Does HBG have a ‘offical’ color for Spanish Republicans? I have used Plum which has a good variety of land and air units but no naval. Would adding a destroyer, cruiser, and transport be possible for this color line?

The French set will come in French Blue and Plum, but it will be a while before that set is here. German set is just now in preorder stage and the Facility set is up next.

The French set will have everything, infantry, ground forces, naval and air, but like I said, it maybe a while.

John Brown

Warwick, HBG says the French set will come sometime in 2016. That is what they told me before. I’m going to assume later in 2016.

I hope that answers part of your question.

PS They are also doing the French set in a Free French Light Blue, as well.

Warwick

Thanks John. I will keep a look out for that sets release.

No problem.

Warwick, if you go to HBG’s website and look under the battle pieces on the left side of their front page and click on the country of France, checkout their picture gallery, by clicking under the picture of the French set and you will see the whole set.

It is going to be an amazing set. :-D

Maybe I missed it, but is there a 39 setup ? Or do you use the 36 setup but just jump to 39 ?

All they have ready right now is the 36 set-up, Coach (HGB) said they’ll have the 39 set-up out in a couple weeks (which hopefully means by the end of the month). Still waiting on the Anz Nation Ref Sheet BTW.

I have started to setup the units on my map (bought the 4’ x 8’), and it looks awesome. You get two, 2 sided battle boards (attack/def on opposite sides) and they are much bigger then I expected (6.5" x 20"), so there won’t be any problem fitting units on it. The tech, production, and build boards are also large and top notch too. All the player aids are made of vinyl so they won’t peel or crack like the card board ones.

I have the main powers set-up, and once I get some of the neutrals done (scavenging for units) l will try to post some pics.

Wild Bill is right, the play aids and map are really cool. If I get a chance, I will post pictures, sometime, as well. :-D

Thanks

Munck, I will try by this weekend, if possible. I’ve very busy this time of year, but I will do my best. :-)

General 6 Stars

For now.

John Brown

Thanks SS, for posting the map. :-)

Pacific

Europe.

Also if you put the Production chart and Tech chart against a metal board, the magnets stick to the stryene charts. Saves me time by not having to make a metal board with stripes and numbers .

General 6 Stars

Crusaderiv, This map I think would be better for me to use with your game. Got the low territory values and starting money is close to yours.

Munck

SS, thanks for sharing.

I assume you have the large version - it looks huge (awesome!)

If the new game mechanics are what they seem from reading the rules, it will be difficult to go back to A&A global!
