Does anyone happen to have any red xeno game pieces that they would like to sell?
Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

Look, your fundamental argument against the Yamato was that it was the other four Japanese BB classes that “did the dirty work…” yet you want to stick the US with a BB class that didn’t! Check your facts on the old BB’s: they didn’t get within a thousand miles of Guadalcanal until the battle was long over, and even in the late war were used almost exclusively as floating fire-support for amphibious landings, never as decisive instruments of sea control, whereas Adm. Willis Lee’s 2 new BB’s ended up being the final straw that caused the IJN to give up on Guadalcanal when his last-ditch “ride to the rescue” resulted in the loss of the 2nd Kongo class BB in 2 days. The only exception to the rule that the US old-BB’s were on the virtual sidelines was Surigao Strait, and that’s because the Japaneses managed to break into what had essentially become a rear echelon area as a result of Halsey’s recklessness.
Its not only that, its because the other Japanese BB classes all look alike and the Yamato is a one off ship.
why in hell would you represent 2 ships that look nothing like the other 15+
You got like 92% that look like Kongo and 8% that look like yamato. You got like 90% of the types of Japanese BB that fought in most of the battles vs. 2 ships that fought in the end of the war is less than satisfactory missions.
Its clear that the Yamato is not a Pagoda style ship, yet this is the standard looking Japanese battleship.

Thats fine so do I. I also reject using late war ships exclusively as you seem to prefer. I prefer using ships that were used most often, where made the most in terms of quantity, where used in most battles during most of the war, and have a look that is common to the basic profile of what most units where used in the war.
You want to restrict to only the biggest late war units. The actual choices must follow the pattern of what was typical. In Iowa class only Missouri and Iowa were used with frequency.
Of the South Dakota class, id say three of these four ships were used frequently. The Washington class had two ships
So of the fast battleships: 7 of these saw decent action.
If you look at the other 10 battleships: they all had war long careers. Based on the history i now feel the West Virginia should be the new selection, not the Pennsylvania. The distinctive feature in all these battleships is the tower on top of the superstructure. It is somewhat similar to the Royal Oak ( UK OOB BB sculpt)
USS Nevada
USS Pennsylvania
USS New Mexico
USS Mississippi
USS Idaho
USS Tennessee
USS California
USS Colorado
USS Maryland
USS West Virginia -
none of my choices need look much like oob.
hahaha!
OOB in bold:
US:
Tank 1: M36 (Pershing as second choice) both late war M36 saw action in Sept 1944. How nice to have these in global 1940,4 years early. Pershing was like the last month of the war. ridiculous
Tank 2: SHERMAN (LATE WAR!)
Transport: Liberty Ship
SS: GATO CLASS
DD: SUMNER CLASS (Fletcher as second choice)
CA: BALTIMORE CLASS (Wichita as second choice, then Cleveland, then Brooklyn)
CV: ESSEX CLASS (Lexington as second choice) Essex saw action in late 1943…again late war.
BB: IOWA CLASS (South Dakota as second choice, then North Carolina) These are all early 1943 and 1944 models. again you picked a late war. It does not look right to play 1939-42 with ships not even made till 1943.
Bomber: B-29 (B-24 as second choice)–this is late war
Tac: TBM/TBF AVENGER
Truck:GMC 6x6
Air Trans: C-47 DAKOTA
Artillery: 155 MM LONG TOM
Infantry 1: STANDARD W/ M1
Infantry 2: AIRBORNE W/ M3 (folding-stock M1 carbine as second choice; Thompson was rather heavy/ unwieldy for airborne troops…)
IN the case of the German FMG pieces these were used in 1940-42, but your choices are not consistent with this value. Your choices are invariably 1943 and 1944-45 units. If FMG made me-262, king tigers, etc, then perhaps it might be more consistent to make a list as you propose.

The US old-BB’s had long war-time careers all right… in secondary and rear-echelon missions. The new BB’s, like Washington, North Carolina and South Dakota were all right in the thick of things as soon as they were finished, and all were taking front-line hits as early as Guadalcanal. Check your Guadalcanal facts. New BB’s operated with the main “Blue Water” battle-fleets meant to duke it out with the Japanese Combined Fleet ASAP (it alternated between being called 3rd/5th, depending on whether it was Halsey’s or Spruance’s turn to command) whereas the old-BB’s were grouped with the transports, CVE’s & DE’s of the 7th Fleet in what was supposed to be a supporting role in MacArthur’s “Brown Water Navy”… and that was in the “Late War” era, late 1944, actually. For the entire first half of the war the former denizons of “Battleship Row” were either being rebuilt/ modernized or were cooling their heals in San Diego…
The new-BB’s were the US “front line” battleships, not the old-BB’s from the point of Pearl Harbor to the signing of the armistace (on the Missori, Halsey’s flag ship, no less!) And there were 10 of them built (to only 10 Japanese old BB’s: double check your figures) Oh, and the Yamato wasn’t a 1-off: it was to be the first of 4. That it ended up being only the first of 2 was an accident of history that could have gone the other way. If the Japanese hadn’t changed their building priorities after Midway, and had incurred the same losses as they did in Guadalcanal and elsewhere, there would have been more Yamato’s in their fleet than any other single BB class by the time of the Leyte Gulf conflict, and their 7 remaining old BB’s would have accounted for much less of their BB total tonnage than their four Yamato’s.
FMG should do a proper Yamato and we can use the oob Japanese BB’s as the old BB’s. They look like pagoda-masts to me anyway. Hopefully then, Coach will do some proper “Pagoda’s” for us and we’ll have the best of both worlds!
-
M35 (Pershing as second choice) both late war M36 saw action in Sept 1944. How nice to have these in global 1940,4 years early.
Yes, because the US tanks ENTERED the war late. And so would tanks likely in A&A, since it will take time for the US to build them! THIS IS MY POINT!
Pershing was like the last month of the war. ridiculous
Yes, but this easily could have been different if the US had chosen different building priorities! THIS IS MY POINT! In any case, I’ve conceded that the Pershing would be a good choice as a tech unit for a “heavy tanks” tech that Germany could be given free as a “National Advantage” but which the others would have to research according to their priorities…
Transport: Liberty Ship
SS: GATO CLASS
DD: SUMNER CLASS (Fletcher as second choice)
CA: BALTIMORE CLASS (Wichita as second choice, then Cleveland, then Brooklyn)
You critique my choices as oob when yours are too! …and Baltimore is not, I repeat NOT, oob, and doesn’t even look much like the oob Portland. Neither is the Sumner oob, and my Sumner has a gun arrangement more different from oob than your Gearing.
Essex saw action in late 1943…again late war.
Yes, the Essex entered late in the war… because the US was practically out of carriers between Guadalcanal and the entry of the Essexes and had to reorganize their battle fleet around them in order to wage the second half of the war! Again, as I said earlier, the early war US and Japanese fleets had nearly annihilated each other by 1943 and the US then went on to win the war largely with the new ships it had built… much as is likely to happen in any scenerio of A&A where the US wins! In A&A, the drama comes from the Axis trying to win the war before the allies can get in gear and build up, and the allies try to hold them up until they can get their new stuff into the field. I want FMG to offer us some of that exciting new stuff, not the obsolete old stuff that was barely adequate. His excellent pieces should be of excellent ships, planes and tanks, not of mediocre ones!
Do the new, FMG! DO THE NEW!
-
Bomber: B-29 (B-24 as second choice)–this is late war
Yes, the B-29 was also late-war, but it was THE BOMBER that bombed the heck out of Japan… because it was the only plane that could! That’s why they were nearly all sent to the Pacific rather than to Europe: it was the only bomber with the necessary range to hit Japan from the Marianas. And please note that it looks pretty different from the oob B-17!
I do concede that it might also be a good “heavy bombers” or “long-range bombers” tech piece… which is why I offer the B-24 as a 2nd choice. But I do hope SOMEONE does it!
-
i still rather see variety, and I will continue to push for it. These pieces would not be worth buying for someone like me, if half the pieces looked like the pieces that came with the game. So please FMG try to stay away from duplicating pieces as possible. also i would like to add that i agree with IL early war is important Especially for those of us that want to play 1939 scenarios, and weapons that were used the most should be represented, Although i would like seeing a Pershing i would rather it replace the Sherman.
-
I find it funny that certain people are saying that FMG should make “early war” pieces because many of our games start in 1940. However, the majority of people ALSO want the P-51 Mustang for the US fighter piece and it didn’t come out until 1944. So all the US equipment should be the older, less reliable stuff EXCEPT for the fighter, which was not only “late war” but also the best fighter in the war. Nonsense.
I agree with you Dr Larsen. FMG pieces should be all of the best equipment that each nation had to offer, like Iowa and Yamato BBs, and not the older, less reliable models. Let coachofmany include some of those models in his supplement sets. OR, once all nations are finished, perhaps FMG could come out with new, early war sets. For these first sets though, use the best models that were actually used in numbers during the war. In other words, for example, the German fighter should be the Me109 or Fw190 and NOT the Me262. Sure, the Me262 was probably the best fighter since it was a jet, but there were many more Me109s and Fw190s.

Valid points. I hope FMG is listening.

The OOB piece for the japanese CV look like the first picture, though they are supposed to look like the second picture. Also, both carriers look like classic UK or US carriers.
I’m holding the oob piece in my hand and looking at both pictures in you links and I simply can’t imagine that you say you’re seeing what you’re seeing. oob clearly looks like the second picture, not the first. What is more, the first picture looks much more like the “typical Japanese carrier”, including smallish superstructure and pylons, but is a balanced and finished-looking ship. I think that the Shokaku would be a good choice for FMG, because it does have that “typically Japanese” look, (as much as it can be said to exist), whereas Kaga and Akagi look like unfinished monstrousities, and the Hiryu/Soryu/Unryu series is just simply small and unimpressive. What’s more, the Shokaku class represents, short of Taiho, which I admit was a bit of a “black swan,” the best of Japanese technology… and was available at the war’s beginning, so it doesn’t fall into the “early vs. late” controversy at all.
-
Note also that the Taiho and Shinano do look much alike; IL, are you sure you’re not confusing the Shokaku with the Taiho? Shokaku looks nothing like the Shinano and nothing like oob!
If we insist that FMG shouldn’t do oob, I’d say the logical choice for US BB is still a new BB: Washington and South Dakota were battle-winners at Guadalcanal, but no old BB’s were brought into action until late in the war. Note that: new-BB’s were decisive early war battle-winners, but old-BB’s only had a brief moment to shine 2 years later. Ironic, perhaps, but true!
Oh, and take another look at the oob “Yamato” mast… it’s not just Kongo-high, it’s Fuso-high! Two quick cuts of an exacto to remove the overhang on the stern and you have an old-style pagoda-BB.

First P-51 Mustang aerial victory was in Aug. 1942 by an American flying for the RCAF. The first U.S. unit to fly the Mustang was the 154th observation squadron in Morocco in April,May 1943.
-
FMG stick with the iconic units that will sell best. The early war pieces can always be made later or supplemented by coachofmany. Do not be swayed to make exclusively early war models or you will not sell as many as you would like.

Right, but how then did four squadrons fly in Aug 1942?
http://www.acepilots.com/planes/p51_mustang.html
Aug. '42 - Dieppe Raid
The “reconnaissance in force” on August 19 gained little for the Allies, except the expensive and bloody lesson in how tough the German defenses were, both on the ground and in the air. The raid, Operation Jubilee, introduced the Typhoon and the Spitfire Mk. IX, and marked the first Mustang aerial victory. Four Mustang squadrons, No. 26, 239, 400, and 414, provided tactical recon for the ground troops.
If we followed what Larson wants the standard German fighter should be the Horton flying wing or He-162, and the standard German tank should be the Maus. Yea good move. Just inflate the units like Pershing tank of which a whole 20 or so saw service in the last month of the war. Lets just ignore all the units that fought in 1939-1943 and keep making games based on 1940 using units that didn’t exist till 1944 or 1945 like the Pershing tank. because we must ignore old units with distinguished service records and hype stupid drawing board uber late war units that “could have seen action”
How bout instead we get a hold of our senses and actually have pieces that look like the units typically found fighting during the war and stop this nonsense? The Pershing was not even used in pacific and not more than 20 used like a month before VE- day. Yea great iconic choice for a tank. :roll:
and not the older, less reliable models
Instead of saying this you might make the point by saying:
we want late war experimental models that could have been used, and not the types of units that actually fought most of the battles and typify the look of American units during 1939-1945. Instead lets just deal with drawing board units and post 1943 units exclusively. They still fight with the same values so this ‘reliable’ comment has no water. Looking for realitic units that would be fighting in 1940, 41 or 42, not units that fought just in pacific in 45 or 44-45 ships.
It looks really stupid having a Pershing tank in 1940, just because they made 50 of them and they were stronger.
-
Do not be swayed to make exclusively early war models or you will not sell as many as you would like.
Nobody said this. What was actually said was to make the most common unit that fought most of the time and avoid models that look like OOB. The other side if you read their posts just wants late war units which is extreme point of view. My point of view is most flexible, as some units may be early, mid, or late war.
Because we are favoring the most common and unique look of the unit that saw the most actions in the war, this can be from any part of the war.
P-51 midwar
JU-87 early war
Tiger tank late war
Lexington early war
Liberty ship midwar
Kongo early war -
All this late war/early war model griping about the p51 seems to ignore something that should be obvious… If one or the other (fmg or oob) is early or late war, it doesn’t matter if a P51 D is in with FMG early war naval units…
'Cause, duh, we already have an early war fighter! The freaking P38 was in service in mid '41 and the only plane in production throughout the entirety of the war.
That said, all this early war/late war mumbo jumbo was moot with the German units. At this point we don’t have an FW190 for late war, or a Scharnhorst for BB, etc etc etc. Doubles are already in play.
I guess I’m the only one that’s WAY more concerned about the color of the US units. The combat dice green is… well… not MY favorite. But I guess I’m alone.
-
I guess I’m the only one that’s WAY more concerned about the color of the US units. The combat dice green is… well… not MY favorite. But I guess I’m alone.
I’m hoping that also FMG also produces a OOB green along with combat dice like they announced that they will do with the gray and OOB black German versions.
I for one would buy both.
-
I really want FMG to match OOB colors.
Otherwise, these might as well be xeno games pieces - I’ve never had a problem with the quality of the pieces, but the variety. I.e., give us more stuff!
-
Note also that the Taiho and Shinano do look much alike; IL, are you sure you’re not confusing the Shokaku with the Taiho? Shokaku looks nothing like the Shinano and nothing like oob!
At the scale of these ships having any japanese carrier that looks like a British carrier is not good enough. It must have the classic small superstructure and pylons under the front and rear flight deck. If you had to draw a typical japanese carrier it might be the Akagi or Shoho. IDK as long as the Carrier has that classic Japanese “look” to it, easily identifiable….
If we insist that FMG shouldn’t do oob, I’d say the logical choice for US BB is still a new BB: Washington and South Dakota were battle-winners at Guadalcanal, but no old BB’s were brought into action until late in the war. Note that: new-BB’s were decisive early war battle-winners, but old-BB’s only had a brief moment to shine 2 years later. Ironic, perhaps, but true!
It should avoid OOB but also avoid ships looking like OOB. Most of the fast battleships looks the same, All the standard ships look the same. This is why we make the standard BB’s since OOB covered the Missouri . American made only two types of battleships and since the OOB is decent, we should turn to make the other design.
Oh, and take another look at the oob “Yamato” mast… it’s not just Kongo-high, it’s Fuso-high! Two quick cuts of an exacto to remove the overhang on the stern and you have an old-style pagoda-BB
The OOB piece is garbage. Its nothing like a Kongo class ship. The shape of the hull alone for yamato is totally unlike any other. Most of the Japanese BB’s should look similar to Royal Oak, except with a decent Pagoda style superstructure. Let the OOB cover Yamato, but make the classic ship that represents most of the typical FUSO- Nagato- Kongo- Kirishima looking ships.

Kongo early warDon’t pick on my quotes IL, I’m not trying to start anything with you. I do not advocate the Pershing, or any other dumb unit choices, read my posts. I was trying to let FMG know that some people are not upset with his unit choices. That’s all.
I really want FMG to match OOB colors.
Otherwise, these might as well be xeno games pieces - I’ve never had a problem with the quality of the pieces, but the variety. I.e., give us more stuff!
Agreed. I’m waiting for OOB colors or something close to it. I hope the Germany black units come out soon because I’m not that interested in buying the Gray units.
-
Isn’t the P38 an early war fighter for the United States? So Fmg would be filling in the gap between early and late if they were to produce Mustangs. So I still push for P51 Mustang. i find it kind of funny how FMG hasn’t replied about the Americans in a while, i wonder if its already to late to make these changes =/
