I just got email from Victrix announcing the release of a 12mm Fallschirmjäger set. I didn't even know this was in development. The last release (Pak 40, Su-76, and 6-pdr) all caught me by surprise too. Where should I be looking to see what Victrix is working on? The blog seems to be out of date and spotty, and I haven't had any luck finding inside information about it in the forums, or anywhere else. I am particularly keen to do North Africa in 1/144 scale, and I don't want to do it with 10mm miniatures only to have Victrix releasing gorgeous 12mm tropical infantry into the middle of my project. - Ix |

YA, I thought I might be the only one out of the loop on these too (just got my email notice also). But wait, maybe they didn't want us to see these before they came up for sale -----
That's one heck of a Master Blaster there, er, or MG. |

LOL! That MG is big enough to be a 37mm autocannon. That shoulder stock looks like a really unhealthy idea…. |

hehehe – bet if might even be recoilless too! |

Hey, give it about a week, and Tango will be posting a thread on these, thinkin' they're new sculpts for DUST '46. |

Did anyone notice the rules? I'm curious if the app moderated with AR concept works. |

Altar Boy, no, didn't notice this. Can you give us a link? |

AB, thanks! Here's a review linked from the Facebook page - link A snippet [scale] impression/opinion – "Alex: According to the developers, the game is designed for games of about 3-6 infantry squads and 2-3 vehicles per side. Considering that the app is being developed in partnership with Victrix and their (very cool) 12mm WW2 product line, it felt a little strange for the app to focus on platoon+ level combat rather than company level. For example, the Victrix German infantry set comes with 184 miniatures, but the recommended battle size in Company Commander would utilize only about 1/3rd of these." IMO, this facet of WW2 gaming is over-populated with popular rulesets already, but not with an ap set (maybe that's the 'puzzle' dangle for trying it). All we need is another reason for gamers to have their phones out around the gaming table – but, maybe new tech is what moves the hobby forward? Right now, the digital rules are apparently still in development, and free. Thanks for the heads-up Altar Boy. |
