Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

@Upside-down_Turtle:

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.

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.

I would ask you all to applaud Upside-down-Turtle…  He found the MISSING LINK!!

Anyone else fighting the urge to break down the doors at FMG and start screaming HURRY UP DAMMIT!    I NEED IT!!!

Actually the reason I am looking forward to this is because I picked up my AA50 board on ebay for $30, but it came with no game pieces. Been using old gray German sculpts for Italy and destroyers with damage markers under then for cruisers :(

No one more than Field Marshal!!  I have been working on this FOREVER it seems…  it’s all coming together now!

Well OK.  I can hold off turning big and green for a couple more months I guess.  I’m not sure if you covered this question, but are you including China also? I guess it doesn’t matter. I’ve been using the puke green UK sculpts for them and nobody has said anything yet…

the great thing is that these people offer 2 bomber sculpts (though the Z1007 has no pic).  If AA42 has one bomber sculpt, you can use the other.

That is, unless they decide to throw in an extra “heavy bomber” piece for each nation.  That doesn’t seem likely though, since it will only have ~300 pieces.

CHINA will also be included as a separate release and as part of the COMPLETE set.

ITALY will be released first, followed by the other nations.  Once ITALY is complete the others will follow rapidly.

Thanks for the update! Sure am looking forward to these  :-D

On  a side note, what in the world did I do to get bad karma already? lol    :roll:

I can’t believe how close we all are to this being in our hands :-o Even though I could lose my job any day :|, am being forced to sell my upside down house :roll:, and have an 8 month old eating a hole in my wallet :evil:…

I WILL spend money on this as soon as FMG will let me!!! :-D

Will China have tanks and such, too, or just the infantry?  Will there be Communist Chinese units as well?

Thanks for my first karma point! Its even a positive one.

Well after hearing the reviews about the new AA42 I would think that the Field Marshall games pieces progect is a go! from what I read the pieces are just ok and FMG’s will be much better. So I say go for it FMG, I will be buying at least 3 sets from you guys and I’m sure my friends will be too!

I am stunned by AA42.  It is just a rehash of basic AA with AA50 units.  What a missed opportunity.

AA consists of rules, a map, and units.  AA players can supply better maps and rules with abundance, and have done so.  WOTC maintains its market position solely by its monopoly on supplying quality units bundled with its uninventive rules and maps.  Once FMG starts selling its units, the game is over for WOTC.  There is nothing exclusive left to offer.  I may buy AA42 out of nostalgia, but I wonder if I will ever play it.
