I will have a sub pic this week. Just waiting on update (I have been told it is finished)
Once I have production samples I will have some AWESOME pictures to show.
Thought I would add,the Italian Fiat BR20 was used by Japan(85 planes) during the early
war period.Also used by several other countries.
What model is the Italian submarine? I know of two from my A&A Miniatures War At Sea collection:
Ambra
Leonardo da Vinci
Is it one of these two or another model I haven’t seen yet?

FMG, can you confirm whether the Fiat BR20 will also be included in the Japan set, designated as the Japanese ‘Betty’ bomber? Or, will this unit be desiganted as the Japanese Mitsubishi G4M bomber?
Do you have any firm plans for these units for Japan yet? Thank you.
Hey Lozmoid,
While the Fiat BR20 may have been used by the Japanese, I am pretty sure it will NOT be included in the Japanese lineup. In making these sets, FMG wants each piece to be unique to that country. So, I am sure the Japanese Transport Plane/Medium Bomber will be a model that was uniquely Japanese, both in production and use.
Also, the Mitsubishi G4M bomber IS the “Betty”. “Betty” was the Allied classification for this bomber and G4M was the Japanese classification. Like the Mitsubishi A6M fighter was referred to as “Zero” or “Zeke” by the Allies.
knp7765, many thanks to you for clearing this up! :-)
It’s just that I was under the impression that the Fiat BR20 sculpt had already been described by some viewers as being the Japanese G4M. Sorry about the confusion. I’m sure FMG will clarify all this in time.
It wasn’t the Fiat BR20 sculpt, it was the one right before it which was just labeled “Italian Heavy Bomber”. That’s the one that looks like the G4M Betty. I believe it’s the last sculpt on the first page of the FMG Games Pieces Project board.
what color are the Germans?
Same as OOB. Latter they make a Grey set after more sales.
sigh
I’ll still pre-order, but I’ll wait for the gray set.

They’re making a gray set in conjunction with the Black. No worries.
screems like little girl, faints then regains compser WOW SO EXCITED. WHEN CAN WE PRE ORDER?
WooHoo, great news, can’t wait. It sounds like within the next few weeks we’ll be able to pre-order Italy. I can’t wait!
It also sounds like the new dice additions will be close behind.
Hey Stickman,
Have you heard news on the ANZAC and French dice? I have been wondering about those as well but haven’t seen or heard anything.

Hi there knp7765,
Here is the latest news regarding the new additions to the Combat Dice;
“P.S. You’ll love the combat dice there simply amazing. Anzac and France are expected to arrive shortly so keep watch, the’ll likely sell out quite fast like Italy and China did.”
I just read up on the Combat Dice thread. I saw pics for both countries and they look amazing. Can’t wait to get them. I will keep checking there for that link Jeremy mentioned for upgrading my current dice sets.
Con Call with Factory last night. Production samples of Italy will be finished today and shipped to me for inspection and approval! We are getting close!
Final COMBAT DICE samples will also be included in this package.
