@John:

Coach, if your taking out the Midway Class carrier out of the US set, what set will it be in, or is it going in the Midway boxed game?

This was the piece that I was looking forward to the most.

I want to be on the look out for this piece.

Thanks,

John

You are Correct.

@LHoffman:

@coachofmany:

These ships are ALL OOB size plus 5% for shrinkage.
The Midway Carrier will be larger Not the Essex.

Yeah, that is what I thought.

Midway > Essex/Yorktown/Lexington > Casablanca, et al.

Likewise:

Montana > Iowa/S. Dakota/N. Carolina > Nevada

Yamato > Nagato/Kongo > Fuso

Correct me if I am wrong.

@coachofmany:

Looks like the M3 will need to be smaller.

Maybe just a little bit. If you want it to be of similar size to the Japanese and German halftracks.

It is a little hard to judge the size of the ships from this picture, but it seems like the cruiser and maybe the battleship are pretty big. Not necessarily too big, because big ships are nice, but as I said it is hard to tell.

We have been through this a number of times, but a clarification on sizes:

Is there a largest ship type in your plans? As in heavy battleships and heavy aircraft carriers are of approximately equal size and are the largest ships. With ships like the Yamato, Midway and Montana(?) being produced should other ships be smaller? It looks like that from recent sets and in this picture, but I did not know if there was an explicit sizing rule that HBG is using.

@coachofmany:

Here is a picture of the new U.S. Set with Hellcat.
We will have better pictures in a few weeks.

Wow! Excellent!

@SS:

Is the G36 new map the exact same size as the G39 map?

yes, same map size.

@toblerone77:

I think we’re talking Hellcat TDs here fellows. Which is a favorite of mine either way.

Actually is the F6F Hellcat Fighter. We are revamping our Global Expansion sets.
We also have a Jackson TD in the “Amerika” mold and will sell those on a individual basis.

@knp7765:

The Komet. So that is one of those merchant ship/raiders? Like the Penguin?

I didn’t know about getting 2 Hellcats per US Expansion set. Does this include those of us that already placed a pre-order a little while back?

Yes like the Penquin, You will receive the Hellcats from all Pre-orders through October.

Through the end of October to get the 2 FREE Hellcats per pack. After that just the free Extras. then no Extras.
We have not announced it yet but will soon.

@wittmann:

Hi and thanks for the news.
Could you tell me when Germany will start shipping preorders please?
As an adopted Englishman, loving the exciting new sculpts, I am as anxious to receive them as my Colonial cousins.

We are getting out the UK pre-Orders First, then finalizing the US pre-orders to get them in….then we will do the German piece.
I believe we will add the “Komet” to the set (Raider)

UK Pre-Orders HAVE started shipping today!
All Pre-orders have 2 SP Artillery (Sexton) included in each Pack.
We will ship all pre-orders before taking new orders. Put your name on the waiting list and starting October 1st, we will be stocked for new orders.
Thank you for the wait.

@John:

Coach, are the British Sets ready to be delivered to us this week or is there a delay? :-)

Thanks,

John

We  will start shipping on friday, start. It will take 7-10 days to do them all.

They will be available in the Europe store but we are working on rules, map, and more units for the release.

@koba:

Been looking at these pics over and over. Can’t wait to get my hands on this map. I’m really eager to see the rules.

Watch Facebook “Historical Board Gaming” this Saturday for revised map and another play test.

They cannot.

I live in Tulsa!

@Uncrustable:

Japan dow UK before USA is at full production. (lets say to make this clear its turn 1)
USA in turn dow on Japan…
Does USA now get full production ? Or must it still roll dice and whatnot for income ?

What?

We are looking at a lot of different things and are in the works of more than I can say but once we get over this hump this year, Amerika boxed game, revamping our website on purchasing pieces, New designs for game and game designers. We will follow this up in our newsletter to keep everybody informed on what we are doing and the direction we are going. Thank you all for your continual support.

I do need to produce some UK Infantry markers, i will put that on our list.
island Warfare is delayed but we are looking on the best way to produce these sets with our factory.
We are actually changing the way you can purchase pieces on the site, no more ones or two, there will be a 5 min. on pieces and markers. We have to do this to keep us going.

@linhagens:

Hi all.

Would it be possible to buy an editable and digital file for this map? I would like to make some customizations on my one.

Thank you.

We do not give out the PDF File. Sorry
