Comapny doing minis up that would go great with Struggle.

[thenorthman]

Hey all,

There is a company that is working on producing some Axis and Allies type miniatures that are much more detailed than the current Axis and Allies line with numerous different sculpts as well.

Still a few thing missing but here is a list of what they are going to make for each nation....

So for clarity sake, will be France, China, and ANZAC be represented in the complete set or will we have to wait for a second release?

Also for clarity sake, the units listed below are the ones that made the final cut into the set correct?
*units are those which are not currently found in AA40 (most of which should have been)

Naval Units:
Transport
Submarine
Destroyer
Cruiser
Carrier
Battleship
*Task Force Marker (Similar to AAP)

Air Units:
Fighter
Bomber
Dive Bomber (TAC Bomber)
*Air Transport

Army Units:
*Infantry (Two Sculpts each)
*Armour (Two Sculpts each)
Artillery
Half Track
*Truck
*Commander Unit

Other Units Bonus:
*Major Factory
*Minor Factory
*AA Gun
*Bunker Unit (fortification)
*Naval Base Unit-Marker
*Air Base Unit-Marker
*Army HQ Unit-Marker

Katyusha rocket launchers, escort carriers, and early war fighters are a few pieces that I know off hand that would not be represented.

Which is why I re-oredered the game so I can get it to fit inside my game table.  Then with these detailed miniatures it will be great.

They are doing multiple units in each unit type, so I think that the specialty units may just be covered by the FMG guys.

I know Jeremy.  He sells my dice towers for me.

Right now he is still finishing up the Italian set, with Japan next.  We should be able to talk to him to get some of these specialty units included.

[thenorthman]

Ah...then I just bought one of your towers.....   

Yea I was thinking that he might be persuaded to do all that is needed but thought I'd put it out there so more would "talk" to him.

Yeah, Yoper - maybe it would be good once they get their pieces and molds together, perhaps we could ask them to price a set of their minis for the Struggle games - it looks like they have most of the types of units needed. . .

I asked FMG if they might do something like this back in February and this was his reply in a personal message to me:

I know Craig Yope has been working with them.  Once the pcs are ready I may contact them and make a special set for their game?

Thanks for the idea!

Cool - thanks BD - I think this is a great idea and I'm glad you and Yoper reached out to them.  Definately look forward to sync-ing up with them as they get things finalized.
