Yes like the Penquin, You will receive the Hellcats from all Pre-orders through October.

Are we talking new HBG F6F Hellcats !!! ???
or OOB F6F Hellcats?
or HBG Hellcat Tank Destroyers?

I seriously doubt that HBG is talking about the OOB Hellcat from the original Pacific game and from Guadalcanal.  Not only is it a discontinued piece, which HBG lists on website as having 0 units in its remaining inventory, but it would be pretty bizarre for HBG to include OOB pieces in an HBG sculpt package.

I thought so also, but seeing as there are relatively few vehicles with the title ‘Hellcat’ and I have heard nothing of an HBG F6F I had to ask.

My friend Lucas and others,

––The F-6F “Hellcat” Fighter is prominantly listed in the first Expansion Set of Global Warfare-1939 called "Island Warfare which is due out very soon. Check it out. Who knows,….it might give you just the incentive you need to “upgrade” to GW-39. It’s time & money WELL SPENT!

I think we’re talking Hellcat TDs here fellows. Which is a favorite of mine either way.

I didn’t even think about the Hellcat Tank Destroyers! For some reason, I assumed he was talking about Hellcat Fighter planes because like Tall Paul mentioned, there will be Hellcat Fighters in the “Island Warfare” expansion set. But that set hasn’t actually been made yet so DUH! Of course it would be the Hellcat Tank Destroyers, a unit that actually exists now. That’s cool with me too. Those are neat little pieces too.

Unless there is something Coach has not been telling us… keeping a surprise in store.

While I think that unlikely, it is still a possibility until he confirms what the piece actually is.

Coach,

Is the G36 new map going to be exactly the same size as the G39 map?

Making 2 G39 custom gaming tables so need to know so if I get G36 map I can swap out one of the G39 maps.

I’m curious to know how many times it takes to play the G36?
Any one tried it?

Actually is the F6F Hellcat Fighter. We are revamping our Global Expansion sets.
We also have a Jackson TD in the “Amerika” mold and will sell those on a individual basis.

WOW Coach! That’s cool! I wasn’t expecting that at all.

Hey HBG,
what about the hawker typhoon and the Beaufighter as UK unit….
I love that beast…

The Typhoon is a must… but all in good time I am sure. Can’t do it all at once.

HA! BOOYA!    :-o  :mrgreen: :-P

Very excited for this!

But what exactly does revamping mean? As in you want more piece diversity? Are not happy with current molds? Either way, I am grateful for the new stuff.

Is the G36 new map the exact same size as the G39 map?

@SS:

yes, same map size.

Here is a picture of the new U.S. Set with Hellcat.
We will have better pictures in a few weeks.

Looks like the M3 will need to be smaller.

@coachofmany:

Looks like the M3 will need to be smaller.

Maybe just a little bit. If you want it to be of similar size to the Japanese and German halftracks.

It is a little hard to judge the size of the ships from this picture, but it seems like the cruiser and maybe the battleship are pretty big. Not necessarily too big, because big ships are nice, but as I said it is hard to tell.

We have been through this a number of times, but a clarification on sizes:

Is there a largest ship type in your plans? As in heavy battleships and heavy aircraft carriers are of approximately equal size and are the largest ships. With ships like the Yamato, Midway and Montana(?) being produced should other ships be smaller? It looks like that from recent sets and in this picture, but I did not know if there was an explicit sizing rule that HBG is using.

These ships are ALL OOB size plus 5% for shrinkage.
The Midway Carrier will be larger Not the Essex.
