Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

FMG- The unit list in the update thread seems a bit out of date with the other things that have been talked about here. Can you list the unit types that will now be included with each army set? Here’s what I remember:

Infantry 1
Infantry 2
Commander
Mech Inf (half track)
Artillery
Tank 1
Tank 2
Fighter
Tac Bomber
Bomber
Carrier
Battleship
Cruiser
Destroyer
Sub
Transport
Bunker/Blockhouse

Each NATIONAL SET WOULD INCLUDE:

26 Infantry
12 Artillery
12 Armour
12 Fighters
9 Bombers
12 Submarines
12 Destroyers
9 Crusiers
6 Battleships
6 Aircraft Carriers
12 Transports
NEW
6 Bunkers / Pill Boxes
3 Commander Units
12 Half tracks
12 Trucks
3 Task Force Markers (Like Pacific)
3 ********* Special Suprise

FMG has already informed us that this list is largely obsolete (for example, some types units are absent), and will later be replaced with a more accurate list.  FMG also confirmed that the amount of certain types of pieces will differ from nation to nation, using as an example, the hint that the USSR will receive less carrier pieces than Japan.

@FieldMarshalGames:

Yes we have.  The first Edition run will include the following for each Nation (Italy included)

Naval Units:
Transport
Submarine
Destroyer
Cruiser
Carrier
Battleship
Task Force Marker (Similar to AAP)

Air Units:
Fighter
Bomber
Dive Bomber
Air Transport

Army Units:
Infantry (Two Sculpts each)
Armour (Two Sculpts each)
Artillery
Half Track (Priest for Commonwealth units)
Truck
Commander Unit

Other Units Bonus:
Bunker Unit
Naval Base Unit-Marker (Like AAP)
Air Base Unit-Marker (Like AAP)
Army HQ Unit-Marker

This is what we have so far….  (We also are working on a BATTLE CHEST to hold these units… This may come later)

Okay this was the last list that FMG posted

all the italian pieces yes. i hope that FMG will be quick to post the others along the way

Still miss the aeroplanes, the mech. inf, the cruiser and the submarine…. ;)

Soon we will have more than pictures, we will have the pieces.

which of course is better than pictures……

I’m looking forward to seeing the Italian planes.

I’d purchase at least the Italian set from FMG - if they are still doing this…

@Ministry:

Absolutely they are.  Hopefully Italy will be done soon then the rest of the countries can come faster … getting that first set done is quite a monumental task I’d imagine, especially at the kind of quality we’re seeing!

Still hoping to see an answer to this…

Oh great… Hundreds more minis to paint…  :|

hey FMG have you come up with how many each type of units each contry will get??

Is there an echo in here……?

@Variable:

Yes…yes…yes…yes…yes…yes…yes…yes…yes…yes…yes…

@FieldMarshalGames:

@Brain:

Yeah but are the molds being made or are they already made?

The ITALIAN mold will be made soon.  Just have to finish up the planes and a few odds n ends.

In the interests of funding this project and to make sure everyone gets them sooner than later we will release the Nations as we go…  and have a COMPLETE set for sale at the end.

Well for me that just means picking up each nation as they come out (provided shipping isn’t and issue. :O) ) and then the complete set at the end.  :mrgreen:

What Italian fighters are you looking at?

FIGHTERS
  Fiat G.50 Freccia
  Fiat G.55 I Centauro
  Macchi MC.200 Saetta
  Macchi MC.202 Folgore
  Macchi MC.205V Veltro
  Reggiane Re.2000 Falco
  Reggiane Ariete
  Reggiane Re.2002
  Reggiane Ariete II
  Reggiane Sagittario

Personally I like the  Macchi MC.200 Saetta.  Mainly because it has a very distinct shape from other fighters of the period. With how the engine cowling is.

As to the manufacturing place has a two-week holiday…that would be nice but that also tells me it might be a Chinese holiday.

At any rate great job and am loving my three sets of dice!  Although I have not played a game with them yet.

Well let me take that back.  My 2 year old and me have lined them up in side the new dice tower as well. Then have the WOW factor when we roll them in the dice tower.

“Oh wow”  “Oh Jeeze” are a few of his sayings right now.  :-D
