COMBAT DICE UPDATE - FMG

A HUGE thanks to everyone here for your support over the years and to HBG for their efforts to aid us during this difficult period.

Thank you

Jeremy

Hmmm… you know, I had wondered whether FMG would do black Combat Dice for the black Germany Combat Units… Go on, please to it!! Black dice would be such a turn on!  :-P

now all it needs are your pieces

@12doze12:

This topic is a bit … off-topic but what all of us would be if there was no FMG …

1 - We would be desperate because the Italians use the same sculpts of Germany and France the same has SU … but FMG made a set of units for the Italian and is making one for France.

2 - We would bored of the same simple dices … but FMG made a set of 3 dices for each faction.

3 - We wouldn’t know where to put all of the Europe and Pacific 1940 content … but FMG made a box where you can put everything.

4 - We would be suspicious if our adversary is trying to role the dices to make small numbers came out … but FMG made a dice turret.

So what will it be to play this game without FMG ???

And Historical War Gamming, you also made our life better.

1 - Painted pieces for almost all important nations of ww2.

2 - You sell each unit from any game separatly.

3 - And you now are making a set for minor axis and marines.

FMG and HBG, you saved us !!!

Thank you…don’t forget the Custom Roundels and new maps too!
The United States sculpting will start this week for the third set.

Sorry I forgot those xD United States set ?  :-P

use SPA’s as the current atry and have arts as heavys….ie can attack 1 ajacent zone…cannot attack if beeing attaked…ect

@FieldMarshalGames:

Just wanted to mention also that I REALLY like the Corsair.  It was a fighter/Tac bomber.

If it was only up to me I would use it as the Tac bomber…  But Im sure most will wnat a more “iconic” Tac bomber for the USA.

this was a quote from FMG page 70 in the Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread
IF Fmg is going to stay with this idea can you please keep it the same size as regular fighters

@knp7765:

Well, we have to get the FMG Tigers first. There was a pic of two of the prototype FMG King Tigers with an OOB Panther to give you some idea of size comparison.
The HBG Shermans are a bit smaller than the OOB Shermans, which I think makes them look more realistic compared to the OOB Panthers. The OOB Shermans were a little too large in my opinion. The Panther was a pretty big tank.
However, I think WOTC made the Shermans this way because all OOB pieces seem to be within a certain range for each different type of unit. For Example, all Aircraft Carriers are 64mm long, all battleships are between 58 and 62 mm long, and so on. I think all the tanks were between 20 and 22 mm long. I think this was WOTC’s way of keeping some sort of continuity between sculpts. So while the Panthers and Tigers look okay, Shermans look a little too big. That’s especially true with Japan’s Type 95. On the board, it’s as big as a Sherman yet in real life, the Type 95 was a tiny tank. Not nearly as big as a Sherman and not even close to the size of a Panther. I think if a Type 95 was made to the same scale as the Panther, the piece would be around 13-15mm in length and end up looking like the tiny mech inf units.

Hey KNP, the OOB Sherman in the AA50 is smaller and pretty much the same size as the HBG Sherman (btw).
