This sounds incredibly interesting to me. I am all about flexibility in games as it keeps you interested in them. That is what I am attempting with my Global variant map and house rules with it. Except I am only doing WWII as it is what I have available, and due to limited funds and limited experience I am not willing to undertake something like this on my own… yet. But this sounds incredibly interesting. If there is anything I can do to help out let me know. Assuming this goes beyond an idea

yea P-51. The current fighter satisfies the carrier based plane requirement

Not to change the subject but I was # 70 yesterday when I took FMG pole to prepay, so its still growing. I also plan on getting a set of battle dice for AA50 maybe two. So keep spreading the word.

This is still up and running. I am just not taking money until I have some samples to show. Thank you for the interest!

IL, I was thinking maybe you could re-post this project in other parts of the forum. It would affect all the AA games & house rules etc. Not everyone that comes to this forum would come to variants. Might help get the word out just a thought.
-
Anything with “lets talk…” is basically that, so we have enough on our plate.

Wild Billy …
Or were you sugesting that IL make a notice in the other fora (AAR, AA50, AAG, AAE, AAP, AABulge & AAD-Day) to make sure the whole community is aware of this project? That is how I understood your question. Take care.

i think thats a good idea. i’ve been coming to this site for a couple years, but never went to the variants page until a couple days ago but am extemely excited for these game pieces

this should be Italian bomber
If you want to set up prepay, im ready as soon as you are.
Awwhh, that bomber is sweat as heck. Triple engine? Man, that’s exactly what Italy needs, a unique piece that stands out. +1 Karma

Hey guys! I’m excited to make this my first post ( long time lurker ). I’m in for a set of nice game pieces and probably some dice too. You guys make great stuff. You’ve got my $$$.
-
Do you guys think the Russian Bomber should be the PE-8, cause we already have that. I was thinking of a double engine like the IL-4 so that Russia would have both a heavy and medium bomber
-
It should definatly be a new type of unit, because the FMG pieces should do BOTH replace the standard set, AND use sculpts that are of a slightly different category, so many more types of units can be used for various house rules.
This means that FMG does not make another T-34/76 Soviet tank, but makes a KV-1 or SU-122, so players can have the flexibility in either swapping out the OOB pieces for FMG pieces, or adding the FMG pieces as new types of units or units that have special roles.
-
ya, so we should want the Russian Fighter to be the IL-2 and the Russian bomber to be the IL-4, right?
IL-2, ground attack fighter
IL-4, Medium Bomber
-
IL-2 is great. This can be a special divebomber type. That should be the fighter
we have a Yak from the original game and from the new AA42
we also have the pe-8 bomberso for the bomber choice use the IL-4

Take care.Yea that’s exactly what I was saying, make a post (maybe a sticky) in the other sections. I’m sure that there is a large % of gamers that don’t go to AA Variants, and have no idea about the new sculpts coming. WB

Sorry I butchered the quotes, don’t know how to do it properly.
-
yes please explain this. We obviously want to help get the word out, but the topic is set as sticky. Perhaps we could make some in Variant section
-
IL,
What I think Wild Bill is saying is, is it possible to have this thread (sticky) in all the different AA forum (Revised, Europe, Pacifc, AA50, etc, etc, etc, just in case people don’t visit variant page, I happen to see it when FMG first posted it a while ago so I was lucky to find it as I normally stick to the regular AA forum pages.
I know this topic does not belong in those pages but it could since it’s supposed to replace or add new pieces and would be applicable to all AA games?
I would expect the variant pages to be more for hardcore players but I would think that even the casual AA player would like new pieces.
Just my two cents.
-
we cant do that. Anything relating to new concepts and games must be regulated to only house and variant sections.
The only thing we can do is have the administrator post a new article on the new FMG pieces ONCE they have some pictures and also add the bit about “hey come and visit this section and help us get the rules on these new pieces”
We will support this product because it deserves it.

IL,
Understandable. Would you know if this is posted on other forums? I know Questioneer has the AA50 reprint petition at Larry Harris’ forum and AH forum. Maybe this is the way to go for FMG? Just a thought.

Right, if they want legal issues with Hasbro, then posting at AH forum is the way to go.
