Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

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.

same as if us, france,russia,uk,anzac, use a befores(wrong spelling)

?

The UK used a variety of aa guns, the primary heavy aa gun was QF 3.7 inch  which was used during the Battle of Britain and througout the war.

It is my understanding that FMG will be using the Bofors AA Gun for the generic non-nation specific piece:

That would be the 40mm?
thats a good idea cause its swedish and alot of different countries used it.

This was my initial idea.  This will be the Generic AA gun.

Hey Jeremy,
Why isn’t the SM 79 picture on the page with all the other sculpt pictures?  It’s not on the FMG Combat Pieces Italy page either.

IL has to unlock the forum for me to post.  I think he is on vacation.

@Imperious:

Didn’t get PM on that. Unlocked now.

The latest picture has been posted. Thanks

Just saw the mech inf. and bomber pieces. They look great FMG.

Good to see the SM.79 Sparviero represented.

I don’t recognize the heavy bomber unit, who’s the manufacturer and what’s the designation?

I believe you are referring to the Fiat BR20 (This unit was actually a medium bomber during the war).

As for the Savoia-Marchetti SM-79 Sparviero bomber, I understand FMG have designated this unit as a heavy bomber. Although according to many online sources, this unit was originally designed as an air transport.

FMG could you please clarify your Italian air unit designations? Thank you!  :-)

The first one designated as “Italian Heavy Bomber” was a mistake.  It has been replaced with the SM 79, which will be considered as the Italian Heavy Bomber.  The first one, which looks more like a G4M “Betty” Bomber for Japan (which I think is what it will be used for) is NOT going to be in the final Italian lineup.
