Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

I can play ByForum or ByEmail, I need to play some more games…
The problem was I use to play LowLuck but we can play normal dicey, just a bit of editing… if the targem is to tray and learn new strategies… :grinning:

The combat system is quite different from A&A, so it would be difficult to replace cards with extra pieces directly. Dice work differently from A&A as well.

Cards are used throughout the game sequence; for additional movement, combat bonuses, special actions and reinforcements. Building combos of cards on your hand is part of the strategic element in the game.

All 170 cards in the game have authentic pictures.

Well then, it looks like I will be placing a new order next week as well.

Yeah, I saw this item too.  In fact, I was watching it just to see if it sold.  The auction ended without a sale and the seller has relisted it.  I couldn’t believe the price when I first saw it.

Did anyone check out the game pieces?  They look pretty cool but are quite a bit bigger than A&A pieces.  He has some pics comparing them.  The factories are HUGE.  A lot of the land pieces, particularly infantry and AA guns, are on these big bases the size of poker chips.  In fact, you are supposed to use poker chips for stacking purposes.  You would need such a huge map to handle all of those larger pieces.  The aircraft carrier piece he showed next to an A&A aircraft carrier and it dwarfed the A&A piece.  The ships are almost as big as the A&A Miniatures pieces, but not quite.

I wouldn’t mind having a copy of that game just to check it out but not at $1250.  Maybe if I were a millionaire with money to throw away, but unfortunately I’m a simple working stiff.

@knp7765:

Hey coach, I was just looking at your list for the Axis Minors set and it says there will only be 2 Panzer IIIs per set.  About a week or so back, I could have sworn it said 4 Panzer IIIs.  I take it you decided to put in more of one of the other units?
I was wondering, when you get these pieces going, will you be selling them individually as well as in sets?

I am playing with the numbers and sculpts right now.
It is not always what I want in a mold but comes down to money. I will sell these as sets but will offer them for sale on individual pieces after a couple months. At least that is the plan. You might even see it in another set of German pieces.

Is this the game you speak of:

yes it is

Imagine the world map cut up into regions a la the A&A game board. You take turns moving resources, units, buying technologies, etc towards the objective of capturing opponents’ capital cities set in WWII. However, instead of rolling dice to determine conflicts as in A&A - you jump onto the battlefield and use the resources that were moved into the territory of conflict to play out a RTS battle. Being an A&A board game nut from my high school days AND a RTS fan, I absolutely consider it the best of both worlds.
Took it from Atari board.
