The Complete G40 Set!?! Aw man, that’s going to be a while. I know they are making the mould for Germany and assuming they get this one right the first time (no defects in the mould like what happened with Italy), I think it takes roughly a month or so just to get the mould made at the foundery then shipped back to the factory. Then the factory has to get with Jeremy to choose the right plastic and color. Once that is done, they can go into full production.
With Italy, they went into full production about June 6 and were finished by the end of July or beginning of August. Then they had to package them all up onto skids for the freight company and arrange for the freight company to go get them which I guess took another couple of months or so (early Aug to Oct 9/10). Then the ocean voyage, customs and transit to FMG hopefully by Halloween.
So, if Germany goes by roughly the same schedule and they have the mould ready by late November/early December, I would figure full production starting early-mid December, possibly finished by early-mid February (minimum 1000 sets ordered). Packaging and pickup by freight company roughly mid-March and , with any luck, at FMG by April. Now, this is just a wild guess by me just going by what happened with Italy. Actually, I’m hoping that I am wrong and everything goes smoothly and the German units get here even sooner. After all, they sort of “cut their teeth” with Italy so maybe it will go a little faster, not just with Germany but with all the future nations.
As for USA, it’s still in the sculpting stage so I have no clue as to how soon they will go into production.
Roudel for FMG British India Dice

I think this would be perfect for a set of Maroon India dice, though a colored outline of it, like the ANZAC dice.

Did I miss something? When did India become a seperate power?
-
I should have explained. Just in case FMG decides to add some other countries in a second edition, after they are done their current project, of course.
India already plays like its own power in the sense that it has its own economy in AA40.
-
In case FMG decides to make a roundel for Antarctica for its “Antarctica dice line” what roundel should they use?
I say white dice with ice cube.
-
I want dice for the Evil Galactic Empire using this for their roundel:
-
sheez…
need i remind everyone FMG did consider doing Spain, Turkey, and others?
…whatever

You just got an A&A beatdown.
And you think it’s over.
What? “Over”?
Did you say “over”?
Nothing’s over until we decide it is!
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Hell, no!
And it ain’t over now.
'Cause when the going gets tough…
the tough get going!
Who’s with me?
Let’s go! Come on! -

My goodness, such animosity! I think it’s not that bad of an idea, tbh. After all, India is essentially a separate power in AA40 (with the “split income” Brits and dual capitals in global, India is only a separate turn sequence shy of being a completely separate power). I think it’d be pretty cool to have separate dice and, if feasible, separate units in a different color (perhaps its own infantry sculpt, but otherwise using British units).
But then, what do I know? waits to be laughed at :p

The roundel that is used for India is already been determined in P40. Its the standard U.K. roundel. The question is what will be the roundel for the U.K. on the Europe map. My assumption is it will be the Union Jack that was used in the original AAPacific

Hey, was that a passive suggestion? I like the idea johnnymarr. Keep 'em coming.

While I rather like the idea, India is basically a power. But upside down turtle fmg is not even done Italy.
