Factory sculpt color

@Red:

this might have beem mention but why not make a simple set of free French by just making regular A&A or an orginal scupt Inantry, US Shemans, 105 Howitzers and/or M-7 Priest, M-3 Half tracks and Brit Spitfires and Maquitoes all in light blue.  nice and simple. The Free French were mostly US made equipment anyway and HBG dosn’t make these in this color.

HBG has available its Allies Supplement set in Light Blue (http://www.historicalboardgaming.com/HBG-Battle-Pieces–Allies-Supplement-set-Light-Blue_p_1132.html), and I think it’s also planning to produce the same set in OOB French dark blue in the near future.

Here’s an interesting pic. One complete set of Axis Minors in each color now available to us. Quite a colorful mix, don’t you think?

If you’re going for Amerika Bombers, why not also consider the HE277, JU-390 (ooo, six engined), or the TA-400.  Also, the HE-274 would be appropriate.

I think just the one should do.  A Marine with a flamethrower would be a good addition to this set, but that would be a more specialized piece and you wouldn’t need as many of those as you do regular infantry.

im just happy there is someone who is making OOB type pieces scale, color, and detail. and someone that listens to request and has poles to gain input on what to sell.

I like IL’s suggestion of light yellow for the Spanish.

I was just scrolling down the thread to suggest turquoise for the Turkish (I had suggested for the Australians in the past before grey became the established colour for them) when I saw that Redking beat me to it. :-D Anyway, I do think it would be a good idea, if not for the Turkish then at least for another nation.

In relation to Red, I think I should point out that the FMG Soviet pieces will match the FMG Soviet dice, which are solid red and not reddish-brown.

While we are discussing colours, maybe we could suggest a list of possible remaining colours for HBG pieces, if more are needed (some of these have been suggested here previously):

Dark Grey-Green
Orange-Red (different enough to distinguish from FMG Soviet Red and OOB/FMG Japanese Orange, as necessary)
Yellow-Orange
Turquoise
Dark Navy Blue
Pale Grey-Blue
Pale Orange
Dark Yellow (but as dull as possible)

I would prefer to avoid bright and/or neon colours, together with pink and purple (although a dark or grey-ish purple might work if one was desperate for a new colour).

I second IL’s thoughts - Italy is a no-brainer, and the next nation should definately be Germany. The interest in German pieces is immense, and should carry some weaker nations (I think Russia will be the weakest - unless you come up with that piece I mentioned :wink:)

_Red for UK? Uh, we aren’t fighting in the colonial period here.

I think Khaki/Tan is a perfect color for UK._

You right……tan = UK.

Italy = red.
Germany = grey.
