells those sculpts.

Visit his site and BUY.

Those are the Rocco units and I’m kicking the Hell out of myself for not buying because if you go there now the link is blank. They were a bit smaller than the infantry in A&A but would be awesome.
Just do what I did and paint some heroes. I went with Comic book guys because I am a tremendous geek. Colossus for Russia, Captain America for USA. Etc etc…. Painting all your units might seem daunting at first but let me tell you that you WILL get pretty good with practice. I’m built for power and not finesse as anyone who met me at FMGC12 will attest but believe me if I posted pics of my Japanese guys who I did first and my FMG Italians or ANZACs which I did last you will see the progress. Give it a shot people. If you hate what they look like you can always reprint them in the OOB colors.
Also, check out a local hobby shop. They might have 1/72 units for these leaders and if not on the shelf they might have a catalogue where they can order them. Special units int he sizes we need are herded to find but with research you will succeed. FMG and HBG are awesome though and if you can get what you need there, and you mostly can, do it there.

I just got my HBG pieces this week. And I must say that I am a little disappointed with the scale, but otherwise they are very good. I feel like I can’t use most of them for A&A only because of the size difference… it would just look too odd. The US Escort carriers are perfect though!

I did not think to look for a leader type piece there, but it sounds like they are all gone now… unfortunately.

Nazi Mechs!

This game has nice little mechs in various colours:

All they need is to have little German decals put on them.

Risk Metal Gear Solid also has nice mechs.
