It would, Johnnymarr, but we are looking to set up a Buy/Sell/Trade forum, and I tend to dig up nice deals like this every so often, so I’ll post them here until we get the new forum set up…

To be honest, Cminke, I have no affiliation with FMG other than being a great fan of his company, and of the work that he is doing.

I am not sure how expensive it is to mold the same units in new colors - it might be a reasonable amount, but only FMG would know. However, making sculpts, and then making molds out of the sculpts, and finally molding plastic units in large quantities, requires a lot of money.

I know FMG will do everything possible to accommodate us in all of our requests.

(Moderator - I will keep posting deals like this here until we get a new forum… hint, hint)

Absolutely dirt cheap! The seller will take $16.95, and has several available. Shipping is dirt cheap at $4.95, and maybe he will combine? Good luck!

If you can save like $10, you will find German pieces on eBay from the original 1984 set.

I am not FMG, but I can pretty much guarantee they will be hard plastic like A&A - otherwise detail in the pieces would pretty much be impossible to see!

Guys, lets be honest about Canada - even making a couple pieces would cost a few thousand dollars, and really you would end up with the exact same UK/India/ANZAC pieces.

As powers in Axis & Allies, we already have:

Russia
Germany
UK
India
ANZAC
Japan
China
US
Italy
France

That is a HUGE investment, in terms of money and time to make pieces. If FMG makes all those, and they sell out succesfully (a big if!), then maybe additional countries could be made. However, if new units will be made, most probably it should be a neutral set, with a pro-axis and a pro-allied neutrals and they would probably include some “cast-off” or “early-war” units, such as Panzer II’s for Spain/Portugal etc, and T-26’s for Mongolia/Turkey etc.

After those have been made, perhaps FMG can make some pieces for Canada - there are a couple ways they could do this, one is by selecting a few pieces from the UK/US selections and just molding them in different colors, or they could make a couple unique land pieces and mold those in a new color. In any case, I do think it will make sense for FMG to do a “Canadian” unique infantry eventually - but much patience will be necessary!

Here’s a reply!

I like to take on the Japanese at the Carolines, myself.

x40000 to what Brain Damaged said - plunk down as much as possible for the Italian pieces - if we all plunked down for $100 worth of pieces, FMG could have the capital necessary to produce as many addt’l sets as you like (assuming “all” of us is at least 500 or so people  :-))

Dylan,

I have three copies - 1 I use, and 2 for future purposes/ eBay/ spares etc.

You can never have too many copies of A&A! I bought 4 copies of 1942 at $15 at Target for that very reason.

Absolutely dirt cheap! I offered $18 for 2 and won, and they have 10+ more to sell. Good luck!

Btw, Cminke, I am not opposed to using different colored pieces for units built in Canada - they would add a little “flavour” to the game, and you could see Canada’s impact in the different fronts (Pacific, Atlantic). They would, however, not be any different than British units and move along with the UK units.

See, I’m not too insane!  :-)

Exactly - who has the power to initiate this change?

Canada had how many troops in WWII? The British Empire is already represented with UK/ ANZAC / India, and Canadian Roundels.

Other than rah-rahing your own particular country, what major impact would adding Canada as a country provide to Axis & Allies? It would break up the UK’s power even more, (a country that can sorely afford that), and strengthen the Axis.

Or are you suggesting we break up the Axis to include the Germans, Italians, Romanians, Hungarians, etc?

Look, I love Canada as much as anyone else does, and they did provide a lot of support in WWII and WWI, but they are definitely not a major power.

And no, I am not mentally insane.

My friend… a little searching never hurt anyone. The top thread in the Axis & Allies Pacific 1940 board has what you are looking for:

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=17094.0

Call it Axis & Allies Accessories?

@cminke:

any one have any pics of the pieces??
:? :? :? :-D :-( :-) :-D

My friend… A little bit of searching would have shown you thread that is two below this called “FMG Pieces Project”

@i:

my earlyer post i didnt get to finnish cause i had to go back to school.

“ahh i have 3 AA games BotB D-Day and revised and my revised germans are almost black :-o” not grey like you said so any ideas where i could get these pieces(is it spelt right now?)

Spelling is perfect - minus “spelt”, which should be spelled  :wink:

As for the Germans - maybe some old Axis & Allies 1984 Germans?

I rock,

Axis & Allies Revised has light gray pieces (it was spelled incorrectly in your post)

I love your enthusiasm for the Axis & Allies line of games - I started playing at 11, so I understand your love for the game.

Guys,

I found out that Italy will not have it’s own dedicated tank model like in AA50 - Can anyone explain the technical reason for this? I thought that once you made a mold you were set - right? I don’t get why this would occur… Anyone?

There is a shrinkwrapped copy for sale on eBay! I am the winning bidder at $60 (high bid $65) but someone else is welcome to it if they bid more. Good luck!

I know that FMG has stated that - I just wanted to reinforce the thought…
