The only problem I have with HBG’s new flight markers is that they stop at 6. Between long range aircraft tech and air bases, if I’m getting a set of flight range markers, I’d like them to go up to at least 8, if not 9.
But that’s me.

We can add 7,8, and 9 if there are people who want them.
problem is that my guage was only designed to 6 :-o
Will the British and American full sets also be restocked this month? I think all the individual pieces I want are in stock, but the cheaper combined sets are not.
Also, will the A&A 1941 German Tiger 1, Japanese Transport, and American P40 be restocked?
Full Sets will no longer be restocked
We restock others on a regular basis.

I don’t know the rules about placing links, but I can tell you where to find them. Go the HBG website. Then the following: Home > HBG Battle Pieces > Battle Pieces By Country > See All Battle Pieces. On this page you will find it.
They are suppose to ship to Tulsa next week, give us some time to QC and we will ship with 4 weeks.
it took way too long
Awesome, thanks! Apparently your previous customers think a lot of them…
We will be restocking, neutrals, Germany, Russia, and Japanese as well as our 1936 base set.
So is there any word on the French units that were announced some time ago? Love to give coach my money for those!
We are working on them, getting a lot of pieces in Late October and November, Base 1936 plus refills for Japanese, Germans, neutrals, etc
It is says: One side may claim victory when all opposing forces have been eliminated from the
six Spanish peninsula land zones (not including overseas islands and colonies).
Does this mean that nationalists do not have to declare victory if they do not want to or nationalists automatically win as soon as there are no more Republicans regardless of whether they want or not? (there are still Republicans territory)
Good question, and I think a better intepretation of the rule is that the Spanish Civil War ends at this point, there is no “option” to claim as the word “may” seems to indicate.
Example: The Republican intentionally make suicide attack to lose all units before the German attack on Russia and theirs aligning of Nationalists and Republicans. So Spain become Nationalists and they will Align with Germany at the
end of combat phase if the Axis have possession of either London or both Gibraltar and the Suez Canal. One strategy I have seen is the Germans stall the war out so that both sides Align and as soon s they do the Germans whack Gibraltar from Spain. Certainly viable although later in the game Spain is the first place hit by the US or Britain.

Is it just me or did the French set just slip under the radar without anyone noticing? Of all the sets HBG had on the go, the French one was the best one; from an economic perspective especially. I don’t understand why they produce obscure/fringe-type units that very few people will be interested in, such as Sea Planes when they can produce a set that can replace several thousand pieces. The interest is there for it, I’ve asked around. I don’t get it…
We are working on a complete set. We showed it on our Facebook Page.
I made a couple of videos on how to play Amerika if you’re interested. I made up some player aides as well if you’re new to the game. They are in the description box of the video and you can download them for free.

Very Cool!
@ProtesT:
Most of us who have been on the forum awhile all know and trust HBG… they’re a reputable company, and I’m sure you’ll find, your orders are safe with them… they are definitely NOT fly-by-night, and you can trust your orders with them.
I wasn’t posting that because I had any doubts. It was more of a way to prove that they are legit, or so I heard. But I still wanted to test them out so I ordered something small. If all goes well I will “up the ante” so to speak as there is quite a bit of things there I would like. And as far as my order goes, it seems so far so good. I ordered my items Saturday and first thing Monday morning I got a confirmation email that the item is in the process of shipping. Today the order tracker states it has arrived at the “Origin USPS”.
Hopefully we did a good job and you will come back and shop again. Thanks for your support.
Wow that’s an interesting story, Coach.
Please tell me that won’t be your next expansion set, “South African Monkeys at War”.
Hmmm… I wonder if we can think of a house rule for that???
Hey!! Quit looking at my monkey!
No. we will pass on this one!
@coachofmany:
we have space holders for now, we are working on adds as we speak. Thanks for all of your support.
Don’t forget large, full-motion-video adds with blaring music and “click here to minimize” button that constantly repositions the add to a different place on the screen when you try and click on it! :wink:
No…. we will not be doing those!!!
HBG want to make sure we have 6 sided dice that we can offer to our customers. We cannot seem to get them in stock from the wholesalers so we want to do our own. We already are getting prices and we are taking a poll to see if there is a want for them. They will be custom colors, custom roundels, rounded corners, 16mm dice.
@coachofmany:
Ya… FMG… unfortunately your experience is not unique, but you bring up a good point about the large adds on this site… FMG doesn’t seem to ever talk to anybody, do they continue to pay this site for the adds? How important are the FMG adds to this site’s revenue to keep running? As this forum obviously is a cornerstone of support for the A&A community, to continue to display adds from a very bad company that seems to do more harm than good is… well… at least open to some kind of question/debate… “Official Gold Sponsor”?� I’d rather only see adds from HBG and IWNGU than any from FMG.
HBG has been offered the Gold Sponsorship and we accepted. We are working on banners as we speak.
Hooray… Gold Sponsor HBG adds! Well done! :-D

I ordered from FMG on October 12…and it’s now November 23 and NOTHING has arrived. They won’t respond to communications. They won’t send my order.
They have ads all over this site to draw people in, but they’re such a scuzzy company. I ordered items from them for a birthday gift for a kid who’s just getting into A&A. He would have loved the items I ordered for him. I’ve told him about what I ordered for him and he’s excited, but over two months wait time so far? That’s crap!

@Young:
Would there be a statute of limitations on unfulfilled orders?… I’ve talked to some gamers that have paid for products almost a year ago and are still waiting for them.
Once we’ve shipped out all of the outstanding orders that have been forwarded to us, we will work on a way to help out those who’s orders have (or should have) shipped and did not receive them.
That’s a much tougher one to deal with on our end but we’ll figure something out.
Once we work out buying from you here at HBG. I will ship any orders still required to fill from backorders of FMG for free to U.S. residents.
Just send me the product in bulk along with my order (after we decide on what it is) if you think it will save you some money.
I found it harder and harder to get a hold of him as well as returned emails. After a couple months of trying, I finally gave up.
This was 6-9 months ago, I was needing more of his dice.
Our group is looking for a December play date, and welcome others to come join and participate. Our last game session desplayed dynamism as a Gooner joined in. We welcome other regular and alternate players. Stop by and observe, learn, and play! PM me for more details!
Next Play Date is December, 2016
Wish I could come and play. I graduated High School from Va. Beach, VA many moons ago!
