1939-45 Question

[NYYankees356]

Is this new set coming out actually a new set, or is it just old miniatures thrown in to new boosters? Is it new stat cards or old stat cards? Pretty much is it a new set symbol or just old set symbols mixed in together? I'm curious to know so that I can either order a case or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to all who answer!!!

I guess you could call it a "Best Of" set. All of the units in "39-45" are from the first five sets. Threre will be a total of 60 units in this release. Some have been recosted; many get a new paint job. I'm not exactly sure about the stats. I believe almost all the stats will remain the same {Don't quote me on that!}.

Ok, but I guess what I am asking is if the stat cards will read ##/60, or will they be the old ones like ##/45, ##/48, etc.? I figure that if they say ##/60 then it means it is a new set, technically.

Hmmm....that's a good question.

I would think the set would have it's own numbering system. It could lead to some confusion. The Tiger 1 is #40/48 in the original release; the "new" Tiger 1 would have a different number entirely.

Guys, it may well be many of the "same" minis, but they will be slightly bigger. Not to worry, they wont be like 1/72 scale, they will just be a bit bigger. More to scale with say, the old Hellcat. The new Pz IV is closer to the chassis of the old Wirblewind. If you are not sure what I mean, then do this:
Put a PzIVF2 rare next to a Wirblewind. You will see that the PzIV is a good bit more narrow, while the wirblewind has the proper hull width. The new minis will be more in line with the wirblewind.
But if you already have complete sets of minis up to til now, you wont see any different units I do not believe.

From the looks of the card in the Expanded Rules, We are geting new cards with new SAs and cost. The numbering will be from 1 to 60. The panzer IVF2 is 46 of 60.

We have to wait and see...
