HBG WW1 Set

@Coach

Thank you very much for the extensive answer!
ANd I fully understand your reasoning!
(I hope though that a time will come for your company that you can afford such a special set with perfect details (here: colour) as the starting point for an entirely new line (here: WW1)!)

And I DO like the release of the set especially the fact that it comes with the right basic units!
Btw what will the 12th miniature be? A Machine Gunner, a 2nd (early war) Infantry or something else?
The destroyer? The transport?

For me as a “history geek” it would have been Christmas to get the 100% WW1 release but honestly I am fine with the set as long as the light blue is really a light blue (not turquoise or with turquoise nuances)! (cannot say as I only own basic A&A sets from HBG)

kind regards
Stefan

speaking of WW1 and colors. Is there a plan to make pieces WW1 or otherwise (read ww2) in the Axis and Allies 1914 colors? To ask the same question in a different way. Will I one day be able to buy A-H colored pieces for both ww1 and ww2 armies?

Coach I think this set is a fantastic idea. The French pieces are perfect along with the original neutrals line-up to represent minor nations and alternative history house games.

How much longer will we have to wait for HBG`s first WW1 set?

I’m glad we have a timeframe! But man, the anticipation is gonna kill me.

Any chance of cavalry pieces?

I know they were effectively obsolete, but so were Battleships in 1939.

That’s the type of thing. Put me down for 8 of each colour.

Just need bombers, now.

Like this?

My goodness. This is nice enough and detailed enough to be cast in bronze as a 15-foot-high statue that would look great in a memorial park somewhere in France!

Any news regarding the WW1 sets? Will the pieces also be available in the HBG-Euro store?

Had to bump this. I’m looking forward to this set.
