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.

They are also used so your dice don’t roll all over the table and bounce pieces of the game around. Or so they don’t roll onto the floor and cat takes them around the house.
Many uses.

@Imperious:
It is a contraption that makes the dice roll so cheaters can ‘flop the dice’
In this way the dice roll and cannot be controlled as to where they land.
It is possible to control what you roll on dice and that has been proven many times.
Where can I find this proof? I find this subject most interesting.

To see how this Tower works, go to my website. http://www.thediceturret.com/instructions. It shows you how it’s put together and how the dice roll down the Tower. You can throw more than a dozen normal sized dice down this thing. More if you use smaller dice.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-yUsEIPIbY&feature=relatedThanks IL, I never really thought about it, but I guess a dice tower is a good buy.

Thanks for the video. This helps me to understand how the dice tower works. Pretty much what I thought.

No problem. I hope that was a good “Pretty much what I thought.”

I got the opportunity to use a few of these this past weekend at the Niagara Board Gaming Weekend.
All I have to say about them is … Very nice! I was pleasantly surprised.
-
I’m glad to hear that you liked them. They are very handy. We’ve used DiceTowers before i started making these but they were always way to expensive for they do. These are a great alternative.

Hello all!
Just for FUN I have created an FMG YOuTube channel! I will create 2 min video’s for all FMG products and post updates here.
Come check it out and enjoy our video on CUSTOM DICE TOWERS and the COMBAT TURRET
-
perhaps one with all the new Italian pieces and the new dice would be nice?
-
Also, it would have been nice to see the tower in use, seeing the dice roll out would really add to the product. Thank you FMG.
-
I just ordered 2. I can’t wait! :-D
UPDATE: 2 Got 'em. Very cool!
-
If you want to see the TURRET in use, check out my site. I have an instruction video and at the end, I send down about a dozen or so dice.
Thanks,

I may be wrong but I think this thread is about the COMBAT TURRET and discussion about the Product? …Not how to make your own.
…Just saying…
