Yeah, I just put those up the other day. You guys are good!

Variable will the brown Russian sets be in stock next week or is there a delay?

I also need the maroon color as well. I need 10 of the brown and 3 of the maroon.

Also are the basic Japanese sets close to being ready?

I ordered 19 sets in all 4 colors. I cannot wait for these to come out. I think I’m more excited for the British and French sets. They look awesome.

Keep up the good work! :-D

Don’t mean to steal your thunder V. But good work again.  :-)

I just happened to check that morning and was pleasantly surprised.

@John:

There was a delay on brown. Should be in end of the month.

I also need the maroon color as well. I need 10 of the brown and 3 of the maroon.

Same issue occurred with the maroon. The factory had to rerun both colors on their error.

Also are the basic Japanese sets close to being ready?

BASIC Sets? No. Not developed yet. The EXPANSION SETS should be right after the Russians. Moulds are done.

I ordered 19 sets in all 4 colors. I cannot wait for these to come out. I think I’m more excited for the British and French sets. They look awesome.

I’m dying to see that Brit set made as well! Needed for so long…

Keep up the good work! :-D

Thanks again! :-)

Thanks Yavid! Those pieces are looking great! :-D

Guys,

––HBG’s ‘Island Warfare’ set was at the top of my list of favorite sets to produce. Obviously everyone else felt the same making it the ‘first out’ as far as expansion sets. HOORAH!
––Axis & Allies is is now ‘evolving’ in a most satisfactory way with HBG’s introduction of Global Warfare-1939 and now these Awesome Expansion Sets!

So for the Japanese Expansion sets, are we talking early April for those?

Yeah this was a top 5 pick for me as well.

I assuming that is what he meant, but he didn’t specify it to me.

Wow, this set is awesome. I’m surprised that it is called an axis minor set with the Bismarck being in it. I would think it would be called a German Expansion Set. Regardless what it is called. It is awesome! :-D

Yeah John Brown, I was a little surprised when I read the list of units. Most of the ground units and air units I think were shared by Germany with some of the minor Axis countries, with the possible exception of the Tiger I.
The ships on the other hand, well, I just couldn’t imagine the Kriegsmarine letting go of a Bismarck or Graf Zeppelin. Then again, who knows? If the war had went differently and the German Navy was able to expand a lot, perhaps there could have been a time where as a reward for being part of the Axis, Hitler might have given the gift of a Bismarck to Hungary, or a Graf Zeppelin to Romania, or a Graf Spee to Finland. At the very least, maybe they would have gotten the specs to build their own.
Of course, now that I think of it, not sure what good a navy would be to Hungary. Perhaps, had they won, Hitler would have granted Hungary a corridor through Yugoslavia to the ocean so they could build their very own naval base.
At any rate, this set has me very excited. We talked about it a little last fall, but now it looks like more of a possibility.
I do have one question: the list included a Tiger I (early war). I hate to show my ignorance here, but will these be different from the Tiger I’s already available to us from the Expansion set? If so, how are they different?

Yeah, I was wondering about the difference in the tanks because they both say Tiger I, but like you said this one says early war. I would think there would be a difference. I would hope so at least.

We are debating to put a Tiger 1 in it at all. Since these will be run with all the Axis Minor colors, we wanted to make sure that everyone had units they could use for their house rules. None of the Axis minor countries ever had a Tiger 1 but we feel we need a heavy tank. I do know we plan on putting a heavy tank in the Romania/Hungary Global Expansion Set so maybe we will take it out of this set and replace it with something else. Actually, I need to change the tiger 1 to a late model since “Kursk” will have the early model…and there are some difference, especially in the exhaust. Thoughts?

What about instead of German Tigers use the Carro Armato P 40?

Oooh! I would love to see the P-40. However, then you would have to increase the range of colors to include Italian Brown.
