Looks like Amerika wont ship until February. Just posted for those waiting on the set.
Yeah I recieved the backers update email…… I think Doug knows you and I have been venting cyanight, as his letter did mention " several" displeased consumers lol. Oh well I wasn’t aware Amerika was tying up all the other supplement sets too which is a double burn! Patience really just seems impossible these days lol

––**I spoke to “Ebard” about three months ago and had him add the Roman Coliseum & Australian Sydney Harbor Bridge to his Capitals.
––And I then had “Allworkandnoclay” work his painting “MAGIC” on them.
----But before he had time to photograph them I had him rush them to me so I could use them in a game with some good friends that unfortunately was cancelled at the last moment. Anyway, I’m now having him photograph the Capitals, along with the newest one’s,…the French Eiffle Tower &
Arc de Triomphe, and the Indian Taj Mahal. All I can say about his painting talent is:
Wow!––I had intended to surprise everyone with these well detailed units, including the additional one’s I had him create, as ‘hinted’ at in my last message in my “Shapeways” thread,…but as I said, I delayed that for the enjoyment of some fellow gamers. Anyway, you will soon see the pics of “Allworkandnoclay” and his painting magic. I’m truly glad to have had a small hand in making these excellent units available for ALL of our gaming enjoyment.
----One word of advice,…IMHO I strongly suggest you consider orderring these in the highest level of detail; FROSTED ULTRA DETAIL,…as the level of detail is truly unimaginable as you will see. Their level of detail just screams for some light ink washes to make the detail just “POP” out. And just wait until you see all of the colorful turrets on the Kremlin, wow!Tall Paul
Thanks buddy, for that! :-D**
Jwo - Yea, I think Doug knows me by now. I try to be very polite when I call :)
Hey Paul thanks so much for having Ebard make these. I saw in a long post where you guys were deciding which pieces to make. I made mine simple and purchased the lowest detail which I wish I would not have. I cant wait to see your pieces painted.
Guys,

––No need to Thank me,…I was simply acting in everyone’s interest,…including my own.

––Yeah, Getting them made in FROSTED ULTRA DETAIL was one point that I truly wanted to strongly suggest to everyone when I showed my pics. These buildings are just covered with detail like windows, columns, etc. that just scream minute detail! You’ve seemingly already come to this conclusion,…just wait until you see the F.U.D. detailed versions.Tall Paul
I got the new high detail set of Capital markers.

Wow, those are unbelievable Cyanight! Nice job, man, nice job! :-D
Waiting on HBG to ship new minis so I decided to update my map. This version contains all the roundels for all the neutrals except for Crete which I could not find. The second map file contains an expanded English Channel.

That is so cool, Cyanight. Very awesome, having each nation’s symbol, makes it that much sweeter. :-D
That looks really slick. Well done. If I ever get a map printed it’ll be this one!
Cheers for the effort! Looks smashing - just downloaded…

GREAT MAP Sent it out to get printed. When looking at the map I noticed that USA was a little off. I though it was the file but the boards are off also. LOL

I guess I never put the boards together that way.
Thanks again for all the kind comments.
Only 3 more weeks until HBG releases the Amerika set or is supposed to for the 3rd time this year. Its been almost 1 year since I preordered the set.
The map file version (N) had a mistake. When I expanded the English Channel I actually made a mistake with the northern seazones around Iceland. Here is the corrected version of the map.

Can you make Bessarabia a little larger? (Also, you could give Crete simply a roundel of the Greek Flag)
:((((((( i already sent the file to print …. is that big of a difference ??? I can’t see it  …
I would contact your print company ASAP. I think it is a big difference but in 80% of the games it might not ever be a problem. The issue is SZ 117 should border the season around Iceland thus making it possible to move from USA east coast to Iceland in 1 turn.

Version N (Wrong)
Version O (Corrected)
TOO LATE …… :(
GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE AN MARK ON THE MAP.
