Don’t know if this is the wrong thread, but has anybody heard FMG confirm what colour the final Italy pieces will be? I take it they will be the same colour as the FMG Italy Combat Dice? Thanks guys.
You are correct sir!

RE: FMG Italy ready before October?posted in Other Axis & Allies Variants
Hahahaha! Oh but don’t forget the switch to this thread from the other one I was tracking - over there was nothing and someone referred me to this one where I had missed the past few days of….action…LOL.
Oh well, it will definitely be worth the wait! Patiently waiting…

RE: Afrika look.posted in Axis & Allies Europe 1940
My custom board I made at home HAD to be at least 4’ X 8’ to accurately represent the SHAPE of the globe. My new one will be 5’ X 10’ to make Europe easier to use with more territories. The only way to get the accurate “map” shape. I love it though - like having one of those planning maps they used in war rooms!

RE: Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion threadposted in Other Axis & Allies Variants
The command car idea is awesome. In another forum I suggested making Jeeps for the USA, but using them as command cars makes more sense. It will also allow Commander units to move 2 spaces would it not? Probably way too late for Italy but hopefully not Germany, USA, and UK. Maybe Japan can have flagships as commander units, or Flag units that attach to a ship. Just an idea. Also, how are these commander units going to be used? As stand alone units with attack and defense value, stand alone units with no attack or defense value but giving a bonus to other units in the same territory, or units that attach to a unit giving that one unit a bonus?
Actually, my thought was to have the Command Unit (equivalent to FMG’s Field Commander) act as an enhancer to infantry and other ground units somehow (maybe boosts first round attack or defense, etc). I wasn’t planning on using the unit as a sort of transport for anything - I actualy wanted the Jeep to BE the US example of a Commander unit, the Command Car as an example of the UK command unit, and the Kubelwagen as the German example, etc.
I was thinking Cost=10/Move=2/Attack=0/Defend=1/During attack, allows casualties to fire back AND during defense allows all defending ground units a first roll of 1 for each attacking ground unit (similar to how AAA works against aircraft). Unless the enemy has a Commander unit too, in which case battle is conducted normally (no advantage).
Make sense??
IMHO, It can increase +1/+1 att/def of two infantry or one tank at time.
Example:
German builds a Commander Unit (10 or 12 IPCs) and send it to Africa (Rommel), with one tank.
In Defense, the German player can choose to support two italian infantry to boost them (historically correct) or boost the german tank.
They can be captured, imprisoned in major cities (Rome,Berlin,Moscow…) and be part of a ransom or liberation ( i think 8 IPC would be right as ransom)…
That’s an interesting idea…

RE: Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion threadposted in Other Axis & Allies Variants
Does anyone know the exact models of the FMG Italian pieces as follows:
Artillery piece? It’s says 105mm but I can’t determine WHICH 105mm it might be.
Transport Truck? No info on what make/model.
Transport Ship? What class?I’m asking becuase I’m building these onto some custom charts, etc and would like to know. All others were provided or have been determined. Thanks everyone (and especially FMG)!
I think I might have found the truck. Is it possibly a Fiat 626 Heavy Truck? Pictured here:
http://www.smallscaleafvforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2074And the Artillery piece looks an awfully lot like this one (a Bohler 47mm Anti-Tank gun) rather than the 105mm decription?:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannone_da_47/32_M35Any thoughts??

RE: Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion threadposted in Other Axis & Allies Variants
FMG, just a thought…
I know it’s a bit late to be saying this, and I am in no way downplaying what you guys are accomplishing here as I plan to buy many sets of your pieces as-is, HOWEVER… I would like to have seen for Field Commander units: Jeeps, Kubelwagens, Command Cars, etc rather than an infantry-style piece (just saying) :-).
Maybe you guys can consider adding these pieces as an expansion later or something? I think those are iconic and would be greatly used somehow with some house rules.
Either way, you guys rock!

RE: Accurate Miniature Equivalents for Custom Painting your 1940 E&Pposted in Customizations
Every time I read through and look at these pics (done it now about 50 times) I am utterly amazed at your talent and patience. I cannot WAIT to try myself. You are an inspiration! I don’t think I’ll try the roundels becuase I’m afraid they won’t be nearly as good as yours, but I may give it a shot in the end. Either way, I’m waiting until the FMG pieces come to start as I get them.
Can’t wait to see your Gerries and Italians! Keep up the incredible work man! :-o

RE: Thank you Larry!posted in Axis & Allies Global 1940
Agreed! Best game ever, Larry. This concept is perfect for a guy like me who basically did this global combination back after the first A&AE and A&AP on my own custom wood-routed and stained board. This new effort adds dimensions that I am working into my 2.0 version. Thanks for all you do for us who love the game and have followed since the beginning!

OMG Absolutely friggin AMAZING! I love the nose art and the artwork on the tanks as well. Those German fighters look stunning!

RE: AAA50th painted minisposted in Customizations
Absolutely beautiful man! Another inspiration - I love the wooden decks on the ships and the detailed weathering/effects on the towers, etc - adds much more 3D look than stock models - truly excellent!

RE: It is in my grubby hands!posted in Axis & Allies Europe 1940
FMG-
Just sent you an email with my order number. Thanks for the rapid response! Jeremy, you guys rock! Mine is en route. Darn! Was hoping it’d get here today while my wife was out of town for the weekend so I could bury myself. Instead, it’s next Tuesday ETA - she gets back that night. Oh well, I’ve waited this long to play it, I suppose I can wait a few more days. Thanks guys, can’t wait to place my order for everything else from y’all! And its nice to have an official ETA now! :-D
