    Which scale are these units? Is it the same as original AA pieces?
    The infantry looks bigger than the original AA infantry on the picture.

    The troop piece in the middle (right behind the plane) looks like an out-of-the-box sculpt; if so, the HBG Marines do indeed seem a bit taller and their round base (which on the OOB pieces fit into the round middle part of the game’s mini poker chips) seems to have a larger diameter.  It’s hard to be sure from the picture, though.

    I believe the height and diameter of the base are sized to more closely match the E/P40 pieces. The older pieces were just a tad smaller on both of these dimensions.

    I will post pictures Friday when they come in so you can compare.
    They were approved as the same scale but when you deal with outside sources, things do happen.
    One of my colors were incorrect after approval and now they are redoing the Olive Drab color for Marines.
    I will let you decide if they are good enough for your collection, and I pray that they are. I have paid for 3 molds and pieces without any return so far, money is tight!
    I should have pics of the US complete set next week (Preproduction)
    Thanks again for everybody’s support!

    They look great.  I know your pains more than anyone.

    Keep up the good work!

    This is why an acrylic sheet over the game board is useful – it keeps the map from getting wet in these situations.

    Weren’t the Axis Minors supposed to come out before the Marines?  Is there a problem with the Axis Minors?

    Matching 6 colors, one is not correct, so delayed the production.
    They will follow in 4 weeks.

    So we will be able to place orders for the dark green Marines this Friday?


  • Variable you just gave me some relief. i forgot that the older pieces were smaller, so the pieces heights will be closer than i though
