Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

Any news about the shipment of Italian pre-order units?
-
Hey Mr.Black the clutter was my concern on these but I figured since FMG was already doing these pieces it might be just another upgrade. How cool would that pacific look with marines holding up the flag or the japanes raising there arms in salute. Thanks for your interest.
-
ya and how long will the ground/sea shipment take?
-
I will post as soon as I have news. Right now (I posted this a few pages ago) I am waiting on the FINAL samples.
I expect the release to be in Feb.
Thanks
-
ok your doing good, the puck is in there end keep it there.
-
hey FMG i have a question about the russians. are you going to to them like the germans and have one set your colors and one set closer to OOB?
-
i dont think there a need for that.

No, the Russians will match COMBAT DICE colors

If that’s the case, I think they will look more like the burgandy colored Russians from early versions of A&A Europe. That’s fine with me now. After seeing the Italian and German pieces and marveling at such incredible detail, I will be keeping these separate from my OOB pieces so I no longer care if the colors match or not. Plus, maybe lighter colored Russians will show up better when I drop them on my brown carpet. I have a heck of a time spotting my current Russian pieces. Actually, my Italian pieces are worse because they are almost exactly the same color as the carpet.
When do we get to see some USA sculpts? Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.
-
for get american there the the door step when are we gona get to see the japs(not order, but time frame)

These next few weeks will seem as if they are going in slow motion because I am that excited to finally have these units in my possession. About what, three weeks?
Also, will Germany be done in Gray first? Thanks

Yes, Germany will be Gray first. And I believe Jeremy confirmed that the Black version will only be available after the release of all other nations.
I’m fine with Dice russian red, but does that mean that the US units will match the super saturated hints of blue Kelly/Forest Green? I assume so, but that’s a much bolder color and far more visibly different from OOB units than the other nations.

You know, as far as the Combat Dice goes, I always thought that the USA dice color looked more like the US Marine pieces from the original A&A Pacific game.

I realize that this is Jeremy’s project, not ours, and he has every right to do whatever colors he wishes…
But I’ve never liked the idea of matching the pieces to the FMG dice. Changing the color of the Italians was fine, and possibly ANZAC, but leave the rest as they are.

The difference here is we have a colour STANDARD. WOTC, changes the colour with every release…

Jeremy,
They have used the same colors since 2004. That is 7 years of consistency, and the vast majority of the current product in the market uses the same base colors.
All of the below use the same colors for each power. The inconsistency came about from 1999-2003, as WotC/AH was moving away from the 1984 edition colors and it took a while to standardize. Since then, the colors have remained consistent.
Axis & Allies 1942
Axis & Allies Europe 1940
Axis & Allies Pacific 1940
Axis & Allies Anniversary
Axis & Allies Battle of the Bulge
Axis & Allies GuadalcanalI am a piece junkie, and I admit it - I have probably 10,000 Axis & Allies pieces in total. I have every color version that has come out, including lime green UK pieces. However, I realise that the colors have been stable, and will be stable, since 2004.
-
Then why do my Germany pieces not match between Europe 1940 and AA50? The colour is off.
Our project here is not to COPY, but to replace and SURPASS
-
The only color change since 2004 has been shading the Germans from a grayish black to a true black.
Bulge/1942/1940 editions all have Germany in true black.

Ah, good – a fellow A&A sculpt addict. Excellent.
