    Seeing them in the brown color all together really brings it home. Looks like a finished product. Are you happy with the final result? It will go very nicely with everything. Can’t wait to get my hands on these things! Great job again.

    Isn’t the cruiser the one under the carrier? It’s a bit different from the destroyer under it.

    Ahhh!  FINAL production samples.  Beautiful.  Can’t wait to get my hands on them.

    So, they are a few shades darker than the OOB Italian pieces.  Well, I guess that pretty much cancels the idea of mixing these with OOB pieces.  I would like to see some of these next to the FMG Italian combat dice just to see how close the color matching is.  I like that the infantry and commander figures look to be the same color as the rest of the pieces.  With OOB, often the infantry were a slightly different shade.

  • Customizer

    Hmm… not sure I’d put too much faith in what shade they appear to be on your computer screen, my wife’s a photographer and has went through great lengths to calibrate the system’s colors with the subject matter - but I still see slight differences.  Just say’in (and problem solved if you paint 'em).

    These figs are looking awesome… especially excited for the infantry.

  • TripleA '12

    I don’t know if this has been covered before, but does anybody know what kind of plastic the FMG minis are made out of? Is it the same kind of brittle stuff that you get with normal A&A? (except for the Infantry, 'cause I know they’re different anyways) Or is it the kind of bendy stuff that you get from places like Eagle Games? Many thanks.

    I stopped going on AA for a while.


  • Wow are the pre-orders going to ship in the next week. I am stoked. It is finally here. Outstanding.


  • The final product looks great - can’t wait to receive my order and see the pieces in person. :-D

    On a side note, I do hope that in the event that this project is financially successful, FMG will consider producing extra unit types, including a Pre-War Battleship, Light or Escort Carrier,  Heavy (4-Engined?) Bomber, Self-Propelled Artillery, and maybe even a third Tank/Tank Destroyer option for each nation. (Of course, coachofmany could already be making some of these himself).

    Very true.  The quality of your video chip/card can make a difference as well as the brightness, color and contrast setting on your computer.

    So you are saying that the Italian units we see in the pic may not be as dark as they look there?  Or may be darker?  Well, I guess I will just have to wait and see when I get mine.  No matter what shade of brown they are, I still want then very badly.

    We are developing a relation ship with HistoricalBoardGaming.com.  We will do the main sets, and they will do all the expansions and additional sets.  This is very expensive and time consuming.  We are glad to have the Help.
