@Variable:

Here are a couple of pics I took next to the OOB pieces.

Awesome. Thanks Variable.

Those Katyusha’s are bad ass!

I’ve been waiting since Classic to have Katyushas Thank you HBG

Here’s a couple of pics.
First, OMG! Look at the MASSIVE Red Army! Regular units and Guards.
Next is all four colors available. I find the Plum interesting. Kind of makes me wish I played a Spanish Civil War varient just so I could use them.

My goodness.  This lets me imagine how the Germans at Stalingrad must have felt when they saw the Russian armies surrounding the city.

very Nice!

That Purple is freaking me out…

I’m waiting for the French set in the purple. It’s being done in the same purple, right?

I’ve just noticed that HBG’s battle pieces index page has been given an improved look.  In addition to the three traditional “In Production” / “Design Stage” / “Wish List” category pictures, it now also shows 12 national roundels which can be clicked to bring you to a particular national subcategory.

Yes it is.

What? in Purple? why?

Blue and light blue right?

everytime I check out HBG i check out the wish list section and :( there’s never anything there

The French set will be blue, but it will also come in a purple variant (as did the maroon Russian set) for use as Spanish Civil War units.  The Spanish Republican roundel has a purple dot at the centre.  The French and Russians both sent volunteer units to fight in the war in the International Brigades on the Republican side.

What would like to wish for?

@Variable:

What would like to wish for?

Speaking for myself, the answer (given that the French set – the set I’m most eager to see – is already being designed) would be: an all-infantry ANZAC set to replace the troop sculpts we got in Pacific 1940(2), with their excessive height, too-large base diameter and unsatisfactory hats.

I have two things on my wishlist:

1. Ability to purchase individual units from the Russian set. I want more katyushas!
2. A release date for the Japanese set. I’m itching to fix the paint jobs on my Japanese units who were my first paint job, and look horrific in comparison to my newest units and would like to incorporate your awesome upgrades.

First $1 million in unmarked bills… a 1967 shelby mustang (Ellenor)… I have the hot blonde so moving away from that… oh and to be a rock star (insert song here)

Seeing as I doubt I’ll get those. How about a little grey capital markers, kick ass little Kermlin and Riechstag. A UK set with a two engine bomber, a US set with the long tom artillery, French pieces that are well French, a KV-1 piece, oh and can you guys offer a Neutral set that has 12 white inf., 4 ivory inf., 3 little grey inf. and 4 orange inf. and finally a ANZAC set. After all that and my head stops spinning from all the cool little army men I have time to think of what’s missing from there.

oh and a machine with the abilitie to fast forward and rewind time.

or am I asking to much?

@Yavid:

No. You did not ask anyone to be brought back from the dead, or to fall in love. You got the girl, that is the tricky part.

EPIC RED JAPS!

Aw, Hell no!
