Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

@AndrewAAGamer Dear Sir… Yes the Map is 6 feet by 10 feet. The purpose of the map design is to make it both geographical as well as politically correct for 31 Aug - 1939… In the 28 years and 12 version of this game I have crafted… and roughly 400 play test games… you are the first to suggest to get rid of the blow up boxes… and I would if I could keep the ratio the same… The blow-up boxes are not that large in comparison to the total map… As for the pieces, I totally re-designed them for this version and reprinted all 4000 pieces on my 3-d printer… While some of the pieces did not change in size -but in more detail… none were made bigger… all but 1 of the ship designs were made slightly shorter and thinner… but I really appreciate your insight for my game… If youre in the Tulsa, OK area near the end of February of 2026… come to the game con and see it for yourself… Also if you like send me an email at cefjr1961@gmail.com and I will send you .pdf files for both the map and rules…
Sincerely;

Charles Fontaine

Yeah, lock Larry in a small room so the game wouldn’t have crazy stuff like capturing capitals and collecting money at the end of a turn.

Start in 1901 and let the powers go at it as they will.

How do you intend to play test? Like in your area, or online? Because with the latter I’m sure the community would love to help you out.

@knp7765:

Hey coach, I was just looking at your list for the Axis Minors set and it says there will only be 2 Panzer IIIs per set.  About a week or so back, I could have sworn it said 4 Panzer IIIs.  I take it you decided to put in more of one of the other units?
I was wondering, when you get these pieces going, will you be selling them individually as well as in sets?

I am playing with the numbers and sculpts right now.
It is not always what I want in a mold but comes down to money. I will sell these as sets but will offer them for sale on individual pieces after a couple months. At least that is the plan. You might even see it in another set of German pieces.

I recently got a copy of Conquest Gaming’s “A House Divided The Brothers War”.  It is an area movement game that uses miniatures and, because of the railroad movement in addition to regular movement, 6 distinct theaters (3 per side),general and event cards that modify the fighting troops abilities, is a very interesting game to play.  It is tough for the North to survive the opening rounds because of their relatively weak starting generals and troop levels, but because of the reinforcement advantage, if it can hang on the game becomes winable for it.  Another interesting and historical feature is that many of the South’s generals have good infantry, cavalry and artillery modifiers while many of the North’s generals are lesser, but all the main generals are represented so eventually the North draws Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, Grant, etc. But, of course, the South continues to draw generals each turn so Longstreet, Stuart, Pemberton and Lee appear (Beauregard and Jackson start the game in play).  You have to provide your own pieces, the pieces from the Napoleon Risk will work, but I had enough pieces from Battle Cry to play the game.  The game is only $13 and with about $10 shipping is still are good buy for such an interesting game.

Do you have a copy of the rules?
