They wont let you post products for FMG on the Ah forums. Chimps don’t like that. Try Boardgamegeek instead. Larry wont let you do that either. You can try and see, but you will get chimps coming out of the woodwork once you pull that.
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.
We cant be sneaky like that…But if you accidentally make a thread about it i can move it back… :?
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.
That is a very prudent decision to make. You can benefit to seeing how these new pieces turn out and if in poor shape, take advantage of the deficiencies and fill the void of uber quality pieces. IN the mean time Italy is more than fair game as well as the new types of units we all know will not be coming out in any AA game. Thats where you again fill this void.
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?
All these are excellent looking pieces. What about the half track?
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.
