Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

FMG- I know you plan on doing both Black and Gray for the Germans, I was wondering if both colors will be done simultaneously, or will we have to wait for U.S. to be completed? Thank you.

Right now we are working on getting the Nations done and released as quickly as possible.  SPECIAL EDITIONS will be released later.

The FIRST Germany Units will be Grey

GERMAN Infantry Sculpt #1

im sorry to say but doesent the greman head look a little too big?

omg i forgot to say how wounderfull these pieces are im foing to probly buy a second set to paint and put on desplay w/ a scale town. does any one know of some multi nation battles(ones that in clude ass many natinos that fmg will make?)

@Imperious:

Those look terrific. The Germans in winter-coat will look great painted white on the eastern front!

I bought 6 Italy, and i will buy 9 German sets!

ADDICT ALLERT

Is that a Deutshland class pocket battleship for the heavy cruiser piece?  Extremely cool.
It looks as though you stuck with the Graf Zepplin for the carrier and Bismarck for the battleship.  That’s good.  These look a lot nicer and more detailed than WOTC ships.  I was originally planning on getting the black Germans to supplement my current pieces, but now I am leaning toward getting the grey and simply replacing my WOTC pieces.  The FMG pieces will have so much more detail.

I just thought of something.  Will the second infantry sculpt have an MP 40?  That would be neat.  Didn’t one of the Italian infantry have a sub machine gun?

If this is so, is that how all the infantry pieces for all nations going to be?  One with a rifle and one with a sub machine gun?  That would be real cool.  The only country’s infantry that I can’t remember seeing use a sub machine gun is Japan.  All the others have one version or another.
USA = Thompson
UK = Sten
USSR = Ppsh 41
Germany = MP 40
Italy = I don’t know
Japan = ???
ANZAC = probably Sten like UK
China = probably Thompson
France = ???

Those German infantry look awesome, FMG!

Germany = MP 40
Italy = berreta
Japan =type 100 9mm
ANZAC = probably Sten like UK-no but i cant remember what
China = probably Thompson-also no
France = a good portion sten if i can rember corectly

pieces, must have pieces…

doecent any one think that the heat looks big???

Those are some fantastic German pieces…  :-o

Yes all these German pieces look great.

Once again your samples look amazing. Keep up the good work FMG.

OMG! speechless in admiration of the new pic’s!
Thoes426 :evil:

knp: The Free French used all manner of UK/UK weapons, the French resistence used many, many stens (it was almost kinda the standard air-drop to the resistence forces gun, as they were cheap and plentiful and light.)  If, however, you’re looking for a genuine French, used by regulars in the early war weapon…
There was at least one French smg, FYI, the MAS 38

btw, little piece of fun trivia: the pre-revolutionary French navy had a rather interesting naval jack: a plain white flag.  (No joke, they really did!)

FMG: Interesting choice, going for the “Pocket Battleship” as a cruiser.  Now we definitely have to have a Dunkirque Class French battlecruiser to respond to it!  (…and a Richelieu Class BB to respond to the Bismark…)  That’ll at least give the French SOMETHING useful to do past turn 2…

you do have a destroyer as well dont you FMG?

@cminke:

you do have a destroyer as well dont you FMG?

Yes we do.  More pictures will follow soon.

Dr Larsen,
Thanks for the info and pic on the French sub machine gun.  That’s cool.  It looks like a strange mix between a Thompson and a German Schmeiser.

Cminke,
Thanks for the info on the Italian (I should have figured it was barreta, duh.) and Japanese SMGs.  I have to disagree with you on the Chinese though.  They were getting a ton of stuff from the US through Lend-Lease and I’m sure they got a lot of Thompson SMGs among other things.  Well, at least the Nationalist Chinese.  I don’t think the US did much for the Communist Chinese as there was distrust of Communists by the Western powers all along.
