This should be the background music for FMG’s upcoming youtube introduction to their newest German set:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w17MamPY7A
Wagner’s Prelude 1 to Act I of Parsifal!!! Skip to 05:23 and you will hear the thunderous entrance of the Panzers as they are ushered in to the accompaniment of French horns and other brass: Priceless!
Maybe France can leap frog past the brits to a quicker production!
Are table tactics halftracks still available?== because they did come with the now defunct “Central Powers” expansion set.
Hopefully, this poll will influence them one way or the other which way to proceed.
Sounds good, Coach. Any set made by you would be most welcome.
I chose France because, other than the now out of print Europe 1940, no French Units exist in any of the Axis and Allies line of games.
We know that FMG will be producing the Germans both in Black and Gray and US troops will follow. My question is if you had the choice to make, which Country would you want FMG to produce next?
@coachofmany:
@Tall:
“Coach”,
Although I forgot to say so,…the aircraft that I thought to be the “necessary basics” I put in Bold Face type. And my chart was meant as a reference guide.
BTW, which Japanese a/c has FMG planned on producing?
“Tall Paul”
I haven’t the slightest idea what FMG is preparing for sculpts.
So until we actually know what sculpts or units FMG is going to finalize for its Japanese units this is all speculation because we dont want to end up duplicating what FMg may produce in a set, not to mention getting the color of the units wrong.
I believe its six. :wink:
Got five tanks. One bag had the tank missing and an extra autoblinda piece in its place. jeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Some other lucky buyer therefore is getting an extra tank and one less mech.
I already replaced the Italian pieces with
FMG pieces for the axis and allies Europe 1940.
I would mix and match table tactics pieces for Central Powers with this game.
Why planes? FMG is going to give us all the air and naval units we’ll need??? variations of land units I feel should take priority because as was seen in the FMG Italian set there are an abundance of air and naval units at the expense of armor and land units.
Remember, this is just a supplementary set. The bulk of the units will come from FMG’s set.
banzai units in cap/helmet with sword and pistol. and infantry with rifle-automatic weapon. chinese units
trucks, mech infantry, tac bomber, fortifications -
sets would be in various colors: one color would mirror fmg’s future units, red, burnt orange, blue/purple ( jap imperial guards/marines) and black (elite units)
tanks. armored cars, artillery and planes -28piece total as in the minor sets.
these units would be great to add pieces and supplement such maps for okinawa, singapore and asia engulfed.
Got mine yesterday. CAn’t wait for the Allied Neutral sets to come out.
Yes, Paul, the units in caps lend themselves very well to “Afrika Korps units”. The ivory color would do well.
they said it sold out three months after it came out so the production level must have been really low. They said it was to stay in print for six months or until it sold out.
Thanks for the info, Knp. I guess I’ll just have to use metal units that dont have fragile parts that jut out, like a bare halftrack.
P.S. I just purchase a package of French armor GHQ. “FR1” it came with large tank a smaller one and three half tracks. but you were right about the barrel. It came detached from the turret and and so thin and curvy that it was not salvageable at all. I’m sticking with plastic pieces as I said.
One thing I didn’t see in the reviews is the hardness of plastic. In A&A Inf is medium and other units Hard. In these sets?
FMG plastic is a little softer than OOB and HBG is hard plastic for every piece.
Which takes us to the next question: how will the units hold up to painting them?
@Imperious:
LOL.
I see a pattern here…lack of knowledge about ww1, but still making games based on ww1. hmmmm.
Are you contemplating requesting a refund from them for the 6 set you preordered???
