Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

@thoes426:

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.

Thats really great to hear, cant wait to get my hands on the Italians and with luck the two new dice sets as well!
Thoes426 :evil:

That is wonderful news! So far I have on pre-order: E40, Combat Dice, and tower, now if I can just land FMG’s Italian Army, and the new dice I’ll be all caught up. Hopefully one day I can get an Ammo Box.

Hopefully one day I can get an Ammo Box.

Saving for mine, and hoping they will still have them when i get all my money together.

Love it.  After seeing the Italian AA pieces, I NEED to replace them with yours … after a quick spray to light green.

… their French pieces suck too (Russian French units?  They are rather socialist, but isn’t this going too far?).  I wish you’d make them next instead of the Germans.  And I need a King George V BB to relpace the British ship, too!

Really looking forward to these minis!  My paint brushes are rattling in their cases for a go at them! Russian units for Italians *scoff

And the God’s honest truth is that I’m more excited about FMG’s Italy set than I am about A&A Europe 40… Now that’s gotta be saying something!

I’m sorry if this has already been covered but I forgot, will the new FMG pieces be in the same color as A&A E40?

Yes (at least in the case of Germany).

They are matching their combat dice sets, which are very close to the AAE40/AA42/AA50/AAP40 pieces (the difference is in Russian and Italian combat dice are more distinctive … Italian is more brown, Russian is more red than the AA pieces).

That all works for me. Thanks

FMG ANY NEWS YET???

Good lord boy, stop!  When there is news, it will be posted here!

I tell you what - this thing is a REAL trial of one’s patience! I’m doing everything in my power to keep from typing: “FMG! Please give us some news!!” Seriously, I am checking this thread God knows how many times a day…  :oops:

UGH!  I know just what you mean Lozmoid.  I have just been itching to get at these Italian pieces and I’ve got money in my Paypal account just for this project and it’s burning a hole in my computer screen.  Now it’s like we know they are ready for production and it’s in the final phases, plus the new combat dice, and I can’t help but say “C’MON!  Where is our order page?  I want to order my Italians and combat dice!”

Well, I’m sure Jeremy is as anxious to get this going as we are.  Should be any day now.

Also looking forward to getting my copies of AAE 40.  I haven’t seen the pieces yet but I’ve heard talk of some dissappointment – ie:  blue Russian pieces for France and brown Russian pieces for Italy?  Well, I still want to check out the game.  Plus, before too long, we will be able to substitute the great FMG pieces.

Wow, that was the fastest Pre-Order sellout I’ve ever witnessed. It should be about six more months before the next batch is ready.  :evil:

Umm, knp - there have been several reviews posted on the front page of this site for AAE40. It shows the new French and Italian unit lineup.

Pre-order sell out for what??  Certainly not these pieces as they havn’t been put up yet afaik.

Yes, he’s talking about the FMG Italians… particularily wicked of him.  :wink:

Sorry guys, I had to do it.  :lol:

@cminke:
