Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

@jkprince indeed 🙂

Thank you both for your interest!

@SS-GEN
I mentionned the OOB ways in beginning of my last post.

@CWO:

@empireman:

Light Tank (remove tank)

What does “remove tank” mean?

the tank unit is gone, it is replaced by light and heavy tanks

DFWSupertrooper,

Obviously with my Color mapboard being 4’ x 9’ and in two pieces I had planned for my “Gaming Table” to also be in TWO PIECES that could be combined,…or FOLDABLE for transport purposes.

@Tall:

My “A&A Gang” currently are using our 48" x 108" Black & White map mounted on gator-board and laid onto the tops of two tables.

On my version I planned on having a solid 1/2" A/C plywood base that has 1" x 2" lateral and longitudinal wood braces underneath w/furniture grade wood framing around everything and a glass top over the map.  On the bottom I planned to include mounts for detatchable legs to make it versatile.  These are my interests and I’d be interested in your opinions or options for building this for me.  Thanks for your time.

I just wanted to let you know I’d possibly be interested in a two-piece board that could be folded up for transport purposes.  Obviously the glass on top of each mapboard would also be in two pieces.  Let me know of any ideas/opinions you may have on this subject.

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!

I got a little greedy with this poll.  I voted for 8 pieces.  All 4 aircraft types are a must, plus the V-1 and V-2 rockets.  The Atlantic Wall gun emplacements seem like an interesting idea.  That would make it harder for the Allies to get back into Europe.

How about the Railway Gun?  You could make a piece like the monsterous Gustav 800mm gun.  What a cool piece that would be.  I wonder how you would actually deploy it in the game and what kind of values you would give it (movement, cost, attack, defense).  Perhaps it wouldn’t be a combat piece, but something more special like SBRs.  What a gun!  800mm is about 31.5 inches in diameter.  The massive guns on the Iowa class battleships are 16 inches.  Well, a piece like this may not be feasable, but an interesting idea nonetheless.

I do remember Jack saying something about a new release for the summer.I emailed concerning V2s in the 3 color reinforcement package.I hope its a go.I have all 5 sets.They are great additions to the game(s).I love the WW1 tanks,modern apcs(they work for most
M113 types),and the 1/2 track.I remember in an old interview of his how disappointed he was with the  ships.They are kinda lame,about like Eagle’s types.

I’ve seen all the boardgame geek stuff.  I was thinking more along the lines of a pdf file.  I’m mostly currious about the “new” techs and commando rules.  I guess I’ll just have to buy it off e-bay if I’m really that interested.
