You can find the thread on how to correct the FMG Italian battleship at the link below.  The thread has been moved to House Rules

The Complete G40 Set!?!  Aw man, that’s going to be a while.  I know they are making the mould for Germany and assuming they get this one right the first time (no defects in the mould like what happened with Italy), I think it takes roughly a month or so just to get the mould made at the foundery then shipped back to the factory.  Then the factory has to get with Jeremy to choose the right plastic and color.  Once that is done, they can go into full production.
With Italy, they went into full production about June 6 and were finished by the end of July or beginning of August.  Then they had to package them all up onto skids for the freight company and arrange for the freight company to go get them which I guess took another couple of months or so (early Aug to Oct 9/10).  Then the ocean voyage, customs and transit to FMG hopefully by Halloween.
So, if Germany goes by roughly the same schedule and they have the mould ready by late November/early December,  I would figure full production starting early-mid December, possibly finished by early-mid February (minimum 1000 sets ordered).  Packaging and pickup by freight company roughly mid-March and , with any luck, at FMG by April.  Now, this is just a wild guess by me just going by what happened with Italy.  Actually, I’m hoping that I am wrong and everything goes smoothly and the German units get here even sooner.  After all, they sort of “cut their teeth” with Italy so maybe it will go a little faster, not just with Germany but with all the future nations.
As for USA, it’s still in the sculpting stage so I have no clue as to how soon they will go into production.

I got a little greedy with this poll.  I voted for 8 pieces.  All 4 aircraft types are a must, plus the V-1 and V-2 rockets.  The Atlantic Wall gun emplacements seem like an interesting idea.  That would make it harder for the Allies to get back into Europe.

How about the Railway Gun?  You could make a piece like the monsterous Gustav 800mm gun.  What a cool piece that would be.  I wonder how you would actually deploy it in the game and what kind of values you would give it (movement, cost, attack, defense).  Perhaps it wouldn’t be a combat piece, but something more special like SBRs.  What a gun!  800mm is about 31.5 inches in diameter.  The massive guns on the Iowa class battleships are 16 inches.  Well, a piece like this may not be feasable, but an interesting idea nonetheless.

Well Christmas isn’t all bad now won’t even have to pay for them. Thanks mom

Bump!

@FieldMarshalGames:

Just wanted to mention also that I REALLY like the Corsair.  It was a fighter/Tac bomber.

If it was only up to me I would use it as the Tac bomber…  But Im sure most will wnat a more “iconic” Tac bomber for the USA.

this was a quote from FMG page 70 in the Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread
IF Fmg is going to stay with this idea can you please keep it the same size as regular fighters

I would be more than happy to see FMG  produce either the FW 200 Condor or the Heinkel He 277 as the German Strat Bomber.
