Is it bigger than the gun in your avatar?
Yup. You won’t find a 150mm mounted on a MBT.

What’s a MBT?

I wonder if FMG was thinking 1.5"… wouldn’t that be (roughly) 37mm?
Now that would be a candidate for AA.

Hi,
Im new to this forum, I just played my first game of A&A and just got hooked :roll:
This is a big thread and i don’t know if somebody asked this question, but where is the Mechanized Infantry?
I know the cost would be much larger, just asking :-)
-

Hasn’t been made yet. We are still waiting for that and the Submarine.
-
Ahhh, that explains why I see no pics
-
Did the Italians have Mechanised Infantry during WWII?
-
I think motorized is as far as they got…
-
Well if that’s true, then it’s an interesting situation for Italy because the Mech Inf playing piece is generic for all major powers in the game; not a technological improvement like it was in AA50. So - if that’s the case, then the upcoming AA Europe 40 will see the Italians as already having acquired that technology, won’t it? :lol:
I suppose that the Infantry piece in the A&A game series is given as having a motorised compliment included within it… So I guess they will never make a dedicated Motorised Infantry piece (and that’s fair enough I think, due to the scale of the theatre/global games).
Will FMG therefore provide this gap in the market and produce Motorised Infantry? :-)

Although I think that the mech inf piece is supposed to also represent motorized inf and any other type of inf not riding the “old black cadillacs” into combat (walking), if memory serves FMG’s sets will include trucks…

hello im new here and i just wanted to ask if the Vought F4U Corsair was recommended for fighters. they were quite important in the pacific theater during the war. Here is a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vought_F4U_Corsair#United_States_Navy_and_Marine_Corps

@ cminke:
Early models of both the Panzer III (Ausf. A/B/C/D) and Panzer IV (Ausf. A/B/C) were in service in 1939. The Panzer III ceased production in 1943 (last models were Ausf. M/N), while the Panzer IV remained in production until 1945 (simplified Ausf. J only - Ausf. H ceased production in 1944).
I would personally also like to see a Panzer IV as one of the two FMG models for Germany, although I would prefer to see a mid-war Ausf. F2/G/H model over the heavily simplified/cut down Ausf. J.
The second German tank model should indeed be a Tiger, Ausf. E, IMHO. I would agree to pass over another Panther model here. I don’t think that all OOB models should be replaced, but many of them should be replaced where reasonably feasible. Germany had many WWII tank designs which were both widely used and iconic/recognizable - I therefore believe that there are many reasonable alternative choices for FMG than the Panzer V/Panther.
Perhaps I’m getting off-topic though - I should probably post this in the FMG German pieces discussion…
-
To my knowledge, the German Tank WOTC used in D-Day was the Panther, just like all the other recent games. I’ve never seen a WOTC Tiger.
Now, I wonder whether FMG will make the German Tank No 2 mold/model into a Self Propelled Gun, Assault Gun or some kind of mobile Artillery… I only mention this because the Italian Tank No 2 was the Semovente (a SPG; not a Tank)… ergo Artillery. To continue this trend would be more in keeping with Italy’s units.
If we want two Tanks for Germany (say, a Panzer IV medium and a Tiger I heavy) then I believe Italy should also get the heavy Tank model (the P-40).
FMG - do you see what is happening here?
-
Hey Lozmoid,
I didn’t know the Italians even HAD a heavy tank. In fact, I thought that was the reason FMG went with the Semovente because the Italians didn’t have a great variety of tanks like the Germans and British did. There was the M13/40 which was more of a medium tank, the M11/39 which was lighter, then L3/35 and L6/40 which were really light.You mentioned a P-40 as an Italian heavy tank model. You wouldn’t happen to have any pics of that, would you?
-
Panzer II is a must, in my opinion
-
@ Lozmoid - Although I see the logic in what you are suggesting, I don’t think that FMG would be willing to replace one of its tank sculpts at this late stage, due to cost and delay issues. I would personally be satisfied with the existing choices in light of those issues.
@ knp7765 - Here’s a picture of the Carro Armato P40 for you:
Here’s a blog with a bit more info for those not familiar with the tank:

New Sculpt complete! ITALIAN TRUCK
-
This looks a bit too commercial… like a modern mail truck?
So what happened to a half track? Or an Opel ( which is German but has a more classic 1940’s look)
-
Looks nice…seems like the Fiat 626 truck…
