I don’t play many games F2F the closest gaming group to where I live is a little over an hour away. So most of my games are me vs. me. I do Germany’s turn one day and Russia’s the next just to keep me objective. Games go on for months. So most of the stuff I do I don’t have anyone else to consider and it’s nice looking at the board and seeing by the pieces that are on it where about in the war I’m at.
Wow, I’m in the same boat, till I met Tall Paul, but he is still 2 hours away which makes it tough to get a game in, but most of the time. I do the same thing. I’m glad, I’m not the only one. 50th Anniversary Edition takes me at least a week to play, but Global I’m sure takes a lot longer by yourself. I’m just now learning the Global Game and when I get my man cave, I will have the game set up all the time, so I can resume it any time I want, but right now, I don’t have enough room to leave it one place for very long. My wife is not that patient, LOL. :-D

I do woodworking in the summer time from my basement. So any sanding can be done outside. Winter time hits I set up Global on my Tablesaw and I’m off and going. Most of the time I get 2-3 games in a year and it’s back to woodworking. I live in Central NY so winters are very cold so I need something to do that doesn’t involve going outside.

Well in the NE part of Texas I’m in gets extreme cold and hot. My man cave is going have to be well insulated with heating and cooling. It is going to cost me a pretty penny, but when it is all said and done it will be worth it. I hope within the next 5 years, I will have enough saved to build it. I hope to at least get 5 games a year, but we shall see.
I heard the people at HBG are play testing the first 5 expansions this weekend I’m hoping to see some pics of it soon. And I was reading the other day and I had forgotten about this but Spain did send troops to fight Russia in WW2 they were called Blue Divisions.

Yes, pics would be great. Well I didn’t know about Spain sending troops to Russia. That is interesting. Well I got to call it an evening. Take care.

Every single time I set up France which is done last, I pull the pieces out and go to put the first tank on the board and go :-( oh yeah they’re Russians. So yeah being able to step back and look at the whole board and smile at how just awesomely cool it looks would be really kick ass. I hate blue Russians so much I’ve toyed with the idea of using the French units from A&A14.

Why not use a Stuart… or perhaps even a hellcat to replace that T-34?
Sure, still isn’t historically accurate, but certainly is better than France using Russian stuff.

I could but I’m trying not to buy anything for it before the French set comes out. I just keep telling myself Patience is a virtue
For me it’s really a non-issue because I buy some of everything from HBG. I like the franch blue pieces because I will use them for any number of uses. They might also be fun for a Cold War scenario so personally there are only a few things from HBG that I just don’t like or couldn’t use.

If I had the money to do it I would buy everything they put out as soon as they release it but unfortunately it’s not the case. I’m sure I could come up with something too. I do place one big order a year at taxes so maybe I’ll think about blue Americans instead of Russians.
Oh I totally understand that Yavid.
I hate to interject in the conversation. You guys are having a ton of fun and tossing around a bunch of great ideas! Just wanted to address our AWOL situation…
I wish I could say we were on vacation or something. And we did take a few days off for the Holidays. But in reality, we are so busy with day-to-day stuff we can hardly keep up with everything. Mostly my fault I think… Coach works a ton of hours on HBG after his normal 8 - 5. I swear the guy is a machine. He fills all the orders, does most of the research, and deals with the factory etc. I have an 8 - 5 as well that keeps me busy during the day and have been furiously working on AMERIKA stuff at night when I used to be here keeping up with you all. Let me tell you, a Kickstarter is a TON of work, but so worth it in the end when we can deliver a really cool game to the backers.
HBG has been expanding leaps and bounds the last couple years. We know we’re maxed out with our time but we want to do so many cool things it’s hard to hold back. Hopefully soon we can find a way to dedicate more time to HBG and less to that other “boring real life stuff” :wink: :-D

No problem. We all know your busy. We appreciate everything that you all do. We are all just excited about the future of the game and are very passionate about it.
Sincerely,
John Brown :-D

You guys have no reason to defend yourself for being AWOL like I said before it was the holidays and we all disappear every once in awhile. It’s normally what happens when you have a ton of work to do AND a ton of time you have to spend with family AND still have a ton of work to do. You guys work hard we all can tell by seeing HBG’s website and there facebook page. If you guys at HBG took any offense to it all I apologize for that. Keep up the good work I’m looking forward to seeing what 2014 brings up from you guys. And if there’s anything I can do to help you guys out all you have to do is ask.
@Variable you guys are awesome. You guys do the impossible missions where others have failed. You guys are the best “Axis & Allies arms dealer” of all time!

Well said – I agree completely.
I agree with the rest of the comments. HBG has given us so many great products you guys don’t have to explain, we all understand. I just wish I lived near by so I could volunteer from time to time to help you guys out!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Did my second ever HBG order which brings me up to owning at least one set of every color of every battle piece set they’ve done(except dark green US)…… 4 of the vinyl battle maps and a heap of custom roundels… Huh… As I was typing this I got the shipping notice! Fast service!
Any chance of some WWI bombers?
Given the one set fits all nature of the official sculpts, a Gotha or HP would be OK for all nations, maybe a set of 3 for each power would be enough to cover customized rules.
Though I’m sold on the limited number of units in 1914, I do feel there’s room for an additional long range aircraft type.
We have a WW1 set ready to go with a bomber but we have several projects in front of it.
Will there be an update to the rules for all your new markers, fortifications and other accessories, because I think I’ve almost bought everything you have as far as markers?
The latest train markers, sub pens, Atlantic bunkers and such needs rules for them. The last update was January 2013.
I certainly would appreciate if we can get an update to all your new goodies when you can. I know your busy, but I was just curious if we could get an update sometime. You guys are doing such an awesome job. Love the new Japanese marker sets.
Thanks so much for everything!
John
