@ Yavid, the sets are cool but we have to have a B-29. I have some TT B-29s but an HBG version would be far better. We really need some gliders too. I’m glad to see the Thunderbolt too. A Wildcat or a Hellcat would be great. There’s soooo many units but we really need a Super-fortress, it’s a must.

lol I’m agreeing with you and I too have the table tactics B-29. and the Hellcat is going to be in Island Warfare. I would like to see a 2nd American artillery because everyone has two except America.

@toblerone77:

I am more than thrilled with the new upcoming units from HBG.

@ Coach. Can we please, please, please, get a B-29? I know it may not be possible but can we please get a B-29 soon? I would buy any set that had one. If there’s any way to do it besides tracking down old Table Tactics or buying from Shapeways please give us a B-29. Put it to a vote if you must. This is needed and I believe many agree.Â

I agree the B-29 is needed. I also would like to see the Long Tom.

Guys,

@Yavid:

BTW everyone HBG put up a 3rd American Set. http://www.historicalboardgaming.com/HBG-Battle-Pieces–WW2-United-States-Expansion-Set_p_1668.html

––A P-47 Thunderbolt! YES! This was my Fathers favorite aircraft in WW2, and he has many stories concerning the power & ruggedness of the "Jugs’ he saw in combat.
––This is one ot the a/c that I will utilize for a NEW UNIT TYPE,…“Fighter/Bomber” in my games along side of another NEW UNIT TYPE,…Long-Range Fighters(2-engine).
----The B-24 “Liberator” wil also be a very welcomed unit, along with all of the rest of HBG’s wise choices for units produced. THANKS HBG!

“Tall Paul”

I like your idea for fighter/bombers but what aircraft are you using for German fighter/bomber?

If you have OOB maroon units from AAE99 you can create another communist army such as the Warsaw Pact. Im considering using a combination of red Japanese units and light red Russian units to create a Communist China player.

Tolerone, it is funny you mentioned that. I just ebayed for a AA Europe 99 and already have 3 sets of light red Russian units. I was going for the same thing. Great minds think alike. :-D

Yes indeed JB!

The red Russian units match pretty well to the HBG red Japanese and the AAP01 red Japanese units also. That’s why I’m considering them for Chinese/Asian communist units. The Plum I will use for Communist allied minors and insurgents. The yellow green work really well for Nationalist/Pro Western Asian forces.

I’m going to use the Russian plum units for Spain, until the plum French units come out. :-D

they are doing france in plum?

If you go on their site under France, it will tell you the two colors, French Blue and Plum are the colors available for the French units.

they are putting stuff up right now. in the last 10 mins. The American set went up. A huge French set went up. And the facilities set got a change.

yeah guys at HBG you guys seem to have a mistake on your site. You have two links going to Axis Minors 2 one of them is labeled Axis Minors 2 and the other says HBG “Battle Pieces” - Facilities

thanks for that info. I’ve been wondering how they match up together

I have plans to get a communist china army fielded. The color won’t be red but it’ll work for me.

some of the white transports I got I’m going to be painting black to be German surface raiders. and you went and got my hopes up for some island warfare samples.

@Flashman:

Horses go even further if you load them onto the trains carrying the infantry…

yeah they go just as far just as fast as the infantry on the trains.

I only paint basic color not fine detail like the other guys.

I got you. It is definitely more than I’m going to do, LOL. :-D

The most I’ve done was spray paint all my German Table Tactics pieces flat back. This time around I’m spray painting black me-262s and green LVT-1, brown. I’m thinking about painting some of my many many American shermans, ANZAC grey, and French Blue.

Are you lending your shermans to other powers or leasing them?

Man, I just got e-mail from HBG saying the maroon Russian sets were in, so I bought 5 sets, 8 hellcats from Pacific 2001, and 10 small and large coastal markers for my '39 game.

I’m thinking of doing alittle of both leasing and lending them or something like that :D

I know I got tired of waiting for brown Russians. so I went ahead ordering the maroon ones.

I’m still ordering the brown ones, but the maroons will look cool too. :-D

I got tired of waiting for the brown ones to be in stock. I throw all my A&A pieces together so it’s not a big deal.

Is the Italy set still planned at the end of this year?

We stayed away from Italy because FMG released their set but we will do an Italian set, not sure on release.
We have many projects in line.

Just throwing it out there but I would like to see France, 2nd Russian, or 2nd UK set after Axis Minor 2

I’m all for that and some Anzac!

What did you just order from HBG? :-)

Russian set x2, Neutrals x1, Allied Minor (ANZAC, UK, and French) x2 each, US Marines x1, Germany x2, Japan x2, V-1 tokens, Neutral Inf. in 3 different colors, Communist China Roundel, extra trucks for USA, Japan, Russia, ANZAC and UK, Some Me-262s I’m going to paint brown to be Su-9s, and a lot of White transports so I can set them up in Convey Zones to make them easier to see.

Wow, you did have a shopping spree! :-D

I can’t wait for the stuff to get here. I’ve already started making space for the new stuff in my plastic bens for units

That is what I do too. I lock myself in my playpen for hours. That is what my wife calls my game room, LOL. She may not see me for hours, because I’ll either be playing a game or organizing my stuff.

That’s me. I forgot there is one more thing in my order LVT-1 Tanks. I’m painting them brown to be BMP-1s
