Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

Holy crap, that’s an awesome artillery piece!  I think I’ll spend the next half-hour staring at it.

any who, back to the issue of the US bomber:

The Liberator looks pretty Bad @$$!  Better than the B-17. actually.  I love it.  great pick.  Put in on the line.  I’ll have 100, please.

Where did you see an FMG Liberator piece?

They haven’t made it yet.  They just want to do the Liberator, since the B-17 is overused, and the Liberator was the most common US bomber.  There have several posts going back and forth on which bomber should be the US one.

The Liberator itself, looks Bad @$$, but I’m sure a sculpt would be beyond awesome.  None the less, any US sculpt is far off.  After Italy, Japan will be next.

I’d actually like a B-24 since I can buy a 1/700 B-25 that would fit in nicely…

Holy cowshit! What a nice piece of artillery. I really want to spend some money on these new units, sooner rather then later, to fill up my grand Ammo box! :D Looking forward to have a look at the italian aeroplanes.

Okay, let’s have a recount. So far we have seen the finished sculpts for the following units:

TANK
SELF PROPELLED GUN
INFANTRY 1
INFANTRY 2
COMMANDER
ARTILLERY

BATTLESHIP
AIRCRAFT CARRIER
DESTROYER
TRANSPORT

So what’s next, FMG? I understand that you are still developing the following:

SUBMARINE
CRUISER

FIGHTER
DIVE BOMBER
BOMBER
AIR TRANSPORT

HALFTRACK
TRUCK

BUNKER
NAVAL BASE
AIR BASE
ARMY HQ

Can you please confirm if this is all correct? Is there anything else I missed? Many thanks to you for all your hard work; it’s been about a year now and I hope all is running to schedule.  :-)

BUNKER
NAVAL BASE
AIR BASE
ARMY HQ

The above will be included in a separate set and will include IC, Minor IC, TASK FORCE MARKER and AAA gun.

The remaining ITALIAN pieces we already have sculpts for, just waiting for the Factory to finish.

Will they be nation specific, or just gray?

Just keeping watching this thread. As soon as the factory finishes the test sculpts of the remaining Italian pieces, I’m willing to bet that FMG will begin the pre-order process for the Italian set. Other sets to follow after that, but so far, no Canadians planned.

The “Extras” set will be Grey like the classic ICs of most games.

As for Canadians…  not in the plan at the moment.  We kinda have our hands full with the 9 nations we are working on.  Release should be in this order:

ITALY
JAPAN
“Extras set”
USA
GERMANY
USSR
UK
ANZAC (Diff colour than UK and with a few specific units of its own)
FRANCE

If all goes as planed;
CHINA???
NEUTRALS???
Canadians???
Tech Units???

NOTE: ITALY is the first, and is taking the longest.  Once ITALY is complete the others will move much faster. This is due to set-up, factory experience and of course… funds.

just another side note: my play station name is cminke (add me

What the hell??? :-D :-D

Must be for online gaming.

Yes, but what color should Canada be (yellow-green, green-yellow, light blue?)?  Should India be a separate color (tan [in between UK and ANZAC light and dark tan], yellow, black)?

Spain?

Turkey? (black?)

Or should all neutrals be white?

For simplicity sake, I like IL’s idea of

Axis Neutrals = Light Grey
Allies Neutrals = Light Brown

For the “Light Brown”, I’d like to see the off-white from AADD used, unless we plan to use this for the Canadians…

FMG’s big marketing gig is quality plastic.

whatever color they choose, I don’t think it will be just copies of existing units.

@cminke:

any one have any pics of the pieces??
:? :? :? :-D :-( :-) :-D

My friend… A little bit of searching would have shown you thread that is two below this called “FMG Pieces Project”

No India seperate color, no Canada, no Spain, no Turkey, and I would like :

Axis Neutrals = Light Grey
Allies Neutrals = Light Brown

These are good ideas should we be able to do the Neutrals in the future!

Canada had how many troops in WWII? The British Empire is already represented with UK/ ANZAC / India, and Canadian Roundels.

Other than rah-rahing your own particular country, what major impact would adding Canada as a country provide to Axis & Allies? It would break up the UK’s power even more, (a country that can sorely afford that), and strengthen the Axis.

Or are you suggesting we break up the Axis to include the Germans, Italians, Romanians, Hungarians, etc?

Look, I love Canada as much as anyone else does, and they did provide a lot of support in WWII and WWI, but they are definitely not a major power.

And no, I am not mentally insane.
