The most important thing for these pieces is that they match EXACTLY the colors in AA42/AA50/AAP&E40 of the combatants. if you are going to charge for plastic pieces, make them useful!
I’ve read that the pieces will match the combat dice - that is great, but the combat dice can closely approximate the colors of the pieces and it is ok (they are not on the actual board) - however, the FMG pieces will be intermixed with stock A&A so it is extremely important that they match.
The FMG dice match the A&A pieces in color, so if the FMG pieces match the FMG dice in color, one can therefore conclude that the FMG pieces will match the A&A pieces in color.
Brain,
Correct - except for Germany. Hence my post - I really feel this is the make or break key to fiscal success for FMG. (I have seen too many plastic-pieced games fail because they overlooked the #1 market, A&A fans)
Does anyone have the pre-order link handy? Been checking the older posts but I haven’t seen it yet.
Its not established yet, when it is you will the the second to know.

We’re all waiting for this, it does not exist yet. Keep checking here and at the FMG site.
I did not see tactical bombers on the list. Have I missed somthing?

Their last list included a dive bomber, so I am guessing that will be the tactical bomber you are looking for.
OK Thanks Brain. Thought it would be a waste without a dive bomber.
Hey Field Marshal Games, is there anything at all new that you can tell us? I’m dying for more info here. Please!! :-) I wanna get my hands on the Italians!
I would be in for a set for sure, I’m so tired of cobbling my pieces together from multiple games just so I can play one game.

I second that Danger Mouse. These sculpts are going to look fantastic on the board!

I third that Viracocha, and then I would like them painted by the same guy that painted yours :-D

Cheers BD :mrgreen:
As soon as I have something worth showing I will post it!
Wait?
Who painted Viracocha’s pieces? I thought it was him?
If he is for hire how much does he charge for AA50 complete set?
Eh eh eh… BD was making a jest, knowing it was me who painted my own minis. :-D
I currently lack the time to offer detailing services, and even then I’d be uncertain as to cost. Perhaps someday I might do a couple sets from people, possibly more reliant on a barter system/trade of some sort…
FMG,
Could you state what color your German pieces will be when they come out? I want the “official” word.
(and yes, I really really want the Germans to be black, like the 1942/1941/1940 color schemes - I won’t buy them if they come gray)
They many on many occasions that the colors are OOB. Perhaps latter this will change, but the first run of sets are all in OOB colors…just like the dice.
To which I repeat… “just like the dice”
Including the gray German dice? See my point?
Well you do have a point on that. But they did say the pieces would be OOB colors, but perhaps Germany would be less black.
I got a few sets of German pieces with a dark grey tint. Perhaps a mistake
