Guys,
––This game looks like a winner on many counts, and the super-detailed units are only one part of that. :-D
----On the other hand,…it’s just what I need. Another hundred or so units to be painted. Like they say, I need these like I need another hole in my head. :-o But I MUST HAVE THEM! haha
“Tall (hole-headed) Paul”
@Tall Paul , yep it does look like a good game. I’m always wondering about pieces though. If we took a poll I would bet that I’m one of top ten for buying HBG mini’s. I have 5-20 pieces of every piece and almost every color just about. I’m working on making a D6 rule set that incorporates every HBG battle piece from trucks to those fortunate enough to have some old Table Tactics supplementals they’re willing to paint.
I do believe I’d have to yeild to you, Warmachine Team and IL for piece count though my friend. As far as HBG goes though they literally are living my dream since I was about fourteen and wanted more pieces for my MB edition A&A game.
toblerone,

––Well, I truly believe the Amerika game will be a winner for HBG.
––A D6 “rule set” as you call it certainly IS doable as I worked many hours on one myself,….IMHO it is easier to accomplish adding all of the new UNIT TYPES if you move to a D12 system. It allows several of the Attack/Defend factors to blend much better,…has fewer ‘compromises’,…, and generally is simpler. You might consider adopting a D12 system yourself. The only expense is simply some new dice and HBG has plenty of them in stock and they don’t cost much at all.
––I’m honestly not into “comparisons” of what someone has or doesn’t have. I simply enjoy sharing what I have with others and get a lot of enjoyment from others doing the same. Personally, I don’t think bragging or egos serve any useful purpose. Don’t get me wrong,….I’m certainly NOT saying that about you,….I just don’t want anyone mistakenly thinking that about ME. I’m just a guy who LOVES THIS GREAT GAME CALLED AXIS & ALLIES and interacting and learning from others who suffer the same affliction, haha.
----You know, other than their producing some EXCELLENT new units/sets, and having almost EVERYTHING you could ever want as far as A&A gaming supplies,…I’ve found that the quality that I most appreciate from HBG is their EXCELLENT SERVICE and GENUINE CONCERN that the customer is satisfied. Thanks again Doug, HBG’s “Coach”.

I hope after Amerika we might see a hypothetical invasion of Japan even just a map would do. The thing I love about the Axis & Allies series is the what if situations. If I knew what I was doing I’d make my own map and print it.
Is the game going to have all the sculpts already included or will it be separate purchases?
Yes, the game will be a complete boxed game like you buy off the shelf.

Thanks Variable. I’m glad to hear that. I really like the games and maps you guys put out, but I was somewhat concerned that it might be like Cold War or Global War. Both are great games but personally I just don’t have the resources to get all the parts I would need /want to play properly. Like old Table Tactics stuff for Cold War. I have some of those pieces but I don’t think I have enough.
In any case Amerika looks great. I’m a definate buyer for that. I buy a lot of HBG stuff even got to talk to Doug for a minute on the phone. In my world you guys are rock stars.
Whatever the cost, I will be buying one of these!
What is the probable price?

We are looking into fixing that problem. How would you feel about an HBG Modern Set? :-D

OH MY LORD YES!!! I would love a modern set!!! Huey and Hip helicopters would be a must. Just ask and I could give you a list. If you guys did make one I’d go for a Soviet and Western Powers set.
Where can I pre-order? LOL
Variable,
Any naval units in this game? Looks like a perfect game to show case a German Z Plan fleet and Allied CVs Midway, Malta, Battleships Montana and Vanguard and IJN A-140 and A-150 Battleships.

Not in the basic game. However, we have expansion set concepts and, once it hits Kick Starter, who knows… money talks. :evil:
Variable,
Any idea when it will go to Kick Starter?

2 weeks before Gencon, around August 1
Just released the list of Japanese pieces for your consideration… :-D :-D :-D This is such a cool list. :evil:
I noticed that today. Another round of excellent choices!
Couple questions to Variable and Coach If you can answer them without divulging too much info:
1. Will the Allies have a comparable set of units? In other words will it be like; Germany and Japan have bombers, tanks, etc., will the Allies have the same type of units as well?
2. Is production of Amerika entirely dependent on Kickstarter for funding? Or is Kickstarter just to get the project on the shelf more rapidly?
I’m anticipating the success of this game a lot. I know that it takes a tremendous work to produce a game, I’m just wondering if this game is pretty much ready to hit the shelf.
1. Will the Allies have a comparable set of units? In other words will it be like; Germany and Japan have bombers, tanks, etc., will the Allies have the same type of units as well?
The Allied list will be announced before the end of the week!
2. Is production of Amerika entirely dependent on Kickstarter for funding? Or is Kickstarter just to get the project on the shelf more rapidly?
Since I try my best not to speak in absolutes… AS OF NOW, we must depend on the Kickstarter campaign to fund the game. The initial cost behind producing a boxed game is huge. That said, Coach seems determined to do what it takes to see this project through. We will of course need YOUR HELP to make it happen. Nothing will be produced in it’s final form until we know the Kickstarter is going through. However, all the 3D molds, maps, rules, etc will be done so we can show it off at GenCon etc.
Count me in for at least one copy. Small game publishers should always be supported.

All the 3D Models will be completed, NOT the molds.
