So is there any word on the French units that were announced some time ago? Love to give coach my money for those!
We are working on them, getting a lot of pieces in Late October and November, Base 1936 plus refills for Japanese, Germans, neutrals, etc
That is excellent news! I desperately want those French!
And modern units one day would be awesome!
I’m thinking of buying the Amerika game as well as some of the custom battle sculpts, as well as a few 3D printed pieces. How long do they usually take to ship? Do the 3D printed pieces take longer?
The shipping time depends on where you live. They get the orders out pretty quick it’s just a matter of how long the postal service takes to get to you. The longest wait for me to get my orders is the wait at the border as the package gets through customs. Sometimes I’m pretty sure they are opening my box and playing with my little plastic army men. If the 3D pieces are in stock then they will get to you in the same amount of time as any other piece.
If anyone has ivory and blonde color pieces from HBG can you please post a picture of a few pieces side by side. I want to see if they are close in color.
So, any updates on upcoming pieces?
Got the base set, but not happy with the colors of Japan, Russia and Italy
HBG,
I don’t know if you’re taking requests, or if this forum post is the place to leave requests, but something I’d like to see HBG do (when you all get some time) is to produce the artillery and cruiser sculpts for A&A 1941 that Avalon Hill dropped from the piece line up before 1941 came out. We know what they were supposed to be from Kreighund’s posting on sculpt sources on Larry’s board (source: http://www.harrisgamedesign.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1871&sid=13234bf586f49aa96fb97559e8a2cf78)
To save you from digging, they were going to make maroon, tan, and green USSR M1943 howitzers and UK Town class, Southampton subclass cruisers and black and burnt orange Japanese Type 96 howitzers and German Konigsberg class cruisers. It’s my belief that the following Wikipedia links point to what Avalon Hill would have been using for inspiration if they had gone ahead and made artillery and cruisers for 1941:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/152_mm_howitzer_M1943_(D-1)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town-class_cruiser_(1936)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_96_15_cm_howitzer
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6nigsberg-class_cruiser_(1927)
If HBG could make up the short fall that Avalon Hill left when they dropped artillery and cruisers from 1941’s piece line up, that would be awesome.

French set is on pre-order now!
I guess you held true to your word, given that you didn’t specify the year :p.
HBG asking for feedback on new GW1936 pieces. Looks like a general set which will have units that apply to the Axis, Allies and neutrals.
