The Complete G40 Set!?! Aw man, that’s going to be a while. I know they are making the mould for Germany and assuming they get this one right the first time (no defects in the mould like what happened with Italy), I think it takes roughly a month or so just to get the mould made at the foundery then shipped back to the factory. Then the factory has to get with Jeremy to choose the right plastic and color. Once that is done, they can go into full production.
With Italy, they went into full production about June 6 and were finished by the end of July or beginning of August. Then they had to package them all up onto skids for the freight company and arrange for the freight company to go get them which I guess took another couple of months or so (early Aug to Oct 9/10). Then the ocean voyage, customs and transit to FMG hopefully by Halloween.
So, if Germany goes by roughly the same schedule and they have the mould ready by late November/early December, I would figure full production starting early-mid December, possibly finished by early-mid February (minimum 1000 sets ordered). Packaging and pickup by freight company roughly mid-March and , with any luck, at FMG by April. Now, this is just a wild guess by me just going by what happened with Italy. Actually, I’m hoping that I am wrong and everything goes smoothly and the German units get here even sooner. After all, they sort of “cut their teeth” with Italy so maybe it will go a little faster, not just with Germany but with all the future nations.
As for USA, it’s still in the sculpting stage so I have no clue as to how soon they will go into production.
COMBAT DICE UPDATE - FMG
-
Yeah, I can see what you mean Jeremy. The roundels look kind of sloppy compared to the images you showed us before. Plus, the ring around the crown for the ANZAC dice is too thick.
I am wondering about the color of the actual dice for ANZAC. I thought they would be closer to that steel grey of the ANZAC pieces from Pacific 40. These look almost like the dark tan color of the UK units from the original Pacific game. Is this the color you plan to use for your ANZAC Combat Units?
-
The sample pictures you just showed are the colours we are using. For the Dice and the Units
-
I would add that the bad batch of Anzac dice have not only got their blue ring line too thick, but it is also the wrong shade of blue - too light, sky blue! That’s bad…

Honestly, do some people even read the replies…… i see the frustration, he always has to explain himself multiple times…
So you can understand my frustration…. Notice the poor print quality and colours of the attached picture. The samples that are shown on our site are PERFECT.
I can’t send you guys this CRAP!! We are working to have it corrected ASAP.
Not attacking anybody, just see it happening all the time….

Perhaps a misunderstanding on my part. I thought he was only referring to the colors of the symbols, not the whole dice color as well. Either way, I don’t blame him for being upset. He was shown the prototype dice and they were perfect, then gets a whole shipment of these sub-standard, crappy looking dice.
MAKE the dang factory do it right. We will wait.

We are getting some where!
Check out the picture I was just sent from my Agent!!

Thank you for the screenshots, Jeremy. You the man. :-)

very nice! how long till we can finally purchase them?
-
Will they be available at convention?
-
Oooohh! Those look pretty.
So they come to you in big wrapped sheets like that, huh? Interesting.
Thanks for the update Jeremy.

Hey guys, do any of you know what the procedure is for buying extra FMG Combat Dice only? Say I wanted to get another couple of Italy Combat Dice - would I have to buy another whole set of six or could I just buy two? Does FMG sell 'em seperately?
Ta muchly.

I am working with Coach. He may be selling them in separate National sets on HBG?
I will touch base with him once these are in my hands

That would be SO cool if either FMG or HBG would sell the combat dice individually. Right now all my current national sets have five sets of 6 each plus 2 for a total of 32 dice per country. I currently have orders in for five sets each of ANZAC, France and Black Germany which will make them at 30 dice each. I would really like to get that extra 2 dice so they are all the same.

This would be a FANTASTIC Idea. Iwngu.com would be interested in that as well. There have been several people on miniatures forums having a hard time finding national dice (UK specifically) that are not going to cost them an arm and a leg.
