Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

I do not remember what the CALL TO ARMS was. Senior moment! I got the Italian dice in my original dice order many months ago. So I guess I will just have to wait and see if any dice come with the Italians.

@jim010:

By the way, am I one of those 5 sets shipped to Canada?

I’m sure that Jeremy has better things to do than to inform us all individually on this form as to whose orders have been sent.

I just checked my email and I didnt have a shipping notice so I assume that means I’m not one of the lucky ones and will just have wait till the 2nd order comes through.

Keep up the good work Jeremy.

Since he only sent 5 to Canada, I’m sure he remembers the names.  I’m sure that I am allowed to ask  :roll:.

Never mind.  Got mine today in the mail.  Thanks Jeremy.

Cheers

iono if i posted this already but, can we take the dice as evidence that there might be a Canada set with infantry specific pieces like Anzac?

JAPAN-why is japan neglected.  What units are planned for this Axis Country?

Thanks Fish,

I’m in Jax(FLA),so maybe mine won’t b to far behind!

Thanks for the dice, by the way Jeremy.

FYI, just caught my son tasting the trucks.  He thought it was chocolate.

COMBAT UNITS ITALY are now avaliable for INDIVIDUAL UNIT Sale at HistoricalBoardGaming.com

And you’re doing U.K. when? After U.S.?

@Lozmoid:

Yes, UK will follow USA

What battleship did you choose to do for UK?

@jim010:

I will have to check, but I think it was King George V?

If that is the case, then you will have my money for this as well.

I know you have said that the unit colours will match the combat dice (thanks for the set you sent with my Italians, by the way), but it is hard to judge how well the colour matches Hasbro’s pieces.  How close is your UK colour to Hasbro’s?

And without looking through180 pages, where do you have France in the que?

Cheers

Hi

Is this the right color? Is the color for the italian units historical bord gaming sells different from the pieces FMG selling?
These looks more tan than dark brown. Actually I like this color.

It is very hard to see true colour from a picture on a computer.  They are exactly the same.

As you can tell from ALL your AAA games…  UK has always varied in it’s colour.  Our colour is exact to one of the releases, I just can’t remember which one.

FRANCE will be done last.

Color of the (or at least my) combat dice is (pretty close to) exact to AA50th Anniversary edition UK pieces.  Which I believe are the same as the 1940 edition pieces as well.

the order is , and correct me if im wrong,
italy(done)
germany(almost done)
usa(current)
russia
uk/anzac/canada/(india?(inf?))
japan
france

The Italians arrived today! Only eleven months after the pre-order. Photo is the Italian fleet during our current game.

Some of the Italians in the Med. area. The plastic is a might softer then the OOB units. A few of the subs and destroyers were bent. I can bend them back but thet do not stay straight. A heat gun will be required to fix them but you will have to be very carefull with the heat. Might have to use a little weight on them till they cool. The weight cannot be too much as it might mash the masts and conning towers.
