Quick answer is that bids seem to keep going up with bids over 20 now common.
yes
just the dollar amount.
Blockhouses, bunkers, Atlantic wall fortifications

On my vote for other I would like to see a piece that represents a mine field, maybe a wooden sign, or barbed wire, I’m not sure what it would look like but I like the idea of a mine field. Also I would like to see a sand bag piece as has been mentioned on here already. This would allow house rules such as “digging in” where infantry units that have not moved the previous turn could “dig in” to get a higher defense value.

I’ll work on getting a usable pic. As for the colors, I’m looking for all the OOB colors plus the grey and cucumber from revised.
Having sets in that many colors gets expensive!
-
The other I would like to see is a pillbox or a sendbag entrenchment piece. Rules for a coastal fort and a land fort, then you cold have softer entrenchments like pillboxes
can you not use the Blockhouse for Pillbox?
-
I think that some of these territories are getting way too crowded with pieces already (even in the big 40s maps) so I’d limit it to like a heavy and a light fortification, like the blockhouse for the light, so it could be defensive, and then something like the singapore guns for heavy that could fire back.
I also like the idea of just one piece type that could be stackable for heavier defenses, no attack. As cool as more pieces are, there is something to be said for one piece that could stand for a couple things like the coastal or interior forts -
This is what we need:

I agree that the units cannot get too big, lots of units and more coming out.
IL, that is the One coastal gun I picked. -
nice
good choice.
what ever your choice is il like it -

Let’s just do the light grey to match revised/anniversary ICs and AA guns then. Universal that way.
-
yes definatly! only need that grey color
-
im going to need it in oob german

Yes to the sandbag entrenchment. The pillbox or bunker being a common unit can be white and then painted any color by the purchaser.

im going to need it in oob german
why would you need this?
Germany wasn’t the only one with gun inplacments

Also, if you attack a territory with fortifications and capture it, you can use those fortifications against the enemy like you do with ICs and air/naval bases. A good example of this is when Germany overran France, they captured the Maginot Line. Then in 1944 when the Allies were driving the Germans back, the Germans actually used the Maginot Line to good effect against the Allies. Therefore, any fortifications, gun emplacements, pillboxes, etc. should be the light grey like the ICs and AA guns. That way they can be used by any nation and it will be much easier and cheaper for coach to make them, thus quicker for him to get them to us.

yeah at first i was thinking, i would like it for my a NA for germany for the house rules my buddies and i play. but making them one generic color makes more sense for saving coach money, and it wouldn’t change our rules at all
-
and you would ent need to do that just use the grey one for your H rules
-
I am using the Coastal guns from Singapore 1942 game for fortifications. They look great on the board. I only need to buy three more to get the 15 listed in the set up. Also, aren’t the fortifications destroyed when you capture the territories they are in ? Ref to cmike post.

Alright this is a bit overly complicated but what would be kool is if you made a piece that was a seawall that had little (American) soldiers crouching in front of it. You could use this is a fortification piece or for a variant. Otherwise go with the Atlantic Wall Gun.
-
How about something Pacific Island style defense. Heavy gun peaking out of hill. Okinawa style defense system. Just a thought. A german blockhouse will look silly on Iwo Jima.
