Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

nice work FMG, quite amazing

cant wait to preorder.

looking very stylish indeed. fmg sets for each nation will look quite snazzy on our AA50 boards  8-)

That tank looks great!  I can’t wait to get mine and begin painting them.  I may have to order two sets so I can gave a set with and without paint.  Thanks Jeremy.

Excellent pictures FMG!!! I can’t wait to get my hands on this beautiful set.

The juxtaposition of the WOTC and FMG pieces tells the whole story. I knew FMG was better, but I didn’t know just how much better until now. WOW is all I can say.

Oh my God, that is the best thing I have ever seen! Thank so much for posting this and sign me up for a pre-order! Praise be to Field Marshal Games!  :lol:

@Bob_A_Mickelson:

Great News on adding the AA40 cardboard unit sculpts FMG. I’ll have to order at least 2 complete sets. Maybe 4.

So for clarity sake, will be France, China, and ANZAC be represented in the complete set or will we have to wait for a second release?

Also for clarity sake, the units listed below are the ones that made the final cut into the set correct?
*units are those which are not currently found in AA40 (most of which should have been)

Naval Units:
Transport
Submarine
Destroyer
Cruiser
Carrier
Battleship
*Task Force Marker (Similar to AAP)

Air Units:
Fighter
Bomber
Dive Bomber (TAC Bomber)
*Air Transport

Army Units:
*Infantry (Two Sculpts each)
*Armour (Two Sculpts each)
Artillery
Half Track
*Truck
*Commander Unit

Other Units Bonus:
*Major Factory
*Minor Factory
*AA Gun
*Bunker Unit (fortification)
*Naval Base Unit-Marker
*Air Base Unit-Marker
*Army HQ Unit-Marker

FMG is this list correct?

wondering if this was confirmed by FMG?

This is correct.

This will be a good year, by all means.

FMG, Absolutely OUTSTANDING!  I give you a 21 gun salute from the .50 on my HMMWV (And I mean from a real one and not a toy :-D)

That’s putting our tax dollars to good use. :-D

The detail is night and day.

WOTC is not capable of this quality.

This should be quoted on the FMG web site as an advertisement.

Thank you all for your appreciation of our hard work and commitment to quality.  I am told more Naval units will be ready in a week… can’t wait to show you!

As for the above comment…  We will never blast WOTC or their products.  We love AAA. (and don’t want to get into any legal issues with a GIANT).  We just want to make accessories to improve our gaming experience and share a love for the game!

I think different infantry sculpts to reflect the diversity of some armies adds a nice touch.

I definitely want UK infantry raised in India to look like Indians. I generally favour rules allowing limited infantry builds in any IPC territory regardless of factories, so I can trace Romanian, Hungarian, Finnish and Russian units in the German army for example.

There are possible house rules here such as the Romanians deserting if their home country is captured, or even turning their guns on the Germans…

@Emperor_Taiki:

Maybe FMG could just produce a set of a dozen or so with different nationalties of unquie infantry peices for all the neutrals on the board.

Great idea. Neutral infantry in light grey, like the old factories and AA-guns

Prudent words.  None the less, the truth lives on.  FMG rocks!

The way things are going FMG will be the giant and WOTC will be a memory.

Just finally got a look at the Itailian tank sculpt FMG… absolutely beautiful!!  After seeing this, I’m considering more than 1 pre-order!!!

I just hope I can afford the amount of pieces that I want, because I want a whole lot of them.

In my case I can only afford one set of each nation, so I hope the piece count is good enough.

Today I went to get a couple new Plano boxes so I could organize my pieces after getting the Pacific 1940 game.  We already have a copy of Revised, Pacific, and Guadalcanal.  I also paint my pieces, which is a little tedious, so I like to use those pieces even though they were painted for the Revised game.  I don’t yet have painted cruisers.  Now, with four nations of cruisers, TAC bombers and Mech infantry, I got some catchin up to do.  I also have to paint the whole set of ANZAC pieces (except for the infantry since I painted several British infantry a forest green already instead of the Armor Sand color of my other UK forces).

Now, while I have much work to do when the FMG pieces come out, I will love the task because the pieces are so much better.
