How do you intend to play test? Like in your area, or online? Because with the latter I’m sure the community would love to help you out.

Ahhh! FINAL production samples. Beautiful. Can’t wait to get my hands on them.
So, they are a few shades darker than the OOB Italian pieces. Well, I guess that pretty much cancels the idea of mixing these with OOB pieces. I would like to see some of these next to the FMG Italian combat dice just to see how close the color matching is. I like that the infantry and commander figures look to be the same color as the rest of the pieces. With OOB, often the infantry were a slightly different shade.
-
Hmm… not sure I’d put too much faith in what shade they appear to be on your computer screen, my wife’s a photographer and has went through great lengths to calibrate the system’s colors with the subject matter - but I still see slight differences. Just say’in (and problem solved if you paint 'em).
These figs are looking awesome… especially excited for the infantry.
-
I don’t know if this has been covered before, but does anybody know what kind of plastic the FMG minis are made out of? Is it the same kind of brittle stuff that you get with normal A&A? (except for the Infantry, 'cause I know they’re different anyways) Or is it the kind of bendy stuff that you get from places like Eagle Games? Many thanks.

i dont see a cruzer:( and I love how they turned out.
also they actually look like what there suppose to
Isn’t the cruiser the one under the carrier? It’s a bit different from the destroyer under it.
lols i must be blind THANKS. and
@finnman:I noticed that the Italians had four vehicles. A truck, two tanks, and a armoured car. Will Germany have two tanks. Say a panzer III and a tiger.
where have you been…lol. the germs have the TIGER I AND TIGER II(king tiger)
I stopped going on AA for a while.

Wow are the pre-orders going to ship in the next week. I am stoked. It is finally here. Outstanding.
-
The final product looks great - can’t wait to receive my order and see the pieces in person. :-D
On a side note, I do hope that in the event that this project is financially successful, FMG will consider producing extra unit types, including a Pre-War Battleship, Light or Escort Carrier, Heavy (4-Engined?) Bomber, Self-Propelled Artillery, and maybe even a third Tank/Tank Destroyer option for each nation. (Of course, coachofmany could already be making some of these himself).

Very true. The quality of your video chip/card can make a difference as well as the brightness, color and contrast setting on your computer.

So you are saying that the Italian units we see in the pic may not be as dark as they look there? Or may be darker? Well, I guess I will just have to wait and see when I get mine. No matter what shade of brown they are, I still want then very badly.

We are developing a relation ship with HistoricalBoardGaming.com. We will do the main sets, and they will do all the expansions and additional sets. This is very expensive and time consuming. We are glad to have the Help.

A) thats a wise choice.(and considering his progress so far)
B) knp…your not the only one
C)keep up the good work…
and
C)are the germs gona be shiped at the same time? when? sholud i buy them now? or what? (will it count as a pre order still?) -

Excellent, excellent. 8-) I have noticed that there has been a great deal of cooperation and coordination between Field Marshall Games and Historical Board Gaming (coachofmany); in the end, I believe that this would benefit both of your companies, and the AAM boardgaming (and the general WWII-boardgaming community) as a whole.
Right now, it appears that HBG is concentrating on land units, but if the demand is present, I hope coachofmany will consider producing at least a light or escort carrier for each major nation, together with a pre-war battleship. In relation to these two specific units types, is it possible that FMG will coordinate with HBG to split up the units in an appropriate manner? For example, perhaps FMG could concentrate on modern BBs and fleet CV’s, and HBG could produce a pre-war BB units and a CVE/CVL unit. In the case of the USSR, for example, FMG could produce a Soyuz-class BB and ‘Project 72’-class CV, while HBG could produce a Gangut-class BB and ‘Project 71’-class CVL. (As a side note, there are plenty of line drawings of the Soyuz-class, Project 72, and Project 71 online to serve as guides for sculpts).
[Also, I realize that I have not really distinguished between a CVE or CVL class of unit; it remains to be concluded whether such a class should be CVE, CVL, CVE/CVL, or separate CVE + CVL.]

i dono thats why im asking im not to shuer about much right now

You didn’t miss a pre-order for Germany. When the Italians go out I believe he will take orders for Germany.

This is good news indeed. If your sets will be designed to complement each other, one thing that will need to be worked out is making sure that the size and colour / shade of the units match each other well, so they’ll be fully compatible.
-
From the pics I have seen on HBG’s site and his Facebook page, the size looks to be compatible to OOB and FMG pieces, maybe even more so to FMG since I think they are just slightly larger than OOB. Coach hasn’t gotten any finished color examples yet and exact color matching is very difficult, but I’m pretty sure he will get them color compatible as well. Plus, since the HBG pieces are meant as a supplement to the FMG sets, it probably wouldn’t hurt if the color shading wasn’t 100% exact. Basically, FMG is making the major part of the armed forces and HBG is making more specialized units.
Dang it! Now I’m as anxious to see HBG’s pieces as I am to see FMG’s pieces. Plus the new combat dice! There is just too many things to want! I’m going crazy with wanting stuff now!
