airborne transport. definately yes. airborne infantry not necessary
you need to get your priorities straight.
A loaded bomber is merely towing the infantry beihind in the glider, thus explaining the range reduction.
yes, merely
turtle, WTF!
The leaders and Commanders will not be political leaders but military leaders. We are aiming at a General unit for each nation in historical Uniform.

Merely, indeed. Of chorse a fully loaded bomber would have a lot of trouble hauling a glider!

When is Field Marshall Games going to put some information about these game pieces on their website?
as soon as they have completed them to the point where they can take a picture.
When can we expect that to take place?

Welcome to the AA forum Brain Damaged,
This thread was started back in 03/18/09 so if there’s any news from FMG, they would have posted it here or the FMG dice thread. Just be patient and check back for news.
Maybe in a month or so… Our factory a few sculpts ready and will be making me some ship samples… So I can see their quality and detail.
When I have anything worth showing I will post a pic.
Any possibility you could make some compartmentalized trays to separate all your nice pieces that would just happen to fit into an AA50 box?
One important thing about the new AA40 game will be the two types of factories: major and minor. I know FMG is still working on national pieces, but it’s just as a heads up.
Also, Anzac will be a quasi major power in AAP40. Perhaps the Anzac pieces should be made before Germany? :|
Yes, Brain Damaged, Welcome to AxisandAllies.org!

well you cant beat Plano for that. I would like to see some smaller wooden boxes with AA logos on top. The thing is the AA50 game basically came with this and its perfect.
I dont think their is enough ‘bang for the buck’ on that idea, but i could be wrong.
I personally don’t want the price inflated to supply fancy boxes or specific cases to fit into an AA box. If you were lucky enough to get an AA50 game then you have most of the cases needed for pieces with the exception of the new powers in the 1940 games. If you were not lucky enough to get an AA50 game then a trip to the dollar store solves your problems. Lets keep the price on these new pieces as low as possible.
I was not intending the boxes to come with the pieces. I meant them as a separate purchase. Yes I was lucky enough to scoop up an AA50 on the first day it showed up at my local game store. I am not happy with the inside of the game piece boxes as they only have 3 compartments.
I think FMG already has some packaging in mind.
By the way, a note on Pacific 1940: China will have both infantry and artillery. Will the FMG China Pieces have “everything”, or just the infantry and artillery?
You know why you never heard stories of the Chinese navy during World War II? That’s because they didn’t have one.
The Chinese to this day cannot even build a Carrier. They had to trick the Russians into saying they want to buy an old one and turn it into a casino, then promptly repaint it and fix it up….Poof! Aircraft Carrier. But that trick only works once.
