It depends on what “work” means – in other words, on whether players would consider a Kursk scenario appealing. Conceptually, Kursk would be similar to A&A D-Day (minus the water) in the sense that the battle was fundamentally a frontal assault on a heavily-defended static position, and similar to A&A Battle of the Bulge in the sense that it would involve ground forces driving into enemy lines, but different from both games in the sense that from the German point of view Kursk was a pincer movement aimed at pinching off a salient, and that from the Russian point of view it was a two-stage offensive-defensive battle. Personally I think it has good potential to make an interesting game, if it’s designed properly.

@Yoper:
As to the manufacturing place has a two-week holiday…that would be nice but that also tells me it might be a Chinese holiday.
That or it is just Jeremy’s fellow Canadians making a break for warmer climes at this time of the year. :lol:
Or they are big Winter Olympics fans. :-D
Yea, forgot about the Olympics. Even though I have been watching them on TIVO.
-
Not much news at the moment… our factory just got off vacation. AND YES, I have been very busy and occupied with the Olympics.

The most important thing for these pieces is that they match EXACTLY the colors in AA42/AA50/AAP&E40 of the combatants. if you are going to charge for plastic pieces, make them useful!
I’ve read that the pieces will match the combat dice - that is great, but the combat dice can closely approximate the colors of the pieces and it is ok (they are not on the actual board) - however, the FMG pieces will be intermixed with stock A&A so it is extremely important that they match.

STAY ON TOPIC.

hey FMG when you make the chinese set will make 1 natinolist sculp and 1 communist for the infantry?

The FMG dice match the A&A pieces in color, so if the FMG pieces match the FMG dice in color, one can therefore conclude that the FMG pieces will match the A&A pieces in color.

Brain,
Correct - except for Germany. Hence my post - I really feel this is the make or break key to fiscal success for FMG. (I have seen too many plastic-pieced games fail because they overlooked the #1 market, A&A fans)

Does anyone have the pre-order link handy? Been checking the older posts but I haven’t seen it yet.
-
Its not established yet, when it is you will the the second to know.

We’re all waiting for this, it does not exist yet. Keep checking here and at the FMG site.

I did not see tactical bombers on the list. Have I missed somthing?

Their last list included a dive bomber, so I am guessing that will be the tactical bomber you are looking for.
-
OK Thanks Brain. Thought it would be a waste without a dive bomber.

Hey Field Marshal Games, is there anything at all new that you can tell us? I’m dying for more info here. Please!! :-) I wanna get my hands on the Italians!

I would be in for a set for sure, I’m so tired of cobbling my pieces together from multiple games just so I can play one game.

I second that Danger Mouse. These sculpts are going to look fantastic on the board!

As soon as I have something worth showing I will post it!

Wait?
Who painted Viracocha’s pieces? I thought it was him?
If he is for hire how much does he charge for AA50 complete set?
