Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

If you are going to make just one color, either color match it perfectly or make it completely different (gray).

Well, I’d say if you’re going to make just one color, match something. If you make a totally unique color, it’s no better than making a totally unique size. Useless to A&A players.

Exactly my point - Variable summed it up perfectly.

This is why FMG should make their own WWII game.

One step at a time my friend.  Once we complete all the units we can think of…  we will be in a better position to start making games.

Oh I realize that. I am just dreaming.

Dream on Brain. Thats a good dream.

So am I…

Will these pieces ever see the light of day?  :| Trying to be patient but dying for information! What’s taking so long, FMG?

They will, I have complete faith in FMG coming through on their promise. We don’t want to rush this. Otherwise the production values will be no better than a WotC boardgame……

The delay is entirely in the factory where they are being produced.  Believe me, FMG is pushing as hard and as often as they can to get them off their butts to get this stuff to us.  ;)

Where is that factory at? If it’s close I will go give them a piece of my mind. (what’s left of it anyway)

While we’re waiting, I have had a brain storm.  One thing that could add to the beauty of this project is having a new tray arranged to allow the player to sort his pieces.  I was thinking rather than having a rectangular box with regular sides and all that, the box could have a theme look.  Then it hit me, how about a colored box that is shaped like a landing craft to put the ground pieces in?  Another box would have some resemblance to an aircraft hanger and a third box would have a bottom texture like waves in the ocean with large waves dividing the “compartments” for holding ships.  If this could be sized and shaped to fit into the footlocker then I think you would have something nobody is ever going to beat.

HELLO……is ther anybody in there?..is ther any one home…?

Hello, hello, hello. Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone at home?

@ FMG - While we’re waiting, would you please be able to post a profile view of the Italian transport to complement the overhead shot which you posted for us earlier?

YOU KNOW HENDRIX???

It’s Pink Floyd I believe and… STAY ON TOPIC please  :-)

Storming the factory and keeping the mob from over running me is a double job!

Sorry guys…  I have been very busy and away on business out of the country several times.  I do have info but no pictures to show at the moment.  I have been assured that all the ITALY sculpts are completed and will be going into production soon.

Once I have pictures I will share.

Thank you FMG, for that news.

Really looking forward to the pieces, FMG! I am so gonna pimp my AAG40 set with them (and all your other fantastic products)!

Just one question - once all nations are complete, will you offer all of them as one set, or will we have to order each one seperately? To add on to this, do you plan to make more production runs if they’re reasonably successful? I don’t know about anyone else, but I’d rather buy them all at once than one nation at a time. Finding that some nations are out of stock when I get around to getting the whole collection would be unfortunate for me :|.

For now, though, I need to save up :-P.

Thanks :-). I look forward to the day when I get a large bag of little plastic goodies :-D.

The way I understand it, once Italy is complete, FMG will put up an order form which will be for a complete set of the AA50 six nations (Italy, Germany, Japan, USA, UK and Russia).  When you place your order, you will get the Italians right away and get each other nation as they come out.  Plus, with the other five nations, the wait won’t be as long because the factory will be more experienced at making the molds and putting out the product.

As for the other extra stuff like France, ANZAC, China and the common pieces, I think they will be offered later as add-ons.
