Has anyone heard what the vehicle counts are going to be for FotB? I like to use upgraded minis, so was hoping to get a jump on getting them ordered. So far I've picked up 10 T-34's and 4 SU-122's. Cant seem to find a good 1/144 mini for the KV-1. Any one started to gather pieces yet?

I use Flames of War and Axis & Allies Minis. I have a horde of T-34s, 4 SU-122s and 4 KV-1.
How do the FoW minis scale to the TOI maps? Aren't they a little bit large?

They fit, barely.
Sometimes you have to use creative positioning, though.
I am currently trying out ToI Deluxe, using self-made hex maps with 12 cm hexes. Stacking is no longer a problem, but making hills is.
For those of us who still have "version 1" axis and allies miniatures, these are somewhat smaller and therefore fit better, although getting to fit two KV 1's into a single hex along with an infantry squad will be rather problematic.
Now, when we'll actually get to see FoTB, now that's an entirely different matter...
C'mon FFG, I can understand there have been some unforeseen circumstances causing these delays, but how hard can it be to post a message here or on BGG filling us in a little bit?!
FotB? FotB?!
What is this FotB of which many of you speak? It is a myth, I tell you!
It is no more provable than Sasquatch, UFOs, or—dare I say it—Jedi Knights.
I'll hear no more talk of such utter nonsense!
Ok I'll just buy another copy of DotF then.

That is no option for me, I already have four copies...
Wow. What do you do with all of those Klaus?

Build absurdly large maps...
And you probably got a picture somewhere?
I vote for a picture also. That would be awesome to play a huge game like that.

No, unfortunately not.
At present, I am experimenting with larger hexes and 3D terrain, so huge maps do not exactly fit on the table anymore. I will post some pictures of that soon.
That's one of the things I like about TOI. No need for 3D terrain. Packs up much quicker.
But if you've got the time, go for it!
