  They must be ready since I have several sets of them already.

how come the axis minor arent ready?

Apologies... Looks like the individual pricing for the minors isn't ready just yet. I would give it another day or two.

[coachofmany]

They are all fixed and ready to sell! Come get them!!!

[Tall Paul]

Yep,

HBG has it's "Axis Minors" units available at individual pricing. I added some more of some specific units myself. Thanks again, HBG.

Received a bunch of the Axis Minors and they look great! I especially like the infantry with panzerfausts. Now I am wondering what paint scheme to use on them or to just leave them as they are.

hey Variable, i was wondering if you knew if HBG was going to use the seafoam green color for  HBG's suppliment set, i think it would be good for India

I will match The UK and ANZAC color from OOB for sure. I want to do India and Canada, possibly the green from Revised and blonde from Dday. We will poll as the time get close!

[Lunarwolf]

i thought you were going to match up with FMGs Canadians color.

i thought you were going to match up with FMGs Canadians color.

This is a new wrinkle from FMG, I need to decide what is best for HBG, I have had a Canadian color that I paint for people well over a year and I cannot keep changing colors, it is not fair to my customers and is expensive for me. I will look into it as I approach that mold.

[Lunarwolf]

well i personally love  the forest green for Canada, so if you keep it i would gladly buy them. would they be more of a complete set though? like bombers and such or are you going to suggest using the painted Canadians and just supplement them?

The first set would be a supplement like my others, I would come around and complete the set on my second set for Canada, South Africa, ANZAC, , and India (Far East Command)

I personally perfer u to color mAtch FMG canadiAn dice. It would give gamers the most options for unit choices. 

[Lunarwolf]

if HBG is planning to do a complete set that works their global 1939 game. I'd rather see that, from the pictures the Fmg Canadian dice looks to close to OOB American pieces. so if HBG does their Canadian Forest green color as a whole set it would be great.

@ Coach - A few questions regarding the upcoming sets, and ideas for clarifications regarding the information recently added to HBG's online store:

France - Although the current paragraph with the basic information for France (such as colours) is correct, the actual list of colours (and list of units) appears to be a repeat of the Polish/Dutch/neutral information. I imagine this will soon be corrected, but I suppose it's as good a time as any to ask if there have been any decisions regarding unit types (and/or specific classes) for France at this stage? Alternatively, will there be any community polls for suggestions?

Japan - I see that there is currently no information available under Japan's entry in the HBG store, as there is for France. My above questions regarding any current unit choices and/or classes are posed for Japan as well.

USSR (early) - The Soviet pieces from FMG will not match the OOB maroon/reddish-brown colours, but will match the FMG Soviet Combat Dice, which are flat red. The colour difference is nearly as striking as the black-to-gray German colour change, although there has been surprisingly no discussion on the issue at all (very unlike the case of Germany). You have already announced red as one of several colours for your own Soviet pieces (intended for Communist Chinese forces); will this red colour come close to the red colour of the future FMG Soviet pieces? Personally, I prefer the red colour choice of FMG for Soviet pieces anyway...

Finally, if demand is high enough, will there be any further US or German sets? I would personally like to see a modern BB for the US (maybe South Dakota class), together with a modern CV (Essex class), late-war heavy tank (maybe M-26 Pershing), and maybe a jet fighter tech piece. Germany could perhaps use a CVL/CVE (Seydlitz/Wesser), plus a OOB-replacement Panther for aesthetic purposes (a Jagdpanther would be nice as well, perhaps). It might also be nice to see each nation with one freighter/transport and one tanker, )for possible oil transport rules) which is currently not the case for either the US or Germany.

Hey coach, I have one further question.  Will there be an Italian supplement set?  I see all the other major countries getting a supplement set and I was wondering if Italy will be getting one?
