It depends on what “work” means – in other words, on whether players would consider a Kursk scenario appealing. Conceptually, Kursk would be similar to A&A D-Day (minus the water) in the sense that the battle was fundamentally a frontal assault on a heavily-defended static position, and similar to A&A Battle of the Bulge in the sense that it would involve ground forces driving into enemy lines, but different from both games in the sense that from the German point of view Kursk was a pincer movement aimed at pinching off a salient, and that from the Russian point of view it was a two-stage offensive-defensive battle. Personally I think it has good potential to make an interesting game, if it’s designed properly.

Not exactly clear on the site, no piece count per price, but seems straight forward… But to doublecheck; $4 for one Japanese tank? $3 for a Bren, etc…? price per piece then, eh…

Yeah I was also confused about this, it should be more clear on the site how much you’re getting for your money
-
It is price per piece.
They are expensive due to limited qty. Price was set by WorldsForge.
-
Wow! Really? 3 bucks each for planes and artillery? 4 bucks for guns and tanks? buying 6 tanks would almost be enough to get you a copy of Spring 1942!
-
@Brain:
Just buy another copy of the game.
Yes… DO !!!
These are for either complimenting your existing Field Command Game OR for use as optional or expansion parts in AAA.

What do you think is a decent price for these units? I may ask WorldsForge to lower the retail price.
If the price was lower would you get some of these units? If so, what units?
Thanks for any input.

I could buy the Japanese artillery and tank, the ANZAC infantry with artillery and Bren Gun and stop. They are unique pieces to replace those of Global… imho.

World’s Forge was willing to do a special run for me of the Bren Carriers, color matched to the UK A&A 1940 colors. I just need to order 200-300 pieces.
Any interest here? Figure $2 a piece.
-
Colorwise, how do the Japanese units compare to their A&A Chinese Counterparts?

The Japanese units are darker Green than the Chinese units.
-
Would I be able to pass off some artillery and a fighter?
-
I think so, they are close.
-
Croesus, a better alternative would be lime green UK units from A&A Revised. Get them from coachofmany’s site: www.historicalboardgaming.com
They are a near perfect match.

Good to know

$2 a piece is still a lot, and 200-300 pieces? Thats a MINIMUM of $400
