@Yavid:

Every single time I set up France which is done last, I pull the pieces out and go to put the first tank on the board and go  :-( oh yeah they’re Russians. So yeah being able to step back and look at the whole board and smile at how just awesomely cool it looks would be really kick ass. I hate blue Russians so much I’ve toyed with the idea of using the French units from A&A14.

Why not use a Stuart… or perhaps even a hellcat to replace that T-34?
Sure, still isn’t historically accurate, but certainly is better than France using Russian stuff.

I could but I’m trying not to buy anything for it before the French set comes out. I just keep telling myself Patience is a virtue

For me it’s really a non-issue because I buy some of everything from HBG.  I like the franch blue pieces because I will use them for any number of uses. They might also be fun for a Cold War scenario so personally there are only a few things from HBG that I just don’t like or couldn’t use.

If I had the money to do it I would buy everything they put out as soon as they release it but unfortunately it’s not the case. I’m sure I could come up with something too. I do place one big order a year at taxes so maybe I’ll think about blue Americans instead of Russians.

Oh I totally understand that Yavid.

I hate to interject in the conversation. You guys are having a ton of fun and tossing around a bunch of great ideas! Just wanted to address our AWOL situation…

I wish I could say we were on vacation or something. And we did take a few days off for the Holidays. But in reality, we are so busy with day-to-day stuff we can hardly keep up with everything. Mostly my fault I think… Coach works a ton of hours on HBG after his normal 8 - 5. I swear the guy is a machine. He fills all the orders, does most of the research, and deals with the factory etc. I have an 8 - 5 as well that keeps me busy during the day and have been furiously working on AMERIKA stuff at night when I used to be here keeping up with you all. Let me tell you, a Kickstarter is a TON of work, but so worth it in the end when we can deliver a really cool game to the backers.

HBG has been expanding leaps and bounds the last couple years. We know we’re maxed out with our time but we want to do so many cool things it’s hard to hold back. Hopefully soon we can find a way to dedicate more time to HBG and less to that other “boring real life stuff”  :wink: :-D

No problem. We all know your busy. We appreciate everything that you all do. We are all just excited about the future of the game and are very passionate about it.

Sincerely,

John Brown :-D

You guys have no reason to defend yourself for being AWOL like I said before it was the holidays and we all disappear every once in awhile. It’s normally what happens when you have a ton of work to do AND a ton of time you have to spend with family AND still have a ton of work to do. You guys work hard we all can tell by seeing HBG’s website and there facebook page. If you guys at HBG took any offense to it all I apologize for that. Keep up the good work I’m looking forward to seeing what 2014 brings up from you guys. And if there’s anything I can do to help you guys out all you have to do is ask.

@Variable you guys are awesome. You guys do the impossible missions where others have failed. You guys are the best “Axis & Allies arms dealer” of all time!

Well said – I agree completely.

I agree with the rest of the comments.  HBG has given us so many great products you guys don’t have to explain, we all understand.  I just wish I lived near by so I could volunteer from time to time to help you guys out!!!  Keep up the good work!!!

Did my second ever HBG order which brings me up to owning at least one set of every color of every battle piece set they’ve done(except dark green US)…… 4 of the vinyl battle maps and a heap of custom roundels… Huh… As I was typing this I got the shipping notice! Fast service!

Any chance of some WWI bombers?

Given the one set fits all nature of the official sculpts, a Gotha or HP would be OK for all nations, maybe a set of 3 for each power would be enough to cover customized rules.

Though I’m sold on the limited number of units in 1914, I do feel there’s room for an additional long range aircraft type.

We have a WW1 set ready to go with a bomber but we have several projects in front of it.

Will there be an update to the rules for all your new markers, fortifications and other accessories, because I think I’ve almost bought everything you have as far as markers?

The latest train markers, sub pens, Atlantic bunkers and such needs rules for them. The last update was January 2013.

I certainly would appreciate if we can get an update to all your new goodies when you can. I know your busy, but I was just curious if we could get an update sometime. You guys are doing such an awesome job. Love the new Japanese marker sets.

Thanks so much for everything!

John

Check out this site: http://www.wargamereport.com/

They have rules for all the HBG stuff. I think it’s a site from one of the playtesters.

Thanks Yavid! I like that site, but it has only a fraction of the rules. HBG has made a ton of markers that have no rules since the last update and that is why I asked if they were going to do a rules update., but appreciate you showing me it. :-)

Well I hope that site helps with atleast some of the pieces and markers.

It does. I have printed out what rules they do have. I hope someday, they will have every marker, fortification and accessory rule on the site. That would be a big help for all variant global players.

I know how you feel I’ve been looking for some good rules for the SS and can’t seem to find them. I might have to wait until HBG does there partisans set

I also bought all 4 marker sets of the SS divisions. We need all the variant rules for everything. That is my plea, because the last time they had an update on HBG’s site was last January, and they have made tons of things since then.
