That maybe the only way for the CP to stand up to the assualt. Althougg they cpuld probably still pull off the RR and then turn those forces south toward India instead of western Europe. Of course, then the Americans builds and posistioning comes into play in a big way, for a large enough US force could tilt the balance in the west before India can be taken.

Has anyone attempted an Ottoman first strategy? Using all of Britians IPCs in India, and using France to help secure Africa and then push on Syria. It leaves France solo to defend western europe and Italy by itself to hold back Austria, but if the CP is going for a Russia first the Alliance does have time to make the attempt. Also it puts a very large British army at the CP's backdoor with America beggining to land stacks of troops in France by the time Russia is finished off.

Would this work?

Country specfic chips so you could stack multiple nations units under one nations piece? So, I may have a French infantry on top but below him is a stack of Light green(british)dark green(American) and blue(French) chips that represent a multinational infantry force. Then repeat for all your armies and bamn you only ever have one stack of every unit type for your side in a territory. I agree that as the game goes on the Western front becomes an almost impossible pile of every western nation packed into three or four territories.

Sadly with eight nations it would be expensive for all of these chips and you would have to find spray paint that somewhat matches the nations in order to make these nation specific chips, but who cares if you really want to solve the problem on a game you have already paid a hundred bucks for.

I got my pieces today and they were well worth the wait, and I cannot wait to order some Germans when they are ready to go. 

Same here, I have a tracking number and an e-mail saying I was to recieve it today and yet nothing has come so I guess UPS is having issues.

You cannot say things like that...I have no such message waiting for me in my e-mail. It has been a long time since December 10th when I pre-ordered these pieces and I have sat in near silence awaiting them but my nerves are almost shot from the waiting and "I can't take any more scares!"

Great idea, I like being able to see it all in a glance and not having to search through page after page to find who has what.

We are on the downhill part of this marathon so all you have to do is hold on. I let go of my frustration by burning things and harming small animals...... just kidding!!!

The Mustang all the way, this fighter is so overdue for A&A its sick.

what will? differnt colour chips for unit stacking? cuz i need some blue and yellow ones. (10, 20)

Do I see a future project for FMG or HBG?

We have these in production as we speak.  Will be released at the same time as the New COMBAT DICE.

Wow, ok that explains your response to my email with this idea last year! Awesome!

They look great! I look forward to seeing them in person, and I can't wait to see the Germans in all their "grey" glory.

Fantastic Map 

Here is the e-mail I just sent to all pre-order customers:

I didn't receive one, but I follow the progress through the forums anyway.

Cheers for keeping us informed FMG

Same here..keep up the good work

Keep up the good work, you have done what many have dreamed about but have never actually done.

I just want to tell you good luck. We're all counting on you. 

Well if there was any chance of civil war breaking out in China it would be soon enough to stop this whole project!! 

Just kidding, keep your spirits up and this will all be finished soon enough.
