Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

Hey Jeremy,

I was just thinking the other day… do you still intend to make all future COMBAT UNITS tank sculpts with moving turrets? Or was this a novelty idea that has possibly proved to be too complicated to implement at the factory production stage? I personally like the idea of tanks/other armoured vehicles having revolving turrets, but to be honest I would be just as happy without. What are your thoughts on this? Would designing standard pieces be more cost effective to you (and therefore to us) as well as being easier to produce? Just wondering… What do the rest of you people think about this?

Thank you for listening.

Lozmoid,
Pretty sure they will all have moveable turrets.  A while back, Jeremy showed a pre-production pic (the white plastic pieces) of two of the King Tiger pieces and their turrets were moveable, so that at least includes Germany as well as the Italian pieces.
Now, if FMG decides this factory is too unreliable with all the missed dates and goes to another factory, which was suggested after Germany gets produced, then that may change.

As for my own opinion, I think having moveable turrets is a really cool and novel idea.  However, it is not a necessary thing for these gaming pieces and if it would help defray some cost or speed up production a little, then I would be fine with fixed pieces.

Tomorrow is the 20th where do we stand on these pieces.

YES YES YES. OUTSTANDING NEWS. I can’t wait FMG. Thanks again.

I know you will Jeremy but please post when they arrive as we are breathlessly waiting for these. Also will you open the pre-order from Germany right after Italy shows up? Thanks again.

Release of COMBAT UNITS - ITALY is SO CLOSE…  that I can confidently open up pre-orders for COMBAT UNITS - GERMANY.

If you have not ordered COMBAT UNITS - ITALY yet…  add COMBAT UNITS - GERMANY to your order to save on shipping!

Here is the link to the product page.

Once again, I can not guarantee the release date of COMBAT UNITS - GERMANY, but I can tell you the project is moving far faster than ITALY was.

Thanks again for your support of FMG

Jeremy, if I do the pre-order for COMBAT UNITS - GERMANY, does that mean that when you get the COMBAT UNITS - ITALY and the France/ ANZAC COMBAT DICE that I will have to wait until COMBAT UNITS - GERMANY are released before I get anything?  If this is the case, then I just can’t do this pre-order.  It’s already been a really long time and I really want my COMBAT UNITS - ITALY and COMBAT DICE.  We don’t know how much longer it will be before COMBAT UNITS - GERMANY will actually be released and I just can’t wait that much longer.
Is it possible to do a pre-order for COMBAT UNITS - GERMANY and make it a separate order?  I would prefer to pay a little extra shipping and get my Italians and Combat Dice sooner.

I gather from his post and from a bit of personal opinion thrown in that if you order Italy + Germany NOW, you will be able to get them both at the same time (and save on shipping) with the pre-order pricing.  If you’ve ALREADY ordered Italy, it will be shipped out to you as soon as it arrives to FMG (and so you wouldn’t be adding Germany to it if you’ve already ordered Italy and have been waiting).

That’s my take anyway.

Edit : Especially after reading the Germany Pre-Order post and this quote "If you have not yet ordered COMBAT UNITS - ITALY, you can pre-order GERMANY also and save on shipping!

"

What it means is we will ship ITALY as soon as they arrive.  If you pre-order GERMANY also, you only pay one shipping fee.  We will cover the additional shipping once GERMANY arrives.  This is a benefit we can give you for supporting us with a pre-order.

This is a great birthday present today, to here that my Italians will soon be shipped. I just pre-ordered the Germans and paid the shipping. Does this quote mean that I will get a shipping refund when the Germans do ship?

I just put in my pre-order.  I had to pay for shipping in a whole new order and had to get a new password.  There are NO previous orders in my account.  I sure hope you have my Italy and combat dice preorder in your files.  I was able to use my ROMMEL discount so that took away some of the shipping cost.

Pre-ordered two sets tonight.  :-)

In the server transfer process some account information was lost.  DO NOT WORRY

We have pre-order information stored and your orders have not been lost.

Thanks

Wow, great news! This is probably a silly question but I’ll ask it anyway: I originally pre-ordered COMBAT UNITS - ITALY during the ‘Call To Arms’ offensive. If I pre-order COMBAT UNITS - GERMANY now, will it mean that I only pay one shipping cost? Probably not, but would just like to be clear. Thank you Jeremy.

DONE!  Ordered two German sets!  WOOHOO!

Oh, even better than my interpretation!  :)

VERY VERY COOL!  Everything seems to be getting so close now.  I’m getting very excited.
