I’m posting a link of some images of a great game for the community, worth taking a look.

FMG already has Italy Combat Dice. Those came out a couple of summers ago. I’m pretty sure the combat dice in question are the new France, ANZAC and Black Germany dice.
Ah, thanks knp7765. I have only ordered the Italy Combat Units and Italy Combat Dice so far, so if there’s no problems with these items then I expect should receive them soon, all accounted for and correct. That’s cool. For a moment I feared that the Italy Combat Dice were screwed up and needed to be replaced! And that would be a nightmare indeed.
-
Nah! No problems with the Italy dice. I have four sets myself. In fact, I e-mailed FMG when I got my UPS notice and asked about another order I had placed for the new combat dice. They wrote me back and said this shipment includes the Combat Units Italy and any NON-preorder items. So, if you ordered Italy combat dice with your combat units, you should be getting them too since they are no longer a preorder item.
Oh yeah radar231, I forgot about the Canadian dice. A little bit of self-centeredness on my part. I didn’t order any Canadian dice so I simply didn’t think about them. Oh yeah, lucky dude. My Italians aren’t due to arrive until Monday. Yeah, I know it’s not that far, but I’m just drooling in anticipation.
I can’t believe the dang factory screwed up the color of the dice after they have been making the other countries just fine for all this time. I mean, the combat dice, at least the major five nations, have been in production for over two years now. You would think getting it right would be fairly easy by now.
-
Yeah I hear you, knp7765. FMG should get shot of that factory - they’re rubbish.
I haven’t received an email from UPS though. Should I be getting one soon? I am in the UK so not sure if that would cause a delay, but probably.
As soon as I receive my FMG Italy Combat Units (& Dice) I will post a complete inventory/piece count on here.

International Customers:
If you choose and pay for UPS shipping, you would have already received an e-mail. If you choose AIR MAIL, the product is coming in the mail (Slow and no tracking).
-
Ah okay, thanks Jeremy - I remember now. I chose AIR MAIL back in October 2010 so I guess I will wait… and HOPE! lol

Good idea. Here is my inventory for 2 sets :
Land
Infantry = 60 ( 12 x ’ commanders ’ and 24 of each other
posesculpts )Tanks = 24 ( 12 each )
Autoblinda = 24
Arty = 24
Trucks = 12
Air
Fighter = 24
Bomber = 12
Tac bomber = 12
Transport = 12
Sea
CV = 12
BB = 12
CA = 12
DD = 24
SS = 20 ( ! )
Transport = 24
For a total of
312308 units. :oops:J. 8-)
-
So you got more than 150 units for each set! BONUS I think!

Just got my pieces in the mail and all I can say is… Wonderful job FMG! The level of detail in these pieces is amazing. I cannot thank you enough for making these. Speed up production on the other nations because I plan on buying every single set you produce!

I got my pieces today and they were well worth the wait, and I cannot wait to order some Germans when they are ready to go. :-)

Cool. That means each ziplock bag contains one stamping of the mold. A little view into how the factory works. Apparently as soon as they stamp the mold, they immediately bag them. So, six bags equals one set. I would imagine your missing subs either fell out between the mold and the bag ( they are small pieces) or maybe they even stuck in the mold itself and they didn’t check before moving on to the next set. If I’m not mistaken, they put the mold together and inject the plastic into it. When the plastic was injected and came to one of the sub cavities, it probably simply bypassed it because it was already full. Wonder how often that happens before someone catches it.

Hey guys, you want to hear something frustrating? I just checked my UPS tracking info and found out my package arrived here in Wichita at 12:35 AM today (11/24). Unfortunately, I’m not due to receive delivery until Monday because: Today is Thanksgiving Day, a national Holiday so they obviously don’t deliver today. I think UPS is one of those companies that give their employees the Friday after Thanksgiving off so no delivery tomorrow. UPS doesn’t deliver during the weekend except for the expensive stuff like “Next Day Air” so no goodies for me Saturday or Sunday. Therefore, I MUST wait until Monday. It’s just so frustrating knowing that it is right HERE in Wichita but I can’t get it. Oh well, at least I will get them for my next weekend and have two days off to play with them.
-
Man, that is frustrating. I hope you get them before Monday, by some miracle. I expect mine are somewhere over the atlantic but HQ have lost track of exactly where these units are. They are heading into unknown territory and few expect to make it back alive.
-
Thank you for your positive comments.
Now go; Spread the word!! Tell the world!
-
Gents, mie are in the great state of Illinois somewhere enroute to Enid, Oklahoma. Scheduled delivery is next Tusday. For the gentleman who’s are heading across the Atlantic i hope you get them AND THEY DON’T GET TIED UP IN YOUR NATIONS CUSTOMS DEPT.
Happy Thanksgiving

if i order the italians today when will i have them by?
-
So you got more than 150 units for each set! BONUS I think!
In a sense. I think what happened, after reading the # of units in your Germany combat set, is that we were supposed to get only 6 cargo/transport ships and 12 subs in a set. I got 12 cargo/transport ships and 10 subs per set. So, as the math goes : 6 more ships minus 2 subs = 4 extra units for a total of 154 instead of 150. But I am not complaining, not at all. :wink:

I think it’s cool that you got more transport ships. I always thought we needed more of those anyway because we use them like crazy for most countries with the exceptions of Russia and France.
