you’d think they’d be intelligent enough to realise that if they released a little info, maybe a picture or two (apart from the box cover) then they’d drum up a little excitement and interest in the thing. right now it’s just us gossiping like old women  :x

… a german mine? … off the southern coast of australia? how odd

but i loves the monies!  :cry:  i like holding up my vast amount if ipc’s so everyone around the table can see how much i have  :-D

… or i could just use the money from some of my other a&a games. no monies, what a jip

no more playing money? so what’s replacing it?

near Sydney, Australia

count me in for the pre-order  :mrgreen:

very happy with how you’re approaching the sculpts for the pieces FMG’s, keep up the good work

i believe russia also had a prototype as well

kittyhawk was a pacific fighter wasn’t it?

is there still going to be jet fighter molds at some point (sorry if i skipped someone covering that). i want an me262 for my germany  :cry:

if FMG’s goal is to replace all of the original pieces for better quality ones, then the new molds should be based on common tanks, planes, etc from each nation. if it’s to build upon, then new molds different from the originals would obviously be the key

so is the goal to replace, or to add?

personally i like the 88mm flak piece for german arty. i mean, it was used in this role  :-P

BUT, if most people want a change, then stick with the iconic and make it a pak 40

well i’m sure he’d have a sense of humour, and chuckle quietly to himself  :roll:

it’s true that Germany came close to possibily knocking the UK out of the war, but no one knows for sure. and i highly doubt that the US would simply sit back and watch a nation it has invested large amounts of equipment in (lend-lease agreement, which also supplied other allied nations). they didn’t trade this for military bases they would never utilise after all  :wink:

obviously it makes sense now that the Germans should have dealt with UK first (if they could), as Churchill was never going to give in to German demands while he held the reigns. the problem lays with the Soviet Union though. treaties were signed, and negotiations were even initiated to bring the Soviets into the axis pact, so any number of events could have occured differently to change the over-all process of the war

maybe we should look at one ‘what if’ at a time? you could look at Germany preparing her economy for war much earlier on, or what would have happened if the Luftwaffe never switched to bombing cities over airfields and industry?

@Frontovik:

just a sec
if i get it right, japanese get to fly through 2 flaks?(india and caucasus)
lol, gl with that

aa is no longer ‘always active’. so you can fly over any enemy aa, on your way to another destination, without getting fired upon

christ, if the guy can open an AA50 and rifle around for all the pieces he needs AND THEN get away with them, all the while not being noticed by a store clerk or reported by a ‘paying’ customer, then good for him  :lol:

my group has actually put on music from the 30’s and 40’s. like them music  :-D

i fought against a UK player who was so determined to SBR Germany (myself) and maintain its fleet (additional units every turn) that i managed to pull off a sealion with only one transport, and all of my luftwaffe (multiple bombers and many fighters)

UK falling before Russia is always ammusing  :-D

sounds good. i already know about the s. africa IC though. had a friends father who would do it EVERY GAME as UK. very annoying  :lol:
