Ok, as promised we will be releasing ITALY and CHINA Field Marshal COMBAT DICE early next year.  We needed to get AA50 before we started design so they would match the quality of the original COMBAT DICE.

I am giving AAA.org members these exclusive pictures and the opportunity to have your say in the design process before they go into production.  Let us know what you think, what we should change, what you would like to see, etc...

We are Axis & Allies fans and players also so your input is appreciated.

These pictures are FAKE.  The dice do not yet exist.  These are representations only!

Here is what we have designed so far for the ITALY die.

I can't see the picture. I would just make the die just like you made the previous. The powers color with the symbol from the game. Have the Italian target on it and the symbol for China from AAP.

For whatever reason now I can see the picture. I think the concept Italian die looks about perfect.

Just do the Chinese die in a light green the with the symbol of China. The blue oval with the white star.

Yes i like the Italian dice. Just make them exactly like AA50

also for France or China use the standard roundels

I think you should make a AA gun die, with a plane with a superimposed target on it, or shot down written on the one pip.

or write flak hit...not sure.

Here is a pick of the CHINA die you requested.  The color is off but it is just photo shop.

The Chinese concept die looks good. That's exactly how it should be done. Of course with the colors slightly adjusted like you said. Great use for AAP too! After you get out your new dice you should consider making new peices for the game. I don't know if you have capability to do so? If you did it would be a gold mine because everyone here would buy multiple copies!

The white star in the middle needs to come closer to the edge of the blue roundel...like it does in the map

I would use AAP Chinese tokens to get the idea.

Something like this for China



I think the Red and Gold are appropriate if you want to properly represent the CPC part of the Second Unified Front. I think a red border ring around the KMT star would probably be good enough, but a thing ring of gold around that would be cool for Mao.

Not a bad idea but, I would prefer it if the symbol on the die looked the symbol from the game.

yes me too its too late to make it correct exactly. It has to conform to the map so it matches. The roundel above does not match.

Ok, Thanks for the input guys!  I will have this roundel but on the prototype #2.  I want to go into production ASAP so please let me know if you have any more concerns or comments. 

I like the other suggetions BUT they will not look right on a die, the "flower" will be to small.

(Can't wait to get them done, just played today and had to use stock BLACK dice for ITALY and stock RED dice fro CHINA... Blahhh)
