Issues with Field Marshal Games?


  • @IWillNeverGrowUp:

    I can’t comment really on anything related to issues with FMG but;

    @Wolfshanze:

    I wish a more reliable company (like IWNGU) could stock the things FMG seems to have exclusively (like Combat Dice).

    Actually we do carry FMG products when available. We have combat dice in stock and can get our hands on most of the other products fairly quickly (the dice are the sellers, so that’s all we keep in stock at the moment, even though it’s in limited quantities).

    Any chance you can get the brass flight stands? I didn’t see them on your site.

    I already have my Combat Dice, so I’m happy, but to anybody else who wants/needs a set, I for-one, heartily recommend you order them from IWNGU instead of FMG.

    Currently awaiting restock of flight stands and dice.

    Been over a month since I made an order, haven’t gotten anything yet.
    As seems to be the norm for FMG, no status updates or replies.

    Their website has been down for well over a week now. Kinda worrying, ngl.


  • @CWO:

    As I recall, FMG was planning to produce a German set after the Italian one, but the project somehow never got completed,

    The German set never got completed because after the Italian set was out, Hasbro made new molds of the A&A infantry with a different size, making the FMG sets worthless,

    Not at all. The German set never got completed because the manufacturer closed its doors and took the molds and money with them.
    This almost completely killed the company (FMG) and HBG picked up significant amounts of product in trade from FMG to fulfill all of the preorders with credit for their own product.


  • On another note, unrelated to the current topic at hand (but still in the ballpark), we’re in talks with FMG right now for a possible distribution deal. Keep your eyes open.

    Oh, so you can actually get someone at FMG to talk?

    I’m getting multiple messages on my YouTube channel about paying customers not getting their orders and being unable to contact FMG after several attempts… is a boycott of FMG in order? I feel that we should protect the A&A community from experiencing the same hardship others have endured, and there’s no excuse for not communicating with your customer base.

    I have never ordered anything from there because of the negative comments I’ve read online about their service or lack thereof. It’s too bad for them too because I’ve probably spent about $1000 at HBG over the last 3 months when you add in the shipping costs.


  • I personally have never had an issue with FMG, and I have order like 5 times from them.  However, I will probably not order from them anymore…

    The main thing I want from them are the combat dice, but HBG never seems to have the ones I need in stock.


  • @Wolfshanze:

    Over time, yes. More often than not it’s not a business related discussion however. Still waiting on details of our potential deal …

    I cannot stock items when FMG does not return my emails or phone calls. Sorry.

    Not your fault.  Hopefully you can get them soon! :)

    That’s very strange… didn’t you guys bail him out when the Chinese manufacturer robbed him? If it were me, you would be the last guy I would ignore.

    I found it harder and harder to get a hold of him as well as returned emails. After a couple months of trying, I finally gave up.
    This was 6-9 months ago, I was needing more of his dice.

    So glad I was able to get my dice earlier this year… I wonder if I’m the last guy to ever get dice from FMG… lolz.

    However, I must say HBG & IWNGU are the best… always great service.

    We just shipped out a full set of FMG dice today. ;)

    3 more sets left in stock at the moment.

    Yeah, idk whats going on over at FMG, but it’s getting pretty damn bad lately.
    The previous two times I ordered from them was fine enough (even with the lack of communication)

    But its been over 3 months since I did my last order with them and I still have nothing.
    No email replies, nothing.
    I tried contacting them through Paypal, nothing so far, definitely seeking a refund soon if they still don’t bother to reply.

    Just curious, what brought you back to FMG a third time that you didn’t get the first two times?  I got the one thing I found super cool at FMG (the combat dice) and after that, there’s not really much I can think of that I can’t get elsewhere from more reliable sources (like HBG or IWNGU).

    So glad I got what I got when the getting was good, and sorry for your current situation.
