@ FMG - I just a quick question regarding the plastic piece list for each national set, as posted below:
@FieldMarshallGames:
26 Infantry
12 Artillery
12 Armour
12 Fighters
9 Bombers
12 Submarines
12 Destroyers
9 Cruisers
6 Battleships
6 Aircraft Carriers
12 Transports
NEW
6 Bunkers / Pill Boxes
3 Commander Units
12 Half tracks
12 Trucks
3 Task Force Markers (Like Pacific)
3 ********* Special Surprise
However, I noticed that several piece types from your later announcements haven’t been listed here. Basically, I would be interested to know how many Minor and Major Industries, Airbases, Naval Bases, and AA Emplacements will be included per national set. Thank you.
Also, are all of the numbers in the above list currently correct? In light of AAA Pacific 1940, I would prefer about 8 BBs and CVs to be included per national set, but I understand that this may not be possible, due to development costs and the present late stage of production.
The above list is outdated. I will post a revised list for each Nation.
For example… Russia will have fewer Carriers and BB than Japan, but more infantry etc…
yes that makes alot of sence. The Soviets don’t need many naval units…just the minimum, but more land units.
I would think getting the FMG Italians for sale before AAE40 comes out should be a priority. The only Italian unit in AAE40 will be infantry. WOTC is actually moving backwards because the Italian tank was not ready in time for printing.
@ FMG - Sounds good to me; it makes sense for unit types to vary among nations. You don’t have to rush to post the updated list if you’re not ready, although I for one am quite interested in seeing it. 8-)
@i:
wait you wont plastic minorIC majorIC NB and AB what would they look like?
i think card board is good because you can put guys on it saves room.
If you want cardboard, then use the cardboard crap that WOTC has already provided.

We are pushing the sculptors and the factory as hard as we can to get the Italians ready for release.
Problem is they are going into their “Holiday” for two weeks now… We will release the Italians ASAP, hopefully that will fund the remainder for the project.

Excellent. Which country’s next after Italy?

Any guess on price yet for those Italians? Ballpark?
I will wait until the complete set is available.
We are going to Do JAPAN following ITALY.
I can’t discuss price yet as I am not sure what my total cost will be once complete. I think it is going to be more than the $60 I guesstemated a year a go….

A wise and natural choice to go Japan next because of the lack of tac-bombers in the 1940 games, and Italy first since they will just have the infantry sculpts unique.
What the third nation will be is harder to guess perhaps…… ;)

Will the “more than $60”* be for the entire set of all countries or will it be “more then $60”* for each country individually? Regardless I will be getting at least one set if not more.
*Used because the price isn’t known yet.

It’s 60+++ for each nation. Remeber it’s alot of pieces, and made in better quality. Perhaps they will prize the nations differently, for instance France with a smaller pack, or a combined France/China package.

Actually, in the project thread (dedicated solely to updates and not our aimless banter) it states that they’re hoping to do it for $60 for the complete set, not per country.
So even if it is more … definately worth considering for the quality!
The destroyer prototype is ready. FMG will upload the image shortly.
It looks great.

This man is correct. The entire cost will be for the whole set. We will sell them individually as they are released. The price can not be 100% determined at this time as the cost of the project has not been defined yet.
We will make it as affordable as possible, leaving a modest profit for investment in other cool products (That is how all our products have worked, community support on one has lead to another). As this project has expanded in scope since its inception due to community involvement and requests… and things that just HAVE TO BE done… the final cost will reflect this.
In the end, regardless… we aim to make the DEFINITIVE set. One time purchase for endless use and expansions in future.
A bit of an odd request but, could you post a pic of all the naval pieces next to each other? I’d like a comparison similar to the infantry pic you did. Thanks FMG, looking great!

I can get this for you once I have the samples in my hand. These are all individual pictures from the factory.
