Hogans Hero’s drum intro?

I recognize the opening shot of the kids and the flag. It’s from the opening of Frank Capra’s movie “War Comes to America”, film #7 of the Why We Fight series.

Affirmative

Looks like potential for a great alternate history game here. Any word on release date or info on sculpts, map, rules, etc?

Details are still a secret. We will be posting updates periodically. As for release, we aim to have something tangible this fall. Stay tuned!

Awesome!

Nahh……I dont like the plot
Hitler would never attack USA, he loved the way they treated the redskins, and he would need like 10 years to build enogh ships to sail over there.
On the other hand, he would more likely have turned on the Japanese. Yes, he had a pact with Japan, but so did he with Stalin too.
So I think IMHO “Bloodbath 1950” would be a better choice, 3 players all against all. Nazi Empire, Japanese Empire and USA. No alliances allowed, fight to the dead. Survival of the fittest combat force. Man I would love that game.

Hitler is not leading that attack. That Honor is granted to Quisling as political Gauleiter of the Amerika Expedition.

I always figured Klaus Barbie was the best man to that job

I think Otto Skorzeny would be a better choice. :wink:

yea he was still active till his latter years.
But the map is too small 20 x 30? what?

A little curious about other Axis sculpts. Assuming they will be advanced weaponry with all the resources at the Axis disposal, especially Germany.
So what might we look forward too?
Advanced tanks, like an improved King Tiger that was perhaps faster than and more mechanically reliable than the historical version?
New jet fighters? Something more advanced than even the Me262?What about the Japanese? While the Germans were very big on improved weaponry, the Japanese not so much. Most Japanese weapons saw little or no improvement during the war. Then tended to think that the training and “fighting spirit” of their soldiers, pilots and sailors was superior enough to overcome Allied troops and even their own equipment inadequecies.

Allies:
There will be late war items even mixed in with some British units. The Allies will not be as advanced but still have late war units, jets, late war tank such as a Centurion possibly.Japan:
You are correct that the Japanese did not develop the weaponry near as much as Germany, but you did see the Shinden jet we have unveiled. The Shinden was developed with a flying prototype by the end of the war but with a prop, the jet engine was not finished. There will be some late war units and you will see either the G10N or Ki-97 Bomber as well as late war tanks.Germany:
The sky is the limit here. We have already shown the Ho XVIIIB2 Bomber on our facebook page. We are assuming that the Germans want a proven tank as easy to fix during the Invasion, you could see some E Series tanks and several vehicles based on the Panther Chassis.
German jet will be more advanced than the Me-262.All Soldiers will be like Greman Grenadier, SNLF Japanese Marine, and a Special unite Allied Unit.
All units will have SP Artillery and SP Anti-Air Units, of course…late war.
Hope this helps.

Oh man, this sounds really cool. I forgot about the E series tanks. The Germans did manage to make a couple of the E-100 that were used in the final defense of Berlin. The rest were still prototypes I think. Now I’m really looking forward to seeing what all is in this game.
This kind of sounds like a WW 2 version of Fortress America. I actually tried that out once using A&A pieces on the Fortress America board. It was kind of fun. I’m sure yours will be much more thoroughly thought out in regards to rules, victory conditions, etc. Mine was pretty simple and probably had vast holes in it.

Here is the Panzergrenadier for Germany!

Great!

@Imperious:
Great!
I just fainted! :wink:
Thanks IL, we are adding a Para Submachine gun to your Mummy, I will post it on the Japan set when ready. -
Overall the Panzer Grenadier is EXCELLENT!! However, you are clearly modeling a late war uniform and laced boots would be more correct. Even though some troops did have jackboots right up to the end, the vast majority of troops were issued lace ups by this time in the war. That’s a minor thing though.
