HBG says, it will be awhile. They say they can’t give us a date, at this point. Many people on their website have asked about it, but they say they don’t know at this time.

Sorry, this is all they told me.

3 More years and we’ll be in the “advanced prototype” phase!

Actually, they seem to be a lot further along than that.  The latest HBG Newsletter, which I received a few minutes ago, says that the set below is a 3D-printed versions of the units, and that they are about to be sent off for mastering so that the production process can begin.

Very Nice  :-D

And just to add a bit of detail, the HBG Newsletter said: “We have started on the French Set, I have 3d printed the pieces except for the Infantry pieces. Please take a look. I will soon send them off to get the real masters started and the process begins. This set will be done in Blue, Plum, Light Blue, White and a surprise color for a surprise GW1936 Expansion.”

Oooh, I’m sure the French will love to go to battle in some spiffy Plum-colored uniforms!

I thought that the French preferred clean white uniforms that they could quickly improvise into flags of surrender! :-D
