not a scond to soon FMG. vry good indeed

@Imperious:

Yea i need these pieces by 8/24 or latest delivery by 9/2/10

Yes IL that is a big 10/4 although I probably will not have my AAE1940 before 09/06/10 at the earliest.

Does anybody know how FMG will be shipping the Italian combat units?  Will they be loose in bags like in the A&A games or will they be on sprues like the pieces you get from Table Tactics?

my prior orders from FMG has been well protected. so i am sure that they will send it in an armour as thick as a panther’s armour.

They will all be separated, and in a Newly designed FMG Felt bag for each Nation.  We use a different and more advanced/expensive production technique than both WOTC and TT.

Good to hear. I cant even express how excited I am about Next week. First AAE40 then FMG Combat Units!

Thanks for all the hard work on this project FMG. You service to the ASA community is unmatched.

That is VERY cool.  It’s a PITA clipping pieces from those sprues.  I like the sounds of those new felt bags too.  Looking forward to seeing them.  Thanks so much FMG.  You’re the best.

Wow - that’s Cool!

I’m not sure if this has been discussed but does the Armored Car have a turret that can turn?  The reason I ask is because in the picture it’s facing backward…

Did a quick search, and the Italian armored car is pointing backwards.

Is there a quick fix, or are we locked into the current model?

I think you are incorrect.  This sculpt was made from SEVERAL Black and White pictures, an on-line WWII vehicle SPEC SHEET and an actual model.

Is it an AutoBlinda 41?  If so than…. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AB_41.

I agree, the turret is facing towards the rear of the car.

Uh oh.  I didn’t even think about that myself when I saw it… but now that I’ve searched it does seem to be facing the rear (despite half the pictures I have seen showing it face that direction, the descriptions that I’m finding specify that the low/long portion is the ‘rear’ of the vehicle … which would also be where the door on the side is located.
