Ya gotta figure the U.S. is going to get a landing craft.

[Zhukov]

Or they might have the landing craft in the navel game!

[Stojakovic]

well the dday boosters do have landing craft on the booster. So I am guessing it will be in the dday booster.

That's "naval", not navel.

[hornet69]

well you gotta figure on british airborne and french partisans

[Joisey]

I don't know about the French partisans. It's not like they were taking on the Whermacht or anything...just sneaking around doing some vandalism here and there.

Please read "DAS REICH", about the 2nd SS Panzer's journey yo yhe D-Day front and what the partisans did to them to slow them down and wreck whatever they could! Good reading and great possibilities!!!

Cutting phone lines and blowing up rail lines....like I said, vandalism.

But they weren't engaging Whermacht troops in set piece battles like the Yugoslav partisans did.

[Stojakovic]

Over due and needed.

[hornet69]

as well as a nort africa themed set

[Photoner Hawkwind]

Does anyone think the US will finally get a machinegun team?

Someone mentioned it was in set III, but I didn't see it on the complete list.

By what I've read Polish and Jewish partisans ambushed the Germans not uncommonly and attacked them in established positions sometimes in coordinated efforts w/ other partisan units. Sure they vandalized, but they did alot more. Alot of the equipment they took came from the spoils of their battles.
First-hand accounts. Here's two if you're interested.
The Warriors by Harold Zissman
War in the Shadow of Auschwitz by John Wiernicki

I'll grant you they didn't, to my knowledge, engage armor.

[horacus]

Well, we can wait a little for set 4, we have the list of set 3, some unresponded answers yet, but, HOPE TO SEE Fallschirmjaegers.

[MektonZero]

Not a machinegun team, a machinegun antiaircraft unit, Quad 50.

Here it is on a trailer
http://www.robertsarmory.com/quad.jpg

Rather a versatile unit, it could be towed as is behind a halftrack or truck, taken off the trailer and mounted on a halftrack or secured in the bed of a 2.5 ton truck still on the trailer.

Attack stats should be similar, but slightly inferior to, the Wirbelwind but will probably be a Soldier - Artillery unit instead of a vehicle mount. The M3 Halftrack mounted version was designated the M16.

[Remember-OWS-]

Ths unit, that Dr. Stranglove ask me, should have been consider too:

[MektonZero]

Nice, they went with the Half-track version.

Should fit right into a Russian OOB to fill their AA needs, the Russians had a tendency to mount a bunch of machineguns on anything that could move under its own power for local AA defense and I wouldn't be surprised if we sent them a bunch of M16s under Lend Lease.

[Domhnall101]

possibly mines and if so we would see some hobarts funnies minesweeper sherman and so on. I think I remember a chruchill with a bloody great roller on the front...

This looks really nice.

[MektonZero]

This looks really nice.

More range than a 40mm Bofors though, that's just a bit odd. :rolleyes:

[fifleche]

Cutting phone lines and blowing up rail lines....like I said, vandalism.

But they weren't engaging Whermacht troops in set piece battles like the Yugoslav partisans did.Battle of the Vercors plateau.

Uprising in paris.

Destruction of sub-pens.

All fights against the Wehrmacht. I could give you plenty more.

[FSSF]

The german 88 will be in this set.
The Canadians are getting more than one unit.

[ANTIBOMBER]

for the USA,
Amtracs......I hope

[ANTIBOMBER]

DD Sherman......each set has to have a Sherman variant
P-38
M-8 Greyhound
M-10 wolverine
M-7 Priest
Rangers
P-47..... as a ground attack Fighter-Bomber

That's a home-made card, knucklehead;)

I like that alot. Good job.

[Rauxa]

I would like to add to the many good ideas presented (I specially like the Firefly, 88 and german paratroopers) -may I add also british AND polish paratroopers?- some of the "funnies" -crab, bobbin...- the special tanks used by the british 79th division for landings (also the Sherman DD or even the DUKW, useful for river crossings). I would like also some on-board OR OFF BOARD artillery.

I do not think that landing crafts themselves should be added, but we DO need new maps for beaches and others...

[Allies_UTD]

i like it too!!!!!!!
