Whatever happened to Bunkers and Army HQ?
Whatever happened to Bunkers and Army HQ?
The extras set will include factories, pill boxes, army hq, naval bases, air bases, task force markers and AA guns. they aren’t nation specific and have no real reason to be.
Hey FMG, I noticed that the new SM-79 Sparviero Bomber unit has not been posted into the main FMG Italian pieces thread. Just to make you aware of that.
Okay, so just to confirm the complete Italian air units we have:
Macchi C202 Folgore Fighter
Breda BA.65 Tactical Bomber
Fiat BR20 Medium Bomber (This unit actually was a med. bomber so am I right in thinking that the Transport is for house rules etc?)
Savoia-Marchetti SM-79 Sparviero Bomber (Is this unit a Heavy Bomber? According to many online sources, this unit was originally designed as an air transport, so I’m not sure about the Fiat BR20 being a Transport…)
Just trying to clarify what all the Italian air unit designations are. Thanks!
Since it looks like Germany is going to be next, I was wondering about the great “Black vs. Grey” debate. Was there ever a final decision on that?
Also, does anybody know how these are going to be priced when we get to order? Are we paying for Italy alone, which will fund Germany, which will fund the next nation and so on? I thought that when Italy came out, we paid for all 8 nations. Thus, we would get the Italian pieces right away and the others would in effect be pre-orders. Either way will be okay with me, I just would like an idea of what’s going on.

FMG opted to produce both black and gray because it’s about 50/50 on preference based on votes, but in another poll more people wouldn’t purchase the units at all if they were only molded in Revised/Classic gray.
It is my understanding that Italy funds the next (Germany). It is not a preorder for a full set (all nations). Only a Nation Set. Early adopters will be paying more, as FMG expects the price to drop as each successive nation is completed, but if they don’t get early adopters to pay the premium, there won’t be enough operating capital to fund the remaining nations.
Well hopefully they’ll be quick with the Germans. I imagine sales will be a little brisker for them than the Italians… unless AAE40 has a deficiency like the Japanese tac bombers.

speaking about IL, has any one heard from him
he’s always here, watching us
Fmg will you sell the exras sepuratly.
Fmg will you sell the exras sepuratly.
The “Extras” Set will be like the other Nations, it will be available for sale separately.
NOTE: After the release of ITALY, the other Nations will be coming in quick succession. The Factory is already working on the German Sculpts! As you have seen they have been coming faster and faster.
The first Nation was the biggest challenge with a learning curve for both us and our factory…. Now that we have a system in place I am confident that the ENTIRE project will see completion in 2011 including all Nations and the “Extras” set.

Also, ever think of doing the map also???

Sorry to hear that. Looks like you may not even make it through one game of AAG1940 if thats the case.

geez, this sure is one looooong thread, man
If you look at the board stats… It is the longest thread in the history of AAA.org!
Does it have the highest post density?
Since the aagun is gonna be neutral what mold will it be? We’ll everyone get a flak 88?
i think we should have a german tank model as the long barled (spelling) panzer 3
Well then were either asking FMG to make a traditional generic AAgun or too make two AA gun molds, one for the axis and one allies. Even still Japan and Italy never used 88s and the allies didnt have one single aa gun they all shared.
