Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

A bit of an odd request but, could you post a pic of all the naval pieces next to each other? I’d like a comparison similar to the infantry pic you did. Thanks FMG, looking great!

I can get this for you once I have the samples in my hand.  These are all individual pictures from the factory.

Understood and appreciated.

@Rorschach:

Actually, in the project thread (dedicated solely to updates and not our aimless banter) it states that they’re hoping to do it for $60 for the complete set, not per country.

So even if it is more … definitely worth considering for the quality!

Thanks for the clarifying.  I was just thinking about how much money it was going to cost to get this all done and thinking that if it was $60ish for an entire set for the six countries, that would make it $10ish for an individual country and that just didn’t seem right.

Once again, just let me reiterate what everyone else on this board has said by saying Thank you FMG!  I have a set of the dice and they are great.  They let us stop using our “cursed” dice, don’t ask.

Maybe FMG will make a combined set of dice and playing pieces. Please.

Ok, you just confused me. The last FMG post seemed to clarify it was around $60 or $60 plus for the whole set. So yes, about $10 or more per country.

That post was old and just an estimate.  I will not comment on price until the final “bill” lands on my desk.

Personally, since I live in Italy and I know that the shipping cost is really high, I think I will buy the entire set once it will be released. But I can’t wait too long to get the COOLEST Italian Miniatures I’ve never seen…

So, what about those of us who want Italian pieces in light grey, and Japan in white?  Would this cost extra, or is it too much fiddling about to be worth it?

If a set for “endless use and expansions” is possible, this must include such units as armoured trains, and jet fighters for techs.  My games would never feel complete without these.

I wish we could accommodate all this…  but each set would cost $1000 and we would be complete in 2023 if we could make everyone happy.  There had to be a point where we just stopped adding stuff.

In the end the set will have MORE than is needed to play AAA, with any units we can see being added in the foreseeable future.

I don’t want to wait until 2023. What is your best guess at a release date?

Our goal is completion this year.  No worries…

I was just saying that we can’t make everything.  There is a point where cost gets to high etc…

@i:

im not sure if this was asked but will the ammo box be combined with the peciese you make??

YES, we will add an option to the AMMO BOX product where you can get the full pcs set in a combo and save alittle money on each.

So far all we have seen are Italian pieces. Are you currently working on all of the other nations?

One Nation at a time.  ITALY first, then JAPAN… etc etc.  The Italians are almost complete and the project is picking up pace.

Is it going to take the same amount of time for each of the other nations as it is for Italy?

I would think NO.

That is what I am hoping.

I’m pretty sure this was covered a billion pages back.  hehe.

Once the factory has Italy done, they will know exactly what kind of quality FMG is willing to accept and can knock out the rest of the countries a lot faster.  That first set is always going to take longer if you are strict about your expectations on quality.

Yeah but are the molds being made or are they already made?
