I agree, it is sexy, but it is not a heavy bomber and I would like to see a He 177 becasue it was the only German heavy bomber produced on a large scale.
I would like to add my voice to the B-25 for the USA. I would love to see the P-51 but I wouldn’t mind seeing the Corsair for the carriers instead. I’d also like to see one infantry piece (maybe in a later offering) that is an officer. As for the artillery pieces, lets stick with actual artillery instead of some of the anti-tank guns. Most A&A arty pieces are already anti-tank guns anyway except for the German flak gun, which was used as both an AA weapon and in direct fire mode, not as a real artillery piece either.
Keep going FMG. We’re pulling for you!

I am too really divded on whether I would like a B-25 or B-29.
I prefer the P-51 to the corsair becasue the US already has a carrier plane.
FMG has said in this set that their will be officer pieces in addition to the 2 infantry pieces
About the artllery, the German 88mm is the only antitank gun mold made for A&A, the allied 105mm is the straightest artllery peice ever and the japanese artllery is some kind of infantry gun.
I have only suggested the FMG make self-proppeld and rocket artillery. The only anti-tank peice suggested to represent artillery is the Jackson M36 tank destoyer, and I too question that and am in favor of the M7 Priest.
yea P-51. The current fighter satisfies the carrier based plane requirement
Not to change the subject but I was # 70 yesterday when I took FMG pole to prepay, so its still growing. I also plan on getting a set of battle dice for AA50 maybe two. So keep spreading the word.

This is still up and running. I am just not taking money until I have some samples to show. Thank you for the interest!
IL, I was thinking maybe you could re-post this project in other parts of the forum. It would affect all the AA games & house rules etc. Not everyone that comes to this forum would come to variants. Might help get the word out just a thought.
Anything with “lets talk…” is basically that, so we have enough on our plate.
Wild Billy …
Or were you sugesting that IL make a notice in the other fora (AAR, AA50, AAG, AAE, AAP, AABulge & AAD-Day) to make sure the whole community is aware of this project? That is how I understood your question. Take care.
i think thats a good idea. i’ve been coming to this site for a couple years, but never went to the variants page until a couple days ago but am extemely excited for these game pieces

this should be Italian bomber
If you want to set up prepay, im ready as soon as you are.
Awwhh, that bomber is sweat as heck. Triple engine? Man, that’s exactly what Italy needs, a unique piece that stands out. +1 Karma
Hey guys! I’m excited to make this my first post ( long time lurker ). I’m in for a set of nice game pieces and probably some dice too. You guys make great stuff. You’ve got my $$$.
Do you guys think the Russian Bomber should be the PE-8, cause we already have that. I was thinking of a double engine like the IL-4 so that Russia would have both a heavy and medium bomber
It should definatly be a new type of unit, because the FMG pieces should do BOTH replace the standard set, AND use sculpts that are of a slightly different category, so many more types of units can be used for various house rules.
This means that FMG does not make another T-34/76 Soviet tank, but makes a KV-1 or SU-122, so players can have the flexibility in either swapping out the OOB pieces for FMG pieces, or adding the FMG pieces as new types of units or units that have special roles.
ya, so we should want the Russian Fighter to be the IL-2 and the Russian bomber to be the IL-4, right?
IL-2, ground attack fighter
IL-4, Medium Bomber
IL-2 is great. This can be a special divebomber type. That should be the fighter
we have a Yak from the original game and from the new AA42
we also have the pe-8 bomber
so for the bomber choice use the IL-4

Yea that’s exactly what I was saying, make a post (maybe a sticky) in the other sections. I’m sure that there is a large % of gamers that don’t go to AA Variants, and have no idea about the new sculpts coming. WB
Sorry I butchered the quotes, don’t know how to do it properly.
yes please explain this. We obviously want to help get the word out, but the topic is set as sticky. Perhaps we could make some in Variant section
