Hi shintokamikaze,
I’m in the UK as well and you’re right - AAE40 is not yet listed on Amazon.co.uk. I expect it will be another week before any distributers over get their hands on the game. You may be better off ordering it from the US anyway, as I expect it will cost you about £75 from the UK.
Yeah, I think it would have been cool if the Germans got the Panzer IV tank and the Stug III assault gun (in keeping with the Italian tank/assualt gun combo), but I am more than happy with the Panzer III tank and whatever the Germans get for their 2nd Tank - hopefully the Tiger I.
Oh Sheet! I can’t believe we didn’t notice this before! :oops: Crumbs, is it too late now FMG?
Wow, that must be very exciting! :-) I’m looking forward to reading people’s first impressions!
It looks like the end results of the game? For some reason, I was expecting a video of the entire game. :roll:
Bump?
(sniff sniff…) :cry:
I tell you what - this thing is a REAL trial of one’s patience! I’m doing everything in my power to keep from typing: “FMG! Please give us some news!!” Seriously, I am checking this thread God knows how many times a day… :oops:
And the God’s honest truth is that I’m more excited about FMG’s Italy set than I am about A&A Europe 40… Now that’s gotta be saying something!
Nice ideas mate. I reckon if Larry really puts his mind to it, he could come up with a decent Stalingrad game. It’s the one we’ve all been waiting for for at least a decade, I’d say.
By the way, it’s Shaving Ryan’s Privates.
How long now is it now, Razor? :-)
Didn’t I just see that posted somewhere before? Please expand on your theory…
Well, on the plus side - Italian Cruisers are now of the AA42 variety (better size, and without the stubbed stern). Not sure if the Italian Battleship is the AA42 German variety (as opposed to the smaller AA50 varient) but I hope so.
Also, we now have Italian Heavy Tanks for house rules! And maybe Heavy Artillery too! :-)
Jolly rotten of them to leave off the United Kingdom flag! We Britons were fighting 'til the end! Tally Ho, we shall never surrender! What what! :lol:
Seriously, WOTC messed up again!
Hey FMG, do you have any strict guidelines with regards to A&A.Org members being qualified for the discount? Also, is there any reminder or mention of the discount on the shopping cart/checkout page of your website? I only ask because, knowing me, I’m going to forget to enter this discount code at the crucial moment! :|
I don’t know how you do it mate. It would drive me bloody mad. Do you think you could perhaps make some kind of stencil for the roundels? Maybe out of thin sticky plastic or something (like laminate)… Just stick it on and paint over it. Too tricky, I expect.
Forgive me, but isn’t the French Battleship sculpt actually the same as the Soviet Union one from AA42?
And also, what of the Aircraft Carriers?
I see the Italians have got their original Infantry sculpt, as well as the German Tank (Panther), the SdKfz 251 Mech Infantry, and Flak 88 Artillery. I do like the Stuka Tac Bomber. Other than that, they have the German Fighter and Bomber pieces, as well as all the German Naval pieces from AA50. Looks cool to me.
knp7765, many thanks to you for clearing this up! :-)
It’s just that I was under the impression that the Fiat BR20 sculpt had already been described by some viewers as being the Japanese G4M. Sorry about the confusion. I’m sure FMG will clarify all this in time.
Thought I would add,the Italian Fiat BR20 was used by Japan(85 planes) during the early
war period.Also used by several other countries.
FMG, can you confirm whether the Fiat BR20 will also be included in the Japan set, designated as the Japanese ‘Betty’ bomber? Or, will this unit be desiganted as the Japanese Mitsubishi G4M bomber?
Do you have any firm plans for these units for Japan yet? Thank you.
Yes, we Brits will have to wait a long time for shipping. :-( But I will look around to see where I can get it the cheapest. The FLGS where I live is still selling Pac 40 for £75.00, which is about $117.20 (US). Is that a good deal? Probably not… I will likely order from FMG if their shipping rates aren’t too high.
