@hengst yea i read through them again. Some cool ideas. The End Points are interesting. Kind of a Railroad type thing. For Land anyway.
Got a couple other things going, but yea, gonna check it out some more :)
If you could choose any TWO new unit sculpts, what would they be?
-
Concen… I mean… Labour camps.
POW’s…
Research Facilities.
Spies!
Radar!
-
Nukes
Banzai Infantry
-
I think that every nation would benefit from having two new infantry sculpts.
I know that the old ones are iconic, but jeez let’s live a little!
-
Heavy Infantry (with bazooka or heavy machine gun)
-
Conscripts (standing straight with rifle on shoulder; no action pose)
The current infantry sculpts are actually pretty dopey when you think about it:
German guy looks like he’s got ADD, can’t even concentrate on where he’s walking.
British / ANZAC dude looks like he’s a hunchback, or constipated.
US fella looks like he cocking a shotgun, not holding a rifle.
Italian paisan looks like he’s too lazy to aim his weapon: maybe it’s too heavy to lift?
Chinese and Frenchmen at least have the decent ‘sentry’ pose I’m proposing for the conscript unit, though they’re not remotely active looking.
Only the USSR figure, with his sub-machine gun, looks vaguely menacing, and even he looks like he’s hugging his gun rather than aiming it.
So… yeah. More infantry sculpts. Please?

@Imperious:
Light Carriers or Escort ‘Jeep’ Carriers ( CVL or CVE)
Fortification or Fortress unit

Not a comment for a new sculpt really… but I never really liked that all US fighters are P-38s. I know it is different for some versions, but overall this seems to be the case.
I always felt that the primary unit sculpt for each power should be representative of the most popular or populated class-type. Even though it is cool, and pretty recognizably American, there were more single fuselage fighters built than twin fuselage. In terms of popularity and production I think P-51s, P-47s, P-40s or even F6Fs rank higher than the P-38. Much as I love it, I don’t see it as the representative US fighter of the war.
Same goes for US carriers… Wasp! Seriously? Essex should be the sculpt hands down. If not that, then certainly Yorktown.
Wasp was underpowered, undersized and underarmored compared to all other US fleet carrier classes, plus there was only one ship in the class. -

Well, yes, if any one carrier is “representative” it would be Enterprise… but Enterprise was Yorktown class.

That’s fantastic!
-
bring back the Hellcat and a Russian Artillery (not US artillery done in russian color)

Russian artillery was fantastic. They had such an array of guns. Is wrong they do not have their own sculpt.
-
either that or Chinese P-40 and Chinese artillery.
-
I’d have to go with Escort carriers and P51’s
-
Katyushas. Radar.
-
Bunkers and POW Camps!

This issue is addressed in E40 2nd ed… New USSR artillery sculpt included!

Actually, it might be kind of cool to have some sort of leader sculpt; like a Roosevelt, Churchill, Hitler, Stalin etc…
You could move them with ships or aircraft, but if they are captured your country must save them or surrender. But your leader can be sheltered by an allied power. Or something similar… maybe an idea worth pursuing.
Just got the idea from a couple games we played where we found a Risk soldier in the game and he ended up becoming Churchill and sitting in England the whole game.

HBG sells those sculpts.
