Current Zeugo HW range

When Zeugo returned in 2005, they abandoned the HW-style base of the original range in favor of the modern flat base, initially using black box bases and later transitioning to Profibases from 2006 onwards, which many (including myself)consider the best base they’ve ever produced and perhaps the best mass marketed base again thats my opinion…

However, in 2012, Parodi decided to cater to older fans who grew up with HW bases in the 1970s by reintroducing teams with an HW-style base, given that the figures were based on the HW figure from Subbuteo, making it a logical choice.

Interestingly, while the original First Edition range figure and HW base are nearly identical to original Subbuteo HW figures and are accepted in old rules competitions, the modern Zeugo HW-based teams are often not allowed in many old-school competitions due to the figure being bigger and the camber (the angle of the base) not aligning with the Original Subbuteo bases. The base is also larger, though the impact of this difference remains unclear to me but a someone who plays old rules maybe able to explain why…

Starting in 2012, Zeugo debuted the HW range initially with just a few teams before expanding it to the entire range that was still in production at the time, resulting in significant gaps in the numbering because many teams were no longer being made at the full rollout in 2013. Therefore, theoretically, every team after reference number 288 onwards should have an HW base version. Anything from 1-288 is a maybe, depending on what was still in the range in 2013. This page will provide records of every known team.

The original teams with HW bases were: Ref 2 Argentina, Ref 9 Brazil, Ref 18 Genoa, Ref 21 Inter Milan, Ref 22 Italy, Ref 24 Lazio, Ref 29 Milan, Ref 38 Roma, Ref 39 Sampdoria, Ref 101 Real Madrid, Ref 120 Juventus, and Ref 260 Barcelona…
