Good point. Maybe I should check that.
Thanks
Excellent news Fmg thanks again for your commitment on this project. Can’t wait to have them.
What is the procedure for receiving the FMG ITALY Combat Units exactly? Are we suposed to receive an email from UPS or something? I have received no such email so far. Is there anything I need to do?
Thanks.
Please see pictorial evidence that this is REALLY happening!!
I was up till 1:30am shipping last night. Another round like this and all pre-orders will be out the door by Monday.
NOTE: Our shipment to HBG went out the door today. If you have current orders for singles OR would like to place a new order for singles, Coach will have them in stock this week for shipping.
You can order FMG ITALY singles here:

Thanks again for your patience and support in seeing this project through to the end. Pre-orders allow FMG and HBG to bring the community these great products.

FMG Jeremy,
Like everyone else, I’m happy these units are actually “in-stock” again.
But mostly, I’m happy for YOU. Your having to deal with this long ordeal that wasn’t your fault is now finally coming to a happy conclusion. Thank you for your efforts on all of our behalf.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy. I wonder of my order is in that pile. I’m getting all giddy now, hee hee hee hee.
So the boxes in that first picture, that is how they come to you from China?

Yes, they come in cases of 40 with Field Marshal Games on the side. Showing weight etc for customs/shipping purposes.
Hmmm. I emailed several weeks ago and confirmed that my order was still on the books. My spam filter lets UPS emails through, however I have still not received a shipping notification.
Should I be worried?

Probably not. Looks like FMG is shipping out the rest of his orders now.
Hey Jeremy, a quick question about future nation sets. A while back you gave a list of the order of the national sets FMG will be working on. After UK and ANZAC you listed Canada. I was just wondering if your Canadian set is going to be a full set like the other nations with all the different scupts. Mainly, I am wondering about Aircraft Carriers, Battleships and Strategic Bombers because I don’t think Canada had any of those in WW2. At least, I don’t remember ever hearing of them.
Of course, for gaming purposes, it would be nice to have those pieces available for game play. After all, once the game gets going, it rarely goes according to history. I don’t think ANZAC ever actually had any carriers but many players who play ANZAC often get one. So, in those cases would they simply be British sculpts like with ANZAC?
Great news FMG can’t wait. Any news on the future units and what moulds you have decided on would be great. I know you are very busy but when they all ship out lets beging the discussion on the upcoming units. Thanks again for your efforts. I hope you make a ton of money.
Day two… Another 50 packages out the door. We are shipping as FAST as we can!

The Canadians will most likely be the same as the UK, but in their own colour with their own dice. Paying for an entire new mould just to change the infantry would hold back the rest of the Major nations.
It will be a full set and include all units.
I got my UPS tracking info -they’re on their way! Thanks FMG.
I’m not sure what I think about a set of Canadian pieces – has got me thinking though…
Another Question for FMG: (and maybe this has already been discussed but I don’t recall) will there or can there be a set of pieces or tokens for technology development such as jets and rockets, etc? If not from FMG then maybe HBG?

I’m not 100% sure, but I think that is something HBG may be interested in doing.
Like FMG other sets, I will supplement his UK set.
I already have the sculpts picked out and will possibly run them after the Neutral set.
I will do Candian pieces also.
Jeremy, I just received an email from FMG advising that the Combat Dice received from the factory are unsatisfactory. Is this just the Italy Combat Dice so far? How many of these defect dice have the factory so far produced? This must be a terrible setback. However, I have also been advised that my order of both the Italy Combat Units & Italy Combat Dice will still be despatched to me. And if I read correctly, you are hoping to receive the corrected Italy Combat Dice in time to despatch before Christmas (although I understand that this is not a promise or guarantee), so am I right in thinking you will get the said dice sets out to customers in due course?
Thank you.

Answered in his thread about them here -> http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=25589.0
The entire batch of Italy dice was unacceptable and as soon as he gets acceptable replacements from the factory (made a priority by the factory to get it out asap) he will ship them to everyone who ordered them at no extra cost.
FMG already has Italy Combat Dice. Those came out a couple of summers ago. I’m pretty sure the combat dice in question are the new France, ANZAC and Black Germany dice.
