Re: Needed WW2 American Artillery and crews-agreed!

The 17pdr is not ignored - let's not forget the Matchbox kit.

I agree tho, we need some more arty other than German. With the most recent Caesar releases, we have access to practically any gun ever made by Germany between 1936 and 1945. As for the US...I don't think anyone made a 57mm gun that's not just alternative assembly for a British 6pdr. Also, the lack of arty crew is not too good...especially how that arty crew could serve as M7 Crew as well.

Maybe Orion would be up to something like that? In the same fashion as their Russian arty crew. Seeing how they made US tankers already, a similar expansion for their US line would make sense...maybe with some Rangers thrown into the mix as well...

Re: Needed WW2 American Artillery and crews

I'd buy a set of WW2 U.S. artillery crews.

To cover most regions / climates, trousers and shirtsleeves or undershirts seem to be a good choice to me since manning the guns is hot work.

Re: Needed WW2 American Artillery and crews

AB/ Fighting 15s do whitemetal crews for 105mm, 57mm, 3 inch, 155mm guns

Now if we were talking about metal crew, and I had any spare organs I could sell, then yes, AB would be a good choice.

What a great idea my parts are all old and worn out but I could sell the kids organs. Now where can I sell them? Not Evil Bay tried to sell one of the kids on there already they told me it was not legal.

Re: Needed WW2 American Artillery and crews

Well, (& I HATE myself for even saying this!) there has been too much futzing around with all the smaller guns & the 88s for the Germans. Other guns & crews really need to be represented. However, Manufacturers really need to step back & take a break from WW2 Germans!

When we have some decent US, British, Russian, Japanese & even French heavy artillery, heavy weapons & crews in both winter & summer garb, (Yes I know many of these have been done for British & Russians!) as well as some of the minor participants,There is no reason to go back to the Germans. (Who have more sets made for them than the rest of the WW2 participants combined!)
