I have US Marines on my website from the Axis & Allies game Pacific 2001 if you are needing them.

Coach I know it is VERY EARLY but it seems you are very aggressive on these new pieces. I don’t want to hold you to a timeline but I was curious if were talking late this year, early next year, middle next year or you get the picture. Thanks
Sanchez, if you go to his website he has target dates listed. They are July for the Axis Minors, August for the Marines, and September for the US set. Coach, if FMG decides not to do the Mustang, will you please please please make it!
im pretty sure he wall have a poll up for US when it gets closer to the resales of US pieces, that being said the mustang should be one of the options.
If FMG is not going to make an M3 Stuart light tank then that would be a good sculpt to consider. The Marines used a lot of them against the Japanese. They were generaly superior to the Japanese tanks. They had a role in Europe as well.

I am making Stuart in the US set.
I will also poll to find out what people prefer in equipment.
I will make the P-40 in the Nationalist Chinese set.

VERY COOL!!
The U.S. had a small 75mm Artillery piece that both Airborne & Marines used, it was easy to maneuver and much smaller than other pieces. I am torn even to do a artillery piece just because there is nothing special about the artillery. So maybe I should leave the artillery piece out. What do you think?
For the Marines set I don’t need an artillery. I may be alone on this but frankly I’d rather have an amphibious Sherman for the set.
Great choice with the Stuart and P40!

Yeah, the Marines could just use regular US artillery pieces.
yeah i can live with out a marine specific artillery, im happy as long as you make the infantry and the Corsair for the marines
Wonder if I should put some LCM’s ?
ok, in a pack of 26 pieces:
12 Marines
2 Flamethrowers
4 LVT
6 Corsair
I added a LCM to the poll as well as a Infantry with flame thrower, modify your votes if needed.

You have 24 pieces listed. What are the other two? Are the two flamethrowers listed infantry or shermans?
Flamethrower Shermans would be awesome! I cannot change my vote so let it be known I support the LCM!
Looks like a pretty good lineup to me, but Fishmoto is right, you only have 24 pieces listed.
The flamethrower Shermans would be a great piece for this set.
whats the visual differences between a regular Sherman and a flame throwing Sherman?

I have seen a couple different versions. One had a short flame barrel mounted in the hull where a machine gun would normally go. I think this one had a very limited range. The other had a longer flame barrel mounted in the turret along side the 75mm gun.

Marines with Flamethrowers could say subtract a (-1) to say a fortification on a island. Give them a +1 against regular Infantry or subtract a advantage to a veteran Infantry unit. You can use it for your own house rules or it can be just a simple Marine unit even if it is carrying a flamethrower. better now than in 6 months when people are asking for a second sculpt for a marine.
as for the Sherman Flamethrower, I am hesitant because of the little difference in the look of a Sherman tank. But it is not out of the question, I have to have my final sculpt pic in about two weeks so i have some time to make some changes.
I am trying to keep the cost down for these pieces, but one more sculpt will not affect the cost.
12 Marines
2 Flamethrowers (marine)
2 Sherman (Flamethrowers)
4 LVT
6 Corsair
How’s this?
