@wittmann:

Hi and thanks for the news.
Could you tell me when Germany will start shipping preorders please?
As an adopted Englishman, loving the exciting new sculpts, I am as anxious to receive them as my Colonial cousins.

We are getting out the UK pre-Orders First, then finalizing the US pre-orders to get them in….then we will do the German piece.
I believe we will add the “Komet” to the set (Raider)

[John Brown]

Coach, how long will the preorder last for the US set?

[HBG]

Through the end of October to get the 2 FREE Hellcats per pack. After that just the free Extras. then no Extras.
We have not announced it yet but will soon.

Cool, I add an house rule for german raider now I might get the piece!!

Thanks Coach, I went ahead an ordered so I could get the extra hellcats. :-)

The Komet. So that is one of those merchant ship/raiders? Like the Penguin?

I didn’t know about getting 2 Hellcats per US Expansion set. Does this include those of us that already placed a pre-order a little while back?

[Witt]

Thank you for answering Coach.
But I meant the UK sets to be sent from your German office.
I have preordered the UK set, but live in England, so Germany will be dispatching them. (I thought.)
Sorry to confuse you.

Yes like the Penquin, You will receive the Hellcats from all Pre-orders through October.

I seriously doubt that HBG is talking about the OOB Hellcat from the original Pacific game and from Guadalcanal.  Not only is it a discontinued piece, which HBG lists on website as having 0 units in its remaining inventory, but it would be pretty bizarre for HBG to include OOB pieces in an HBG sculpt package.

I thought so also, but seeing as there are relatively few vehicles with the title ‘Hellcat’ and I have heard nothing of an HBG F6F I had to ask.

My friend Lucas and others,

––The F-6F “Hellcat” Fighter is prominantly listed in the first Expansion Set of Global Warfare-1939 called "Island Warfare which is due out very soon. Check it out. Who knows,….it might give you just the incentive you need to “upgrade” to GW-39. It’s time & money WELL SPENT!

I think we’re talking Hellcat TDs here fellows. Which is a favorite of mine either way.

I didn’t even think about the Hellcat Tank Destroyers! For some reason, I assumed he was talking about Hellcat Fighter planes because like Tall Paul mentioned, there will be Hellcat Fighters in the “Island Warfare” expansion set. But that set hasn’t actually been made yet so DUH! Of course it would be the Hellcat Tank Destroyers, a unit that actually exists now. That’s cool with me too. Those are neat little pieces too.

Unless there is something Coach has not been telling us… keeping a surprise in store.

While I think that unlikely, it is still a possibility until he confirms what the piece actually is.

[General 6 Stars]

Coach,

Is the G36 new map going to be exactly the same size as the G39 map?

Making 2 G39 custom gaming tables so need to know so if I get G36 map I can swap out one of the G39 maps.

[crusaderiv]

I’m curious to know how many times it takes to play the G36?
Any one tried it?

Actually is the F6F Hellcat Fighter. We are revamping our Global Expansion sets.
We also have a Jackson TD in the “Amerika” mold and will sell those on a individual basis.

[toblerone77]

WOW Coach! That’s cool! I wasn’t expecting that at all.

[crusaderiv]

Hey HBG,
what about the hawker typhoon and the Beaufighter as UK unit….
I love that beast…
