Field Marshal Games - AMMO BOX 1940 Edition

[DrLarsen]

Now let me make sure that I’m seeing this correctly in your pictures… In the standard new version of the box does one of the generic trays have the extra compartment for the dice (presumedly for the Chinese dice) and the other one lack that extra compartment?

The dice compartment is on the left hand side in the bottom tray

[FieldMarshalGames]

It is just turned around.  It has the stencil on both sides.  But the Black trays do have Dice holders in this edition.

[DrLarsen]

So… are the black trays exactly the same size as the other ones? (Just painted differently?)

Correct

Do the dice trays come with the box, and how much would it cost to make it so I could lock the box.

fmg bring up a previos question you said that they have the country’s name on both sides, if i wanted the country’s leaders(hitler)on one side. would that be the same +20$ each? im just thinking about when you said:
@FieldMarshalGames:

No additional cost at all!  It is the same amount of work and materials for my shop guy.

@DrLarsen:

That’s not a bad markup for customization… How much do you think it would be if you just had all the trays done in the (is it black, or charcoal grey?)… whichever the generic color is… with the “Field Marshal Games” printed on them instead of the country-specific colors/ stencils?

+$20 for each and every stencil that has to be made beyond the FMG stencil.  So, $20 for each “leaders name” no matter how many times you have it put on the boxes.  If you have the FMG stencil on one side and “Hitler” on the other of one box that is +$20.  Put “Hitler” on both sides, still $20.  Put it on all boxes 8 times on each box, still $20.  Add ANOTHER name, add $20… and so on.

Awesome game crate FMG! I was going to try and make one… but this one looks better then the one I could patch together…  :lol:

[moralecheck]

I thought Jeremy had said these were discontinued.  Glad to hear they survived.

They were, now they’re being re-released, new and improved.  :D

[Viracocha]

Wow… these crates are simply awesome - I had in my head to make one myself, but can’t find the time and after seeing these, not sure I can be bothered to create a lesser quality.

[DrLarsen]

And the tray in the new box are exactly the same as those on the old box so they can be switched back and forth?

That is correct

[DrLarsen]

Awesome!  Now it looks as though my ultimate dream super-A&A variant is finally taking shape, components-wise!  I pulled out some of my panzerschiffe mini’s and have found that HBG’s new board is big enough to work with 1/2400 warships and that even the biggest of them fit into the compartments in your ammo box (diagonally, anyway).  Once you’ve released all the FMG piece sets, I’ll order one of the new boxes with all generic trays… then I’ll switch the 8 nation-specific trays from the old box into the new.  The ten trays of the new box should fit the entire FMG piece line-up, and the 30 compartments in the trays of the old one will accomodate 18 different minor/ neutral power armies (ala HBG) + 6 sets of “super-armor” (ala TT) + 6 sets of “super-ships” (ala Panzerschiffe)!  Perfect!

Now I just have to patiently wait for you to release all these sets… (Patience is always the hard part…)

My 1940 Ammo Box arrived.  It is awesome.  So well made and huge.  I love it.  I can’t wait for the ANZAC and french die to come so I complete it.  I’ve decided it will be used for the FMG pieces only as they arrive.  Can’t wait to start filling it with Italy and Germany and so on.  Nice job FMG.

Thank you, glad it arrived ok.

I just have one answer.

The boards, the units, the dice trays and the boxes come with the box right?

No.  The ammo box itself, the boxes FOR the units and the dice trays come with it.  Pretty clear in the product description on the website i think.
