I would bet that most if not all rules out of the Gamer’s Paradise book have been implemented into all the house rules you find on the net as well as Larry’s, Xeno’s and HBGs Expansions.

Any current pictures of Germany?

@Lunarwolf:

im going to have to disagree. i tried using 1/72 pieces on my board and it just doesn’t look right, it does not have an A&A feel to it.the scale and color don’t match with the rest of the A&A pieces either, plus i like how infantry pieces have a round base to it. I mean if your going to use your painted 1/72 toy soldiers than thats cool, but please don’t take away the infantry from future sets that we need from the rest of us who want an infantry pieces with an actual A&A feel to it.

To each his own.  My self I only use them, painted, for my Specialized units.  Such as Paratroopers, SS, Commandos, Marines, Rangers, Russian Guards, Volkstrum and so on.

@Tall:

To expand on GoSanchez6’s idea with something I’ve been hoping for in the future, a Supplement Set for All Nations. A series of “Winter, Jungle, Desert, and Special Forces Infantry Sets” might be made. For Example:

A Winter Infantry Set might contain all nations except Anzac.
A Jungle Infantry Set might contain all nations except Germany.
A Desert Infantry Set might contain all nations except China.
A Special Forces Set might contain multiples from every country.

There are so many Special Forces from every country that I believe that this would be a very popular set. Such as the French Foreign Legion w/Kepis, U.S. Army Rangers w/soft caps, Anzac Commandos, etc.

This is something that HBG should consider.

I stand ready to immediately Pre-Pay my reservation for these sets if that might help get them produced.

I have not pre-set my choices and realize that there would be much discussion on particular units to go in the sets. That’s fine with me and I’m certain that I’d be happy with whatever units were decided on as long as we’re able to get the sets made. I know HBG is very busy with their ongoing announced sets, but I was hoping that these sets might be done over and above the supplement sets,…or after the supplement sets are completed. I appologize for putting this in the French Set thread but was following up GoSanchez6’s ideas.

No need to make units like that when all you need to do is invest in 1/72nd size units from Revell or Cesear.  They are perfect for Axis.  Thats why I don’t understand why we are supplementing more INF units when 1/72nd units have been out there for years.

great looking map

Thanks everyone.  Wasn’t sure.

Does anyone know if the armor units in these games are the same size as A&A units?

Actually I feel that the US could of waited.  They are such a silent beast in the game.  Axis has more action going on from round 1.  They are on the offensive.  When does the US really get into the game?

any idea when we can pre-order the Neutral Set?

any updates on the on the Germans?

Paratroopers
Air Transports
Heavy Tanks
Pill Boxes
I-400 Submarines
Aichi M6A Bomber
Escort Carrier
Truck

What’s the status of the German Units?  Behind schedule, on time?  On the website it shows ETA 12/30/11.  Are we looking at 1st qtr?

Thanks

question is:  What are going to do with all those Italians?

What’s the Status Germany?  Are they on schedule to be released next month?  Any new mold to see from the next Nation after Germany?

Coach,
I noticed in the US Supplement Pictures you had an Air Transport Plane, but in the list of 28 pieces you don’t have included.  Is this unit not being made?

JAPAN-why is japan neglected.  What units are planned for this Axis Country?

what color of blue did you use on the Corsairs?

Even Though we can now Pre-Order Germany, has anyone noticed FMG still has not given us a date on when Italy will start shipping.

ETA?

I’m waiting to see what the Japanese get.  It seems that it’s hard to find Japanese pieces lout there.
