@Lozmoid:

Hey FMG, do you have any further news updates with regards to how the Germany Combat Units are coming along? It’s been pretty quiet round here the last couple of weeks. Thank you!  :-)

(Sorry guys)

Sure… How about these GERMAN Naval Units??  :-D

These German pieces look excellent! Any idea of a ball park release date FMG? I know you had said 4-6 weeks after each nation’s release, and that Italy was probably shipping in January, so does that mean were looking at a mid-February release?

[Stickman]

FMG- I know you plan on doing both Black and Gray for the Germans, I was wondering if both colors will be done simultaneously, or will we have to wait for U.S. to be completed? Thank you.

Right now we are working on getting the Nations done and released as quickly as possible.  SPECIAL EDITIONS will be released later.

The FIRST Germany Units will be Grey

Is that a Deutshland class pocket battleship for the heavy cruiser piece?  Extremely cool.
It looks as though you stuck with the Graf Zepplin for the carrier and Bismarck for the battleship.  That’s good.  These look a lot nicer and more detailed than WOTC ships.  I was originally planning on getting the black Germans to supplement my current pieces, but now I am leaning toward getting the grey and simply replacing my WOTC pieces.  The FMG pieces will have so much more detail.

[knp7765]

I just thought of something.  Will the second infantry sculpt have an MP 40?  That would be neat.  Didn’t one of the Italian infantry have a sub machine gun?

If this is so, is that how all the infantry pieces for all nations going to be?  One with a rifle and one with a sub machine gun?  That would be real cool.  The only country’s infantry that I can’t remember seeing use a sub machine gun is Japan.  All the others have one version or another.
USA = Thompson
UK = Sten
USSR = Ppsh 41
Germany = MP 40
Italy = I don’t know
Japan = ???
ANZAC = probably Sten like UK
China = probably Thompson
France = ???

Those German infantry look awesome, FMG!

Germany = MP 40
Italy = berreta
Japan =type 100 9mm
ANZAC = probably Sten like UK-no but i cant remember what
China = probably Thompson-also no
France = a good portion sten if i can rember corectly

pieces, must have pieces…

doecent any one think that the heat looks big???

[Viracocha]

Those are some fantastic German pieces…  :-o

[Fishmoto37]

Yes all these German pieces look great.

[Bob_A_Mickelson]

Once again your samples look amazing. Keep up the good work FMG.

[AXIS426]

OMG! speechless in admiration of the new pic’s!

France = a good portion sten if i can rember corectly

knp: The Free French used all manner of UK/UK weapons, the French resistence used many, many stens (it was almost kinda the standard air-drop to the resistence forces gun, as they were cheap and plentiful and light.)  If, however, you’re looking for a genuine French, used by regulars in the early war weapon…
There was at least one French smg, FYI, the MAS 38

btw, little piece of fun trivia: the pre-revolutionary French navy had a rather interesting naval jack: a plain white flag.  (No joke, they really did!)

[DrLarsen]

FMG: Interesting choice, going for the “Pocket Battleship” as a cruiser.  Now we definitely have to have a Dunkirque Class French battlecruiser to respond to it!  (…and a Richelieu Class BB to respond to the Bismark…)  That’ll at least give the French SOMETHING useful to do past turn 2…
