A comparison of the different OOB colours along with the painted Italian ship.
I think Italy stands out much better from the other nations with this colour.
Again, I used avocado green fast dry from Krylon.
Cheers
i really wanted keep it consistent with each other. i think im going to have to buy some half tracks from TT.
Good luck finding them. The Half-tracks from Table Tactics come from their Central Powers set. Last time I was checking out Fair Play Games, they were sold out of the Central Powers sets and Jack didn’t have plans to make more of them.
If you’re going to paint the pieces, then just use the Italian OOB mec units. Or use the trucks from Battle of the Bulge.
Nice pic comparing the BBs.The Littorio really blows the others out of the water!The Armada was very interested in aquiring a trio of these also,for a little twist in some naval action in the Med.

While waiting on the FMG Italian pieces that includes trucks I purchased some Russian Mechanized inf. from coach and painted them the Italian color to use as trucks in my North Africa game. They look a lot like old time trucks of the period.
Hey jim010,
Do you dullcote your OOB pieces? Their color seems to be somewhat muted, especially the French battleship. My OOB French pieces are a much brighter blue.
Might just be the light. I didn’t do anything to the OOB units.
Still waiting on these dying to get them. I hope Jeremy didn’t lose my order.

I’m still waiting for my Italians too.
Don’t worry guys, I’m sure Jeremy has your orders ready to go as soon as the Italians get here. I had him check on my order which I made WAY, WAY, WAY back in last November and he assured me it was ready to go. Just waiting on the shipment is all. So if my order, made long, long ago, is still active, surely your orders are also on file.
I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but I got a LOT of stuff comin’ to me this week. There is my order for Italian Combat Units, two different orders of new Combat Dice (including those sharp black German dice), and I have an order for the complete War At Sea: Surface Action set from Gaming Advantage which is shipping this week. Man, what a week.
Thanks for the reassurance Knp I just can’t wait to get them.

As for the map, no. The map is not the one available from HBG. It is from an entirely different game. Although, it may be available through HBG at some point. :wink:
That would be lovely :-D

Almost. Considering the MILLIONS of little men produced, there is always a possibility that in the sorting phase there may be some flux. Due to this I changed the site description to the following:
Each National Set includes the following:
Infantry (Two Sculpts - Rifle and sub-machinegun Infantry)
Artillery
Armour (Two Types - Light and Heavy)
Fighters
Tactical-bombers
Bombers
Submarines
Destroyers
Cruisers
Battleships
Aircraft Carriers
Transports
Half tracks (Armored Cars)
NEW
Commander Units
Transport Planes
Trucks
Each National set will include 150 UNITS!!
(Due to the large QTY of units included, actual quantity of each unit may vary)

So Jeremy, just out of curiosity, how many sets did you actually order be produced?
FMG do you know when HGB will get their new shipment?
