Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

@GoSanchez6:

Just curious FMG have you decided on what types of units you will use for USA and UK and if so more detail would be greatly appreciated. I wil be honest I look forward to these pieces more than I did any of Larry’s battle games(d-day,etc.) Thanks for the info and keeping us in the loop.

Dave

Agreed.  Also my previous angry-about-delay post aside, I would be willing to do a pre-order for Germany in order to speed the process up for USA units if cash flow is a problem.

@FieldMarshalGames:

If there is any thing good to come of this, The Germans should be ready at about the same time as the Italians.

If this is the case, how are you going to handle orders for the German units?  You said before that you wouldn’t take orders for Germany until the Italians were shipping but if they are going to be done at the same time……

I would assume if they’re ready at about the same time there simply won’t be a PRE order for Germany.  Just a “Hey, they’re in stock, here’s the order button”.

Correct.  Once I have confirmation that the Germans are in actual production, with no defects…  I will post a link to add Germany to your order on this form.  With no shipping charge.

Thanks

Will the new combat dice be complete at the same time?

@dadler12:

No, they will be done before.  They are in production right now and scheduled for delivery by the end of the month!  I decided to send them ahead of the Units due to the additional delay.

There will be a NEW COMBAT DICE release, called COMBAT DICE 1940 Edition that will include France and ANZAC, and be packaged in a new AMMO POUCH dice bag.  Very cool!

I will take it from your response you have already chosen which type of units for the USA you are using. Just wondering if you could let us know what you went with. Thanks for the info.

So I’m going to get my France and ANZAC combat dice and not have to wait for the Italian units?  VERY COOL!!  I’ve been as anxious to get them as I have the Italian units.  This will help sooth the pain of waiting for Italy.  THANK YOU!

Hey Jeremy, if the German mould is going into production, I assume that means the small problems you had with some units are fixed?  In the pics of the production samples, some pieces were put in the background and you said it was because they needed some changes.
You wanted the King Tiger to be bigger.
The Stuka needed landing gear struts.
It looked like you had the bomber and artillery pieces in the background but I don’t remember hearing what was considered “wrong” with them.

bomer probly dident SIZEup right and the artil probly bad a defect

Seconded!

I will share as soon as I have some completed sculpts.

Thanks

THANK YOU FMG

Here is the e-mail I just sent to all pre-order customers:

First I would like to say THANK YOU for your pre-order and support of this project.

I wish I was sending you this message to tell you the product is ready, but that is not the case.  We expected a March 8th release based on information we were given by the factory.  We have now been informed that there was a defect in the mould and it will have to be sent back to the foundry for repair.  This was a disheartening development as we were so VERY close!

We have now been informed that Production will begin in 60 days.  The only good news in regards to this delay, is that it seems the Germany COMBAT UNITS will also be ready around the same time.  If this is the case, I will contact so you can choose to get this product as well and pay only one shipping fee.

Once again, I would like to thank you for your patience on this pre-order.  This project would not be possible without the support we have received from the greater AAA Community.

I will contact you once again as more information is provided to me by the factory.

Didn’t get one either.

Glad I lurk the forums!

I didn’t get one as well - did you send it out yet FMG?

Nor me.

Me neither.  Maybe it’s still in the works.
