Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

I will be demonstrating my new game at GEEKWAY to the West in St. Louis in May 2025… There will be 2 games on Friday and 2 on Saturday. The WWII setup of the game will be played each day from 0900 to 1430 each day… while the empire build-up no teams version will be played from 1630 to 2330 each day… Please see the web site for sign up and to get a badge to come to the convention…

Hope to see you there… Charles Fontaine

Okay gang,

Paul and I are going to start two separate projects from this point forward. Paul will do his best to preserve the info from this thread as it pertains to his game which you can follow here:

As far as my game (simplified version using more or less OOB pieces) you can follow it in this thread:

Thank you everyone and we both encourage full participation and idea sharing in both our ventures. As Paul says, we want to have MORE FUN!

This is a very novel idea! Seems like board games are getting more like video games. I blame Civilization for merging the two ( and I own both board and video games  :-D)  Can’t wait to try it. We already have a “Risk” playgroup. This takes it to the next level. Maybe certain factions would only be allowed certain brands of alcohol…

Irock, Warrior, and Others,

As you may already know by now we are, as we speak, working on a new series of games as I just described below.  The (proposed) name is:

Expanded A&A-The Naval Series with the 1st game to be Coral Sea and The Solomons Campaign.

We’re investigating the possibility that you could play 2 or 3 COMPLETELY separate games on the same map(at DIFFERRENT times).  the Coral Sea naval-air battle, the huge Solomons Campaign, and maybe a Battle of the Bismark Sea scenario, too.

I’ve had so many players express their interest and approval in my stated goal for a game that would be designed based on a “Battle-Specific”(the Solomons Campaign) map, Enlarged to
G-40 size, and utilizing all the new units and their new capabilities.

I think that this would be nothing short of a revolution in our A&A gameplay.

Of course none of this would be the least bit possible without HBG and FMG making available all of the wonderful new units that they plan.  My hat’s off to them for their efforts here.

Tigerman, as an experienced “Map Master”, has agreed to do the map(Haleluyah!!!) which will take a bit of time as what we’re proposing is HUGE!  Not only in the amount of changes, new rules, and improvements(?) that we plan, but in shear SIZE as well.

Stay tuned to the various postings for updates.

And if this seems the least bit interesting to you, get INVOLVED and let us know YOUR ideas or opinions.  We will all benefit from having all ideas considerred.

We’ve started our own thread here in the Variants Section for this game called
Expanded A&A-The Naval Series    Coral Sea and The Solomons Campaign.
Stop in and check it out, ask questions, or offer suggestions anytime.

Like I Say,……What Do YA’LL Think???

I think you should add cavalry because the British had a cavalry division at the start of the war. Also the ANZAC’s had cavalry divisions even though the did not use them in Gallopoli and will you include rules about terrain such as the hills in turkey that meant the ANZAC infantry became fodder. Also will there be sea units used for transportation? You could also create a tech that meant Art could fire poison rounds that decreased Inf def and also killed halve of Inf stack.

Check out tripleA, They have “the Great War” And “The Great War 1918” Available to play

What exactly are you asking for?

Games of any type with a Napoleonic theme?

Or Variants of games ( in Axis and Allies style) only posted here that are free download, but indexed so you dont have to search for them?

I have a few things to offer, but seek your clarification first.

Here are my versions of:

Operation: Market Garden
