HBG, you mentioned there was one duplicate to FMG's set; the Grumman TBF Avenger, right? Isn't the GMC Truck also the same as FMG's truck? Of course, since you will be using the OOB Olive color and FMG will be matching their combat dice, both items will kind of be different. Plus, I don't know any alternate US trucks anyway.
I can always do a Mack truck! Most people want the GMC. |

How about the flying tiger for the Chinese fighter? If this has been brought up I apologize.

The list shows a P-40 for a early war fighter and they were used by the Flying Tigers. |

I would like to put in a request for a landing craft as well. The LCM 3 to be exact. I think the D-Day landing craft is a piece that needs to be made and I'm surprised that neither your or FMG has announced an intention to do so. Please make the landing craft!

I have to say I like the landing craft idea too. The Table Tactics one never did it for me...

+1 for the LCM idea, however much smaller than the Table Tactics version...

Gents, I would eventually like to have all three, LST, LCM and LVCP. Think of the invasion only Game like D-Day, it could be modified where all Overlord forces must arrive via landing craft. Think what German Panthers and 88mms could do to a landing force in that game if all Allied forces are transported to the beaches via landing craft.
LST transports 3 units per craft
LCM transports 2 units per craft
LVCP transports 1 unit per craft
Landing craft have a defense factor of 1 or 0?
Embarked units are lost if the landing craft is sunk.
Embarked units have a 0 defense factor
If this is the wrong place for this suggestion please let me know.

HBG is making an LVT in the US Marines set. Isn't that a type of landing craft?
I'm a little unfamiliar with the landing craft terms. What are LST, LCM and LVCP? Is one of those also called a "Higgens Boat"? If so, which one and what are the other two?

For those who want to know here is the USN type of Landing craft. This will clear up the acronym use by us retired Military types for everyone else.
LSD- Dock Landing Ship
LST-Tank Landing Ship
LCM- Mechanized Landing Craft
LCVP-Vehicle Personnel Landing Craft
LSM- Medium Landing Ship
LCPL-Large Personnel Landing Craft
LSM(R)-Medium Landing Ship Rocket
LCU-Utility Landing Craft
LPD-Amphibious Transport Dock
Higgins Boat requires more research, more to come. Cheers

The plans are to make them, but we will see how sales go, I have not taken any money and I am working on my third mould. (Very Expensive) Axis Minor set is projected for me to have pieces for sale on Aug 5. |
