LHoffman-
Feel free to use the stickied HBG thread for this. I think it’s a good place. We read it daily.
Ah, did not know that was its purpose… thank you Variable.
Next FMG SET
-
My vote went to Japan, let’s have the axis powers completed first, then move on to the Allies.

France after UK.
-
Well, count me in for a UK set then. And definitely count me in for a French set.
Richelieu for a BB!
Oh yeah, the French BB definitely has to be the Richelieu. A while back, I was heavy into building models, my favorites were 1/350 scale battleships. So far, I have the USS Missouri, the Bismarck, the Yamato and the HMS Prince of Wales. I saw a 1/350 scale Richelieu somewhere, but they wanted over $200 for it. That was just too much for me.

here is one for just 69.99 -
FMG, KGV Battleships, Excellent choice. A minor modification and you can have Pre-WWII RN Lion Class Battleships that never where built. What are looking at producing for UK Armor and Artillery? I would like to see a Crusader III and Comet or Churchill V for the UK. Artillery 5.5 Howitzer or British 25lber Field Gun.

WARRIOR888,
I totally agree with you on the Crusader for one of the British Armor sculpts. That was a really cool tank. As for the second, I would probably vote for the Churchill. I like the 25 pounder field gun too.militaryman077,
Thanks for the link to that eBay listing. With shipping it would be nearly $100, but that’s still way better than I priced this model before. I don’t usually like to get stuff from China, but I may make an exception in this case. Anyway, thanks again. -
Go for japan!!!
But if FMG choose UK. Let go for one of kind piece.
Liner ships!!!Yes.yes, Liner ships…Most of liner were used to transport infantry and materials.
Move 3, att = 0. Def = 2, may transport 4 infantry. (Cannot be used for amp.assault) -

I voted for Russia after UK. I just want to see that armor for Russia. Artillery piece with the tracks on it. Russians in winter garb and the Zhukov piece. Count me in.

Their second armor piece should be Katyusha rockets! Those would be SWEET!
-
UK should be removed from the poll, as FMG is doing them next anyway. This poll should read ‘after UK’

[/quoteOk, Jim. It’s done. All votes have been reset to zero and let’s do it again.

Didn’t know you reset the poll. I voted again and still chose France. Even though I am very curious to see what units FMG will come up with for Japan and Russia, I still really want to see France get their own equipment. Also curious to see how close FMG’s French blue comes to the OOB color.
Hey DFWSupertrooper,
I would like to see the Katyusha rockets too, but I don’t think they would fit as an armor piece. Plus, Russia has so many tanks to choose from. Katyusha Rockets are more of an artillery piece, but not sure if FMG would want to make it their artillery piece. Perhaps this one should be left to HBG as a mobile artillery piece in his Russian supplement set. -

Hey guys, something else just occured to me. Technically, ANZAC shouldn’t be in this poll either because I’m pretty sure FMG will be making ANZAC and Canada right after United Kingdom. Reason being, both of them will be the same sculpts as UK but in different colors so those sets will move along much quicker since they don’t have to create new sculpts and molds for them. Makes sense to me. ANZAC and Canada did use mostly British equipment. Some of the infantry might have looked different and I think the Aussies had a unique fighter, but you don’t want to bother with creating a whole new mold for just a couple of pieces. That would be way too expensive and take much longer.
So, the only choices for after UK should be Russia, Japan, France and the Commons Set. -
You’re right KNP. I say scrap this poll completely … it’s pretty innacurate.
-
It would be nice to see the “Boomerang fighter” in the anzac set though……
-
Well, the poll shows one thing: that we would be happy no matter what is the next set after the British.
Looks like the lineup is gonna look like this after the british: France Russia japan

FMG could simply make a special ANZAC and Canadian Infantry in the UK mold. Then FMG could print that mold in three colors and sell it as a Commonwealth/UK Allies Set.

I don’t think that would work. FMG sets have two different infantry sculpts per set. If you added ANZAC and Canadian infantry, you would have 6 infantry slots. That would mean other units would be substituted, probably the units that we get 12 each of since those take up 2 slots in the mold (submarines, destroyers, transports, fighters, artillery, mech inf ). Therefore we would only get 6 of each of some of those units.
Or, are you suggesting just ONE infantry sculpt for UK, ANZAC and Canada? I suppose that might work for the mold. Then you wouldn’t have the 2nd UK sculpt for any sort of special forces that you might want to incorporate into your game.
Personally, I think FMG should stick to their current way of making these pieces and not try changing things around on certain sets just to fill specific piece requests. It’s much simpler and more cost effective this way. -
In regards to JAPAN / CHINA etc….
I would like to complete the sets for Europe FIRST, so people can start to make complete games / variants etc…
We also want them done so people can expand on the great Maps HBG has been coming out with.
In addition, once production is running smoothly, we want to co-ordinate sets with HBG and release like sets.
