Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

@reloader-1:

The most important thing for these pieces is that they match EXACTLY the colors in AA42/AA50/AAP&E40 of the combatants. if you are going to charge for plastic pieces, make them useful!

I’ve read that the pieces will match the combat dice - that is great, but the combat dice can closely approximate the colors of the pieces and it is ok (they are not on the actual board) - however, the FMG pieces will be intermixed with stock A&A so it is extremely important that they match.

The FMG dice match the A&A pieces in color, so if the FMG pieces match the FMG dice in color, one  can therefore conclude that the FMG pieces will match the A&A pieces in color.

Brain,

Correct - except for Germany. Hence my post - I really feel this is the make or break key to fiscal success for FMG. (I have seen too many plastic-pieced games fail because they overlooked the #1 market, A&A fans)

Does anyone have the pre-order link handy? Been checking the older posts but I haven’t seen it yet.

We’re all waiting for this, it does not exist yet. Keep checking here and at the FMG site.

I did not see tactical bombers on the list. Have I missed somthing?

Their last list included a dive bomber, so I am guessing that will be the tactical bomber you are looking for.

OK Thanks Brain. Thought it would be a waste without a dive bomber.

Hey Field Marshal Games, is there anything at all new that you can tell us? I’m dying for more info here. Please!!  :-) I wanna get my hands on the Italians!

I would be in for a set for sure, I’m so tired of cobbling my pieces together from multiple games just so I can play one game.

I second that Danger Mouse.  These sculpts are going to look fantastic on the board!

I third that Viracocha, and then I would like them painted by the same guy that painted yours :-D

Cheers BD  :mrgreen:

As soon as I have something worth showing I will post it!

Eh eh eh… BD was making a jest, knowing it was me who painted my own minis.  :-D

I currently lack the time to offer detailing services, and even then I’d be uncertain as to cost. Perhaps someday I might do a couple sets from people, possibly more reliant on a barter system/trade of some sort…

FMG,

Could you state what color your German pieces will be when they come out? I want the “official” word.

(and yes, I really really want the Germans to be black, like the 1942/1941/1940 color schemes - I won’t buy them if they come gray)

To which I repeat… “just like the dice”

Including the gray German dice? See my point?
