Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

@Imperious:

well now FMG should make its own Major and Minor factories, AA guns, and air and naval bases … all in national colors. It will fill the void

Done, Done, Done and Done and Done!

These last min additions made the cut…  It seems the factories foot dragging at getting the major sculpts completed has actually worked out and I was able to add these to the set.

I have been upset with how slow they move but I guess it was just good Karma  8-)

[Imperious Leader]

So if things go well, the next project would have:

Major and Minor Factories 1

Flak battery 1

Air base 1

Naval base 1

Blockhouse ( fortification unit) 1

HQ unit 1

Heavy Tanks ( 6 total including italy) 6

Airborne ( same mold for UK USA USSR Japan, different for Germany Italy) 2

Heavy Bombers ( Germany Italy on one, Japan on one, UK USA on one, USSR on one) total 4 unigue molds

ANZAC infantry

French Infantry

French Tanks

French Artillery

Tank Destroyers ( 6 molds)

Rockets ( Based on V-2 design or V-1)  one sculpt only

Chips to be used for the game and also for money:

One side looks like a normal chip with FMG logo, Other side says either 1, 5, 10 in White, Red , Blue used to count a players IPC if used on this side.

@FieldMarshalGames:

Done, Done, Done and Done and Done!

FMG - WE LOVE YOU - THIS IS TOTALLY AWESOME

Heaven on earth, I never could imagine it would happen in my lifetime.

@C_Strabala:

Let’s focus on getting the Italians taken care of first before we worry about the ANZAC or French. This thread is getting off subject….

Every thread in every discussion forums will get off topic sooner or later. This happen because the Trolls have no disregard for human life and needs.

IL should make a sticky and closed thread where FMG only post information about the prosject.

Then we can keep this thread for small talk and jokes and BS.

FMG has said that all of these will be in the first project, not the next one. Or that my understanding

This is correct.  We want these units to be in the core set.  To be included with each nation.  We are working on them now!  Airbases and Naval bases will be actual 3D units rather than tokens or chips!

FMG, What can I say. You are the greatest.

[bennyboyg]

Augh It’s going to be so hard waiting haha. :lol:

@Imperious:

ANZAC infantry

French Infantry

Their are also going to be two types of tanks, so heavy tanks are taken care of as well. I suppose airborne infantry could be taken care of aswell since their will be two infantry molds. ANZAC and France will also have their own complete set.

FMG, can you please post all the machines of war you are planning to base your molds on. We can give you a lot of feedback I what would most likly sell.

Then people should post pictures of what it should look like…

It’s been more than a sec, and I am still waiting……

I think a round light grey token with something in the way of a number of some of these structures embossed on top, and the words ‘naval port’ along the rim of the token.

Air base would be similar but with a tower on the side and a runway next to it with some little planes embossed on it. ‘Airbase’ script written along the rim.

[johnnymarr]

i think it would still be great to get some task force markers, like in AAP

[Imperious Leader]

But i think the map is large enough this time

[johnnymarr]

its never been an issue of space for me, its been more of moving a large fleet 2 spaces one unit at a time.  just easier to move a task marker

[Bob_A_Mickelson]

Great News on adding the AA40 cardboard unit sculpts FMG. I’ll have to order at least 2 complete sets. Maybe 4.

So for clarity sake, will be France, China, and ANZAC be represented in the complete set or will we have to wait for a second release?

Also for clarity sake, the units listed below are the ones that made the final cut into the set correct?
*units are those which are not currently found in AA40 (most of which should have been)

Naval Units:
Transport
Submarine
Destroyer
Cruiser
Carrier
Battleship
*Task Force Marker (Similar to AAP)

Air Units:
Fighter
Bomber
Dive Bomber (TAC Bomber)
*Air Transport

Army Units:
*Infantry (Two Sculpts each)
*Armour (Two Sculpts each)
Artillery
Half Track
*Truck
*Commander Unit

Other Units Bonus:
*Major Factory
*Minor Factory
*AA Gun
*Bunker Unit (fortification)
*Naval Base Unit-Marker
*Air Base Unit-Marker
*Army HQ Unit-Marker

FMG is this list correct?

I remember twenty or thirty pages ago he said something about am Army Group marker similar to a task force marker for land units.

I am very pleased with the developments of the FMG project, but I hope we don’t make the project too cumbersome with the recent scope creep.  I am certain FMG will give us the most they can as quickly as possible.  Lets make sure he sells enough to keep the project going to the end.  Talk to your friends that play, both face-to-face and online.

So you want to have all of those beautiful ships off of the gameboard?

Agreed.

Personally I never use the task marker as I would rather keep my whole armada of ships on the board itself.

[Viracocha]

I agree - why would you ever want the task force markers (rubbish)?  When there will be enough room to display all the fantastic ships - and it looks far more intimidating/cool.
