FMG and Coach, if this keeps up we will all have the entire USN Pacific fleet at Pearl on Dec 7, 1941.  Only Battlewagons that will be missing. USS West Virginia, USS Maryland both Colorado class BBs.  USS Tennessee, USS California.  Coach if you do the USS Oklahoma its sister was the USS Nevada.  FMG if you complete the USS Pennsylvania its sister was and still is the USS Arizona.  Iv’e waited for over 20 years for some company or person to create plastic authentic looking Battelships and you Gents are the ticket.  So waiting for these for a few months is a cake walk.  Anyone who is good with a modeling knife can mod Oklahoma and Pennsylvania into the other ship classes. Keep up the excellent work and you will see some serious sales from this. :-D :-D :-D :-D

Black fox, excellent data.  I confirm your figures. I am a retired USAF a 31 year vet.  No nation on this earth would be able to sustain losses of airmen and aircraft like WW II combatants.  For one, no nation not even ours has an industrial base or the will of the people to support it.  The closest any nation came to it was Russia during the cold war, but they put 89% of their GNP into the production of weapons. We and Nato only 8% percent GNP.

Coach, you will most sincerely be receiving more orders from me, I am your neighbor over in Enid who orders about every 45 days.  Your service is excellent and your extras in the last shipment were a surprise.  I like yout coasters they are cool.  Cheers

Coach, excellent idea for a non-Iowa class.  For a second consideration how about a Montana class for a possiable future second USA supplemental set? :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Question, this may have already been answered in the 100 plus previous posts.  Is FMG goingto allow purchase of these sets after the first production run or is this a limited edition run for these sets.

Agreed, P-51 Mustang is long overdue. Avlon Hill should have gone with it or a P-47 Thunderbolt in the first place.

David, every message I reply to is being marked as spam!  I have contacted several moderators but have seen no positive results.  Can you fix this issues for me?  I am not a spamer but an avid AA war game player/Collector.

Thank for your assistant in this matter

Coach, In your USN set I hope you consider for Battleships a older class say the Idaho Class and a Tech class of the Montana. :-D :-D :-D :-D

Coach, Awesome selection, two sets of US alternates, Excellent.  Iv’e bought a lot of units from your site and I am really looking foward to your production of these additional units.  I like my AA games to have massive amounts of pieces and you and FMG are producing what this game system has need for those of us hard core AA gamers who like to push the envelope on action, alternate pieces.  I do want to see for sure Midway, Essex, Independence, P-51 Mustang, and Chaffee. Hopefully you can get them in one of the production runs.

Cheers

Hello, Has anyone purchased this game and are the pieces in size compatiable to Axis and Allies Pacific 1940?

Cheers

Does anybody know the scale of AA aircraft?  Are they 1-300 scale or 1-600 scale.  I-94 Enterprie has decals in both sizes and I am clueless in which ones to buy.

Cheers :-)

Gents, does anyone know the scale of AA aircraft? 1-600 or 1-300?  I figured out they are not 1-700 scale waterline size.  I-94 Enterprises has decals in both sizes.

Cheers

Coach Ilike the idea of additional  AA Germans.
Here is what I would like to see.
Luftwaffe:  FW Condor for long range recon and Heavy bomber.
ME 262 jet Fighter.
Medium Bomber HE-111 primary med bomber.

Artillery:  105mm and 150mm towed artillery back bone of german artillery regiments.
No more 88mm.
Heavy Artillery 170mm or 210mm guns
If you want to do a heavy tech artillery go for a K5 Railroad gun like Robert and Leopold the ANZIO sisters.
Anti-Tank guns: PAK 75mm or PAK 50mm
SPG AT Marder II or III
SDKZ 7s and 11s for PZ DV, and PZ GRN DV, Horse and cassion for INF and Volk DVs.
Armoured car PUMA you can really distinguish a PUMA on the board.
I like the Scharnhorst for a BC.
If you want a tech BB go for the H39-H44

Cheers

Coach, excellenct list of USMC pieces.  With this set we can even create the Black Sheep Sqdrn of Pappy Boyington.
Only thing I see to do that is after purchase paint the corsairs in navy blue to match what his squadron flew.  Anybody else like this idea?

Cheers

Gents, In this discussion on Battle Cruisers did anyone figure the fire power of the HMS Hood was 8 x 15 inch guns the same fire power of the DKM Bizmarck?  Yes Bizmarck’s guns were a new design but they fired the same broadside of the Hood.  I like the idea of Battle Cruisers and I propose these classes below if this develops further into actual playing pieces.  For hits make your CCs 2 Hits and all CVs 2 Hits, increase BBs to 3 Hits and you will have a serious game.  If you want to penalize UK for armoured deck than limit them to 1 Tac or 1 Fighter no both.  I like the idea of CVEs 1 hit to sink and speed of transports. CVEs carry only 1 Fighter zero Tac.

USN Alaska Class 3 ea 2 other scraped before launching
IJN B-64 Class 2 ea IJN PROPOSED BATTLE CRUISER
UK Hood HAD 3 SISTERS NEVER COMPLETED
USSR Borodino ACTUAL LAUNCHED IN 1915 NEVER COMPLETED WITH HER 3 SISTERS
Germany Scharnhorst OR Z-PLAN O, P OR Q
French Dunkerque 1 SISTER STRASBOURG
Italian We would have to create one can’t find a ref were one was even porposed.

KNP, Thanks for the correction. 
USS Augusta class was very close in design concept.
Victorious was a Sister of the HMS Ark Royal good catch.
IJN Maya was a sister of the IJN Takeo :-)
