RE: USSR supplement set
Personally, I’d like to see a USSR Supplement set (ie, not Early War), allowing a basic ground and naval soviet set in maroon (or red, just not brown). I’d much rather see that than yet more Japanese carriers and British bombers.

RE: HBG - Axis & Allies Parts/Accessories and Custom Piece Sets Store!
I don’t understand the decision to go away from an already-established special forces pose. The US, German, and Japanese units are standing static and helmeted. In contrast, the UK unit is starting forward, with a beret, and visually has more in common with the early war German/Axis infantry

RE: New Global War Expansion Sets need voting on.
While I didn’t vote for the Zombie Apocalypse add-on, because it is not what I want from this game, I do think someone can (will) make money by producing a fun game on this subject. I don’t think A&A rules are the right way to do it, however.

RE: Churrca Destroyer in the proposed French set
It was a Spanish make.
I suggest the Hardi Class.

RE: HBG - Axis & Allies Parts/Accessories and Custom Piece Sets Store!
I hope with the Japanese set and HBG’s new production methods, that there will be more consistency with the shape and size of infantry pieces.
HBG has produced some excellent infantry pieces (the Early War German and the US Airborne, as examples), but some other pieces have been less excellent (the very skinny German Fallschirmjäger and the hefty US Marine), or even unusable from my perspective (the gigantic Early War Russian).
However, I really appreciate the consistency HBG has applied to the poses (paratroopers/special forces, for example), and applaud its continuance with the SNLF unit.
I’d like to chime in with the suggestion that HBG add two more infantry poses:
- Kneeling with caps or slouch hats (no helmet) for Irregular/Guerilla units - like the Fortress America partisan unit.
- Brandishing pistols for Commander or Police units - like FMG’s Italian commander unit.
Glad you offer your products - look forward to future purchases!

RE: HBG WW1 Set
You really think this is complicated?
1. There is “OOB blue”, which replicates the AAGlobal color for French pieces.
2. There is HBG’s own “light blue”, which offers another shade of blue.
Despite whatever you perceive on your computer screen, those two shades are distinctive enough to use both on a gameboard and NEVER confuse them. I think the typical plan is to use one shade for Vichy troops, one for Free French.3. The AA14 shade of blue is somewhat darker than AAGlobal. Obvious at a glance, but not enough that you could put both shades on a gameboard and call them different armies. Not unlike like difference between AAGlobalv1 Italian and Russian pieces. Even among my AA14 French set, the cruisers are notably lighter than the rest of the pieces, though still not the same shade as AAGlobal French.

It doesn’t look like a mummy. Looks fine.

RE: Things I want to buy from HBG
Russia (in maroon) and especially France need help.
