Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

How about just making an announcement post in the other sections of this forum like AAG, AAR, AAE, AAP, …

Let’s start with that so everyone here knows about the new piece project.

That sounds good IL. We just need to leak this project to the other parts of the forum with a link of some kind. Curiosity should take care of the rest. Maybe even a “MOVED TO”-would still leave a footprint (I know that would be sneaky and under handed but that’s considered  good strategy in AA lol).  Your right we should wait until we get pictures of the prototypes-more enthusiasm.

I wonder if FMG need someone to paint up the pieces for promo?

HINT HINT  :-D

But seriously, im looking at ways to do some better photos of my pieces and once I get my FMG bits I will be painting them up, you can rest assured of that.

so how’s the project goin?

Project is going fine.  All the sculpts are ready (except the Italian bomber) and I will be sending them to the factory THE SAME day AA42 lands on my desk!  IL had suggested that we hold out until the new sculpts are released with this new game just so we can make sure there are no NEW surprises that would be a shame to miss in this very expensive new set.

In Aug I will have an update and release the list of Sculpts for each nation.

I agree that it is a wise move to wait until we see the next iteration of Axis & Allies.

Right, they might come in a different scale

Just look how they treated A&A Minis

You also would not want doubles in sculpts, not that it matters with Italy.  I see no reason to delay the  Italy Pieces due to AA42

WHAT IF???  There is a NEW unit we don’t know about?  Just like when the Destroyer was added it became common in all games…  I would hate to have a great set missing this piece.  There could be a secret.  It is already July and we have very little detail and no pictures of the new game!?!?!?!

If someone can tell me 100% certain…  that there are NO SURPRISES in  AA42…  I will send the sculpts for ITALY tomorrow to start the process.

I seriously doubt we will be lucky enough to get a new piece with this edition

but nevertheless I understand you reasoning for the delay.

FMG, can you at least tell as what the Itlian peices are models of, and what kind of poses the infanty pieces are in and what weapons they are carrying.

Ok, you all have been very patient with this project so I will give you a small taste of what is to come…

ITALIAN NAVAL UNITS

BB LITTORIO

CV AQUILA

DD SOLDATI Class

CA ZARA Class

SS MARCELLO Class

ITALIAN ARMOR UNITS

Carro Armato 41

Semovente 75/18 (Really an SPG)

ITALIAN FIGHTER

Macchi 202 Folgore

ITALY will also have Infantry in two poses (no longer looking like they will fall over their own feet), An officer/commander unit, A half-track, A truck, and more….

good point

Thanks for the pics.  U guys got the bomber sculpt yet?  Does anyone know of any company that makes WWII sculpts?

So keen to use the Semovente 75/18  as the artillery piece.

As far as im concerned artillery in AA50 equals arillery, self propelled guns, and all other forms of heavy support weapon.

That and i do not enjoy painting those little pokey artillery pieces from AA50, Japan i’m looking at you!

Hey!  I think I just found a few Italian Bomber sculpts.  I’m not sure it’s what you wanted, and I don’t think the detail is in great quality.  It’s the Sm 79, and the Z1007.

hope this helps a little.
