Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

Fmg I am concerned that the turrets might be too delicate.

My concern as well - nothing a little bit of super glue won’t fix :-)

They are very sturdy.  No worries here.

Love all the pics.

When do we get self-propelled artillery as well  :wink:

Those are spectacular!  SO much detail yet still the scale we all know and love! Wow…

Dude, that’s hot.

You know, I’ve been thinking about what FMG said about nixing the 2 US tanks and going for 2 fighters.  For Japan, maybe there should be 2 battleships as opposed to two tanks: 1 Yamato Super Battleship, and 1 regular.  However, now that we know the tank turrets can move, I don’t think anyone will want to make that trade……unless the turrets on that second battleship can move…shudders

Just make the trucks a 1-2-2-4 unit with the ability to tow artillery.

Dude, turtle, you’re missing the point here!  FMG is making the piece physically so that YOU, yes YOU (and whoever you play with) can make it WHATEVER YOU WANT in game terms, rules-wise in your own house rules!

That’s really pretty lame.  Can’t you just move them yourself?  Where in the heck is he gonna find tiny little motors like that?  :lol:

Chuck Norris wouldn’t need tiny game pieces.

Remember WW II? That was Chuck Norris playing axis & allies.

But lame ‘jokes’ aside, the FMG pieces look awesome :lol:

seriously fmg if you made a game 1 trillionth of the quality of these pieces it would be great no amazing

These game pieces are in a class of their own and quite clearly do not belong on the same game board as the WOTC pieces. Anybody who argued that the FMG Germans should be black, or that FMG shouldn’t make a Bismarck/Panther/ME-109 sculpt so that the pieces would tie in with or expand the WOTC offering must realize their arguments were silly.

Indeed. But I’m still hoping for an FW-190 Fighter for the Germans, since I like the design better than the Me-109.

While I agree with you that they should stick with the Bismarck for the German battleship, I MUST disagree with you on the color choice.  I want the FMG German pieces to be black so I can use both them and the WOTC pieces.  Yes, I realize the FMG pieces are higher quality but they are also planning on using different models from the WOTC pieces for more variety.  For example, they have already stated that the German armor #1 is going to be the Panzer III.  The second will probably be a Tiger I or a SPG and NOT the Panther.  Therefore, if they are all black, I can use all three armor types.  While the WOTC pieces are not as nice as the FMG pieces, they still look very nice and since they will be different models I don’t think the quality difference will be that noticable.

If the pieces were all gray, the FMG Germans would end up looking like WOTC ANZAC units.

By the way, I understand FMG is making Germans in both gray and black so we all can get what we want.  If you just want the FMG pieces by themselves, then you can get the gray Germans.  If you want to combine FMG and WOTC pieces, then you can get the black Germans.

Just curious, for those of you who intend on getting the gray Germans and not using your WOTC pieces, what are you going to do with the WOTC pieces you already have?

I’ll buy any and all sets of WotC pieces at $6 a set :-)

I agree with the last poster - I like that we can combine armies from FMG and WotC. Otherwise, we are back were we started.
