It depends on what “work” means – in other words, on whether players would consider a Kursk scenario appealing. Conceptually, Kursk would be similar to A&A D-Day (minus the water) in the sense that the battle was fundamentally a frontal assault on a heavily-defended static position, and similar to A&A Battle of the Bulge in the sense that it would involve ground forces driving into enemy lines, but different from both games in the sense that from the German point of view Kursk was a pincer movement aimed at pinching off a salient, and that from the Russian point of view it was a two-stage offensive-defensive battle. Personally I think it has good potential to make an interesting game, if it’s designed properly.

FMG, What can I say. You are the greatest.

Augh It’s going to be so hard waiting haha. :lol:

@Imperious:
Heavy Tanks ( 6 total including italy) 6
ANZAC infantry
French Infantry
French Tanks
French Artillery
Their are also going to be two types of tanks, so heavy tanks are taken care of as well. I suppose airborne infantry could be taken care of aswell since their will be two infantry molds. ANZAC and France will also have their own complete set.
FMG, can you please post all the machines of war you are planning to base your molds on. We can give you a lot of feedback I what would most likly sell.

Airbases and Naval bases will be actual 3D units rather than tokens or chips!
Then people should post pictures of what it should look like…
one sec…

I think a round light grey token with something in the way of a number of some of these structures embossed on top, and the words ‘naval port’ along the rim of the token.

Air base would be similar but with a tower on the side and a runway next to it with some little planes embossed on it. ‘Airbase’ script written along the rim.

i think it would still be great to get some task force markers, like in AAP
-
But i think the map is large enough this time
-
its never been an issue of space for me, its been more of moving a large fleet 2 spaces one unit at a time. just easier to move a task marker

Great News on adding the AA40 cardboard unit sculpts FMG. I’ll have to order at least 2 complete sets. Maybe 4.
So for clarity sake, will be France, China, and ANZAC be represented in the complete set or will we have to wait for a second release?
Also for clarity sake, the units listed below are the ones that made the final cut into the set correct?

I remember twenty or thirty pages ago he said something about am Army Group marker similar to a task force marker for land units.
I am very pleased with the developments of the FMG project, but I hope we don’t make the project too cumbersome with the recent scope creep. I am certain FMG will give us the most they can as quickly as possible. Lets make sure he sells enough to keep the project going to the end. Talk to your friends that play, both face-to-face and online.

So you want to have all of those beautiful ships off of the gameboard?

Personally I never use the task marker as I would rather keep my whole armada of ships on the board itself.
-
I agree - why would you ever want the task force markers (rubbish)? When there will be enough room to display all the fantastic ships - and it looks far more intimidating/cool.
-

I think FMG said that France and ANZAC will be included in the complete set. They havnt said anything on china, but I would not think it would be too hard for them since they only have three different peices (infantry artillery and a fighter).

Just keep your fingers crossed.

If they do China, we the community hope they will make both nationalist china and commie china, and not in same color. Nationalist dark green, and commie blue.
-
China look like this:

After I posted the chines stuff, I now got 71 smites.
Please dont smite the messenger. It was not me that made the ugly-looking chines uniforms. I just posted the pic.

Ignore the karma - seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. I’m actually mystified as to why it is still part of the forum.
Cheers
