@toblerone77:

Coach, any chance of getting the German Expansion set in Italian Brown? Just about everyone but Italy has a good paratrooper and I for one would love to have that set for my Italians.

@coachofmany:

HBG is tossing the idea of making a WW1 set that will fill in the current WOTC game as well as IL’s game. We thought it would be neat to have a French set made in French OOB blue and HBG’s other Neutral colors. Many French pieces were used by many Nations so it would be a neat set. I will post them and update as suggestions are made on this first post! These pieces should fill in for both games.

Sold!

Love the idea!

@coachofmany:

We are running the U.S. Allies set to get more Olive drab pieces, (we are out of SP Art and trucks), we are also running more UK tan pieces and adding the Light green offered in the neutral color. We will also run it in the OOB Fench blue so that there is Airborne, SP Art, TD, light tanks, CVE, trucks, Transport plane, etc so that when we make the French set, we can make the standard pieces to replace the OOB ones. We will then come around again and pick up the correct pieces for SP Art, Transport, etc.
This is our short term fix.

Dang, this is good news!

Here’s what I worked up earlier this year as a best approximation of a realistic set up for June 1940. Maybe it will be useful?

@Variable:

5 new colors of the US Supplement set are now up for sale on the HBG site. Special intro price! UK Tan, Blonde, Sea Foam Green, and Light Blue.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make these and the Russian sets available for individual pieces purchase.

They look great!

Idea for an optional rule

Axis-Leaning Neutrals

Spain, Turkey, Portugal, and Argentina are Axis-Leaning Neutrals. They are treated as Neutral powers unless the following events occur:

• If London falls, Spain, Portugal, and Argentina become Pro-Axis Neutrals
• If Moscow falls, Turkey becomes a Pro-Axis Neutral

All other rules remain in effect.

Any feedback welcome.

@AlphaKappa:

So, Europe 1940 only includes 4 AAA pieces for each country???

No, 8 AAA guns per nation.

Thank you for the review. Looks very good indeed.

UK§ is labeled India.

Oh, and one more thing. The numbers were consistent across two boxes of both Pacific and Europe - I was only missing one Soviet tac bomber but otherwise identical quantities.

OK, try this link. I copied this template from the 1st edition version on BGG - credit to the original poster. Also, the numbers in bold are the new sculpts.

Hope this helps.

I actually built this out for myself the other night and am happy to share. When I get home from work tonight I’ll find someplace to post it.

WOW!!!

Your 1940 Europe map is amazing! Any plans for a Pacific mateable map?

What about Chinese infantry having an attack value of 1/2. In other words, if you had four Chinese infantry in a territory you would get two rolls at a 1? Gets to the same idea IL was getting at, especially if combined with infantry only costing 2 IPC each.

@Imperious:

Light Carriers or Escort ‘Jeep’ Carriers ( CVL or CVE)

Fortification or Fortress unit

x1,000,000

@coachofmany:

We have sent the colors for matching and looking at the polls we will decide on the colors.

UK Tan
ANZAC
Revised Green
Neutral Light Blue
Neutral Light Green

These seem the most popular.
Next year we will make another neutral set to compliment the set we have already put out.

Good list. Thanks, Coach.

Even if you did just particular pieces for individual sale this would be awesome. In particular I would love to have escort carriers for UK (G40 Tan) and ANZAC.

@WARRIOR888:

Coach and Variable just make the all the colors listed above,  I will buy complete sets.

WARRIOR888

Me, too. I love this idea.

@Bob_A_Mickelson:

Forgive my ignorance, is “yellow gold” a different than the “yellow”? I would love it if sometime you made a color chart comparison sheet that list which lists all sets available in certain colors. I have a hard time keeping track of all the color types. Some are quite subtle.

As for me I am far more likely to buy multiple sets if I know a color is available in multiple sets.

Thanks for listening.

I agree. Duplicating colors used already in the Axis Minor and Neutral sets would be ideal.

The neutral light green set is VERY different from the Revised UK light green. You can easily tell them apart on the table.

The yellow-green isn’t a perfect match for G40 China but its pretty close. Close enough that it would be confusing if you attempted to use both on the same board.

Hope this helps!
