Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

So one mold can be of more than one sculpt?

I guess a mold is the plastic tree where the pieces are connected and the buyer needs to remove like in MB AA?

If the cost becomes $64,000 for 8 nations or 8K each, I would just make 6 nations and come out with recolored versions for the others.

6 x $8,000= $48,000 or sell 960 units at $50 each to get back your money.

I think on this site alone they will generate at least 500 units within 1 year. The rest is links on BGG and FMG site direct. The profit is when they clear deals with the majors to supply game parts for all sorts of new games.

Conquest Games will buy them
Fantasy Flight Games might buy them for a AA knockoff
Eagle Games might
WOTC might
Xeno games will replace their crappy games with these pieces.
who else?

WOW! You guys are really getting into the math here!

There are other costs involved also like Freight and samples shipping back and fourth etc…  I can’t tell you the exact cost, I just wanted you to understand that this is VERY expensive.

I have been waiting for an update forever…  I am told to expect the ITALY TRUCK / MEC INF and planes very shortly.  Will post pictures when they arrive.

Considering the cost of each unit, perhaps just make one sculpt?

Tanks need a few different sculpts ( heavy, medium)

The utility of different infantry poses is not really a ‘bang for the buck’ concept. Of course if the sculpt was an airborne unit or marine thats different.

That’s correct.  One mold can be for an entire set of sculpts for a full country, depending of course on the size of the machines being used (I used to work for an injection molding company so I’ve got a fair bit of insight into those things).

Exactly, which is why I took the costs you provided as an estimate and added a ‘guess’ to round out all the extras.  There are ALWAYS more costs than the average consumer sees … we just hope for the best quality at the lowest possible price.  ;)

Well, you can be assured that if I have the money, I will buy them. If I don’t, I’ll try to get the money.

Imperious Leader is starting to sound like he sits behind a desk at WOTC with all this we don’t need this or that talk?  :roll:  :lol:

[Imperious Leader]

If i was at WOTC they would have problems. I would Gordon Ramsey them mercilessly till i was kicked out or i kicked them out.

I can picture that…. It would be the Kitchen Nightmares of the boardgaming industry. That would be sweet!

You are assuming that you would be in charge at WOTC. The only way for that to happen would be if you were a chimp.

I have been told to expect an update tonight!  FYI

Really nice. Got to get these out before the game. I hope that happens.

[Guest]

Nice job FMG. Can’t wait to see the rest.

[Bob_A_Mickelson]

Keep up the good work FMG. Can’t wait till i can get a set.

[lozmoid]

Thank you so much FMG! You have restored my wavering faith. Now just tell me when I can buy!  :-)

[Razor]

Great work done  :lol: :lol:

[finnman]

I love the tac bombers. I’m still on fence about these pieces.

[Viracocha]

Good stuff FMG - can’t wait to get my hands on these and start painting!
