Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

@finnman:

I kinda like the idea of having Filipino units. Just maybe a lighter colour of the U.S. with a couple different sculpts. I’d also give them a minor factory to spend there income. This might help balance Pacific. Buy the way there probably wouldn’t be that many pieces.

Turtle, you came up with the Scout idea, and Finnman upped it to a minor IC - for 1 territory, that is a bit much. even China has 10+ territories for it’s units.

@C_Strabala:

Let’s first make this a profitable proposition for FMG before we start demanding all of our little pet units/pieces.

I could use some horses for my Polish cavalry units.

Why would any of us know?  Just be patient, they can’t design/cast/prepare and then use molds very quickly.

Hey guys, check out the date for the first post.  This project has been going on for over a year.  Happy B-Lated Anniversary, guys.

though I’ve undoubtedly just missed someone else posting this already, I haven’t seen it posted on FMG’s project thread or here, but they have all the pics and the units listed as an actual item on FMG’s site:

99.99, but not final price…. that’s only up 50% from the original price thought a year ago, though there are more pieces now included too.

Good find Lucky Day, I am constantly checking their site for news, but you beat me to it.

So, is this $100 for just the Italians? I didn’t know I was investing $600…

I am certain its $100 for all countries, but he stated that he hasn’t finalized his prices yet. The other prices you and IL mentioned are absurd and I don’t think he would sell much at that price.

Guys! That price is just a placeholder….

Relax, and FMG will release his prices soon - and it won’t be $600 a set!

I’m not saying it’s not worth $600. I’m just saying I don’t have $600!  :lol:

I would be in for $100. We all asked FM to include everything that is included. He is putting his business’s resources behind the project. I think it is our responsibility to support this effort.

GET OUT !!!

Price is JUST A PLACE HOLDER!!!

software requires all items to have prices.  I though of putting $1,000,000 as a joke!

Ah. Heart attack averted… Wew!

I wonder how many people here would have been throwing fits if the price HAD been listed as $1,000,000… XP  Fun to think about!

I am sure if people saw one million dollars they would have known it was a joke or a mistake. When they saw $100 they were uncertain.

On topic but veering from the price issue (though I think they’d be worth every penny): I like that the Italian transport has little life boats  :-)

Abandon ship!

It has been a LOOONG road on this project.  A year ago we started discussion on it and now we are so very close to the first set!

Please don’t bring this back on me later but my latest news is that the ITALIANS are in the final phase of sculpting.  It is estimated that they will be in production and ready within two months (This is what I am told… not to be taken as gospel)

Each additional set SHOULD be 2 months each following ITALY release.

So we all have something to look forward to in the community for the following year as these roll out.

Thank you all for your support and patience on this project.  We made many mistakes along the way and there was a big learning curve going in but now it seems to be clear sailing as far as I can see.

I will continue to share pictures and updates as they become available to me.
