My 1940 Ammo Box arrived. It is awesome. So well made and huge. I love it. I can’t wait for the ANZAC and french die to come so I complete it. I’ve decided it will be used for the FMG pieces only as they arrive. Can’t wait to start filling it with Italy and Germany and so on. Nice job FMG.

RE: Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread
I for one can’t wait to get the pieces. I also understand the delays, and would rather have the transparency of the process and communicated delays then being in the dark. They will be here soon, I’m sure!!!

RE: Field Marshal Games : AMMO BOX
So of i ordered a Ammo Box and it hasn’t shipped yet, do I have the option of getting the new one? Because honestly, I’d be a bit upset if the new one is way better and I just spent $300 on the old version.
This is cool but if its expensive it seems kind of pointless. I mean you already have boxes for the games. :|
The ammo box is for FMG’s Combat Units. They are not for the cheap junk that comes with the board game.
It is expensive but it is a nice touch to your games room. You don’t NEED to drive a Cadillac, but it is nice to sometimes.
There is a NEW version of the AMMO box being released Next Week.
You will be given the option when your order ships. It is only fair. The new box has a higher cost for us, but we are willing to do this for our customers during the Change over.
That is great. Thanks. I’ can’t wait to see the new option!

RE: Possible "Unoffical Pre-order"??
Any word on a possible link for German preorders for this site? I’m willing a ready to lock in some sets!

RE: Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread
Great news! When can we start helping you out and pre-ordering the Germans?

RE: Review of historicalboardgaming.com IPC Certificates + V2 Rockets
I ordered a couple sets of the Certificates. Can’t wait to see them. I also ordered a bunch of USSR ships to help me in my quest to make a cold war War game. I have been selling pieces on Ebay myself, and I love this website. Great way to get some individual pieces. I hope it’s a huge success! I have found in my travels on Ebay that selling these pieces is just as much for the love of the game as anything. The profits are very small once everything is taken into consideration. So please help support coachofmany. This is a great idea and will be benefical to all players of A&A!

RE: Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread
Alright, so I’m sure this has been discussed already, but I can’t seem to find the answer in the 130 plus pages of the thread. Are the colors of the FMG pieces going to match the A&A 1040 pieces from AH for all countries? I already ordere my Itailians and I will order all other countries as well, but I’m curious. I will probably incorporate all the FMG’s into my current game pieces to have even more variety, but I won’t do that if the colors don’t match. It may determine how many I need to order.

RE: Possible "Unoffical Pre-order"??
Great Thanks,
I ordered a set to give to a friend for the holidays. I understand they may not be here before X-mas, and that is fine. I’ll just give them a nice card explaining what’s going on! I cannot wait now. Then, bring on the Germans!!!

RE: Possible "Unoffical Pre-order"??
I was trying to order some more. The ROMMEL code is not working for me now. No biggy, just thought I’d mention it. I did use all caps.

RE: Field Marshal Games : AMMO BOX
Is the Ammo Box big enough to store the game boards from G40?

RE: Missing French Pieces
A friend of mine just got her game and she was missing the German pieces. How much does that stink. She is gonna use Japan’s pieces to play Europe until she gets them from WOTC. I guess it’s bound to happen.

RE: Cheapest place 2 buy the global game?

RE: Picture of AA Maps compared
Has anyone else noticed that on their boards the shade of blue in the ocean is different on the section that includes South Africa? The other three boards are all the same shade. It’s not a big deal, but it does drive me a bit crazy. I have two set’s, and this is a problem on both of them.

RE: AAG40 FAQ
OK, so a crusier and 3 transports from the USA move into sea zone outside of North Africa to do a Amphibious assault. There is a destroyer and transport from Italy in the seazone. So in the sea battle both the crusier and destroyer hit each other. Now all that is left are the USA’s transports, and the Italian transport. Does the Italian transport prevent the US from dropping off the men to attack?

RE: My review copy of Axis & Allies Europe 1940 has arrived
It was. That’s why I can’t really make a call on how even the game sets up. The rolls were so hot for the Axis and so cold for the Allies. Other then France holding off Germany in G1, all the other battles were wins for the Axis with minimal loss. And I do believe if I had gone at Russia with both the Axis countries after England fell, it would have been a relatively easy victory. Splitting them and taking Germany to NA was fun, but not the best choice. I did it just to say I did it. America could have held out a long time, I’m sure, seeing as they could put 20 infantry out a turn with their new found wealth and two major ICs. But it was fun and I look forward to another game of E40 before we do a full Global!

RE: My review copy of Axis & Allies Europe 1940 has arrived
So I had a chance to play this weekend. It was fun. Tried some different things so it didn’t play out just like any A&A game. I played the axis. Germany failed to take France on G1, but did kill off all the British fleet around UK only losing one fighter and 2 subs. I had bought an AC thinking that not having to worry about Russia until the 4th turn I’d go at England and taking France would give me contol of Europe already. Well not taking France with Germany really hurt my plan, so after the Allies started to buy infantry to seal up the East, and UK bought some men and a plane to go at boats and shore up defenses in England, I had to take out France with Italy, so they got the IPCs. It worked out OK though as Italy then turned to Africa an rolled through starting more on turn 2. Lucky rolls too. Barely lost a unit. Only problem I found was there are not enough Italian control markers to take all of Africa. Had to put them on the borders as I got to the West and South. Well, Germany bought a bunch of Transports on G2 and England bought a ton of Men. With the fleet and a full AC Englan chickened out and didn’t attack with his planes. He wanted the defense. Germany rolled into England on turn G3 and won with one Tank and 2 fighters left. Lost almost the full airforce, but now controlled England and France by turn 3. Plus with all the extra money was able to build up the next turn. America, now in the war, had spent early money buying transports and land units mostly, thinking he would jump to Africa and help out. Now he was in defense mode as Africa was almost all Italian and Germany still had a decent fleet. Germany bought more Transports and men and a couple plans on G4, and by the time Russia joins the war, they had moved a bunch of men as a defensive wall. America bought more troops on US4, but with the Naval base in England, Germany moved over and landed in Canada on G5. At this point my friend decided that even though the US was now in the war, Italy was going to be able to help defend against Russia and Germany was going to keep hitting North America, and he through in the towel. It was fun, but I had great rolls all night and that made it a lot easier. Virtually every risk I took went my way. I left the game set up and I think I’ll run through the motions to see if it would hold up. The Axis were very strong at this point. It was fun to land in America. I’ve never done that that early before. Not having a Russian front in the first 4 rounds made it too tempting and I had to try. Thumbs up for the game so far, but I would have liked more US transports and more control markers for Italy.
