Oh this so reminds me of the movie about the US and German units that where turned into zombies, it was a b movie from the '80s and I can’t remember the title…

Well this sure sounds interesting.  I like the idea of a more air combat based warfare.

@unc_samurai:

Two frigging Shermans!  Granted, neither is American, but for the love of WotC, can we stop with the Shermans?  How about the next expansion set?  I propose we name it “All the M4 variants you could ever think to deploy” and be done with it.

Well that sure would be very interesting since there are so many Shermans…lol

@The:

www.Hordelings.com
has stats for all sets and all units

Wow that is a great site… Thanks

I have had good success with the Nashorn and the Jagdpanther…

I am going to have to try and make on of these…

yes war brings out the worst in the world

@The:

yeah im also dissapointed that the new german paratroops arent more powerful or at least have double shot or supressive fire
being equipped with the FG-42 and all.

P.S. where is THE B-24??? or B-17

P.S.S i looked up thse tanks they looked more like self-propelled artillery than tanks but i agree with you

Oh yes I would like to see some bombers…

It does sound like a good idea.  I know there are times I wished I could have thrown a few more troops into the battle.

Yes ebay is a good place to get single pieces to fill out an army.  but buying sets is not a good idea

Well I look forward to adding these new pieces to my armies.  Especially these depot pieces, they do sound like a great help

@Der:

I’m not a huge fan of the naval conflict, but I do like the idea of mixing the two - get the higgins past the defences for an invasion, etc.

Also for the mixed game, I’m working on rules for calling in fire from local battleships, etc.

That will be cool…  I have thought it would be neat to have a good invasion with naval support

Well the rules do spell it out well on what you can do and can expect with the Banzai Charge

Wow cool, we are going to get the Calliope,  I love the fact we get something halfway good that has rocket salvo…

Well the best story I have is.  We had a 100 point country specific war.  I ended up feilding a japaness army with paratroopers, sniper, 1 tank and a zero.  Surprisingly this weak looking army was able to not only defeat a sherman strong us army.  But also was able to take out a very strong German army.  Mostly the luck was in the dice roll.  And the fact I was able to take the objective with paratroopers early and hold out until a full 10 rounds…  But the only bad thing, whenever I fielded my Zero it was with out a doubt the one piece I rolled bad dice for…

Oh well,  I guess I was hoping for to much to be able to really combine the two sets.    But I am sure I will have fun any.  Can’t wait till they hit the stores…

It is true that the Stuka has its pluses and minuses.  But if it is used right especially against infantry or soft targets it works great.  If you want to complain about a weak plane look at the stats of the zero.

Wow that looks great.  I am really looking forward to seeing this game more and more.  To bad It will not be out till next year.  But then again I have been spending way too much on building my armies this year…

I am wondering if they make the two sets stand alone, the orginal and now war at sea.  I am going to be a little miffed.  I am hopping to be able to have some good ole island invasions…  But I am sure if nothing else I will buy just to collect the pieces…
