I have had a 3D printer hobbyist CAD design a new BB playing piece and a new DD playing piece.
The BB is based on the WW1 UK Iron Duke modified for appearance. It is, certainly, better looking than the original BB design. Additionally, I (we) used a depiction of a WW1 US 4 stacker DD to make a modified DD playing piece for A&A WW1. The rationale that the Sub replaces the need for a DD just doesn’t ‘cut it’ (make sense). Most of the colour filaments used to 3D print these units are a good match to the original playing piece colours. I will post pictures of these as I have assistance doing so.
Pieces of World in War for A&A Global

Hello, if you are looking for pieces for light tanks, costal submarines, and artillery of any type look for those of world in war.
Models are Panzer 35t, O-type sub. and 88mm Artillery, they are a sise compatible.
And those are to little to use, at last for my taste.
Now, the game have a good easy fast system and a clever combat mechanic, i recomen to use Axis and Allies pieces and chips, instad of the oob pieces, to little for play with children and to little for man/woman with big hands.Company no longer open, so game no longer in print, so original pieces are to hard to reemplace. This game come to CR, in a warehouse used stuff imports, and only 2 plastic pieces are lost from 360, not bad for a 2004 used game :)

Oh no not this game…

Would you care to expand your thoughts on the matter? As a source of new units for A&A I agree they don’t pass muster. As a new idea on how to fight a WW2 combat game (with the casualty / attack battle board idea) I think they might be on to something.

Sure. Bought 4 copies and played this “thing” Its a fast playing game, but the combat system is too random from what i remember and the map sucked. I basically threw out my copies in trash, gave away a few.
Never again

@Imperious-Leader Thanks for your advice. I’ll keep that in mind if I ever get a copy to table.
Sincerely,

@Midnight_Reaper well, i use the 3 pieces of the first image, they serve me well, for that they are.
Now, the system and the mechanics of the game are made for a fast gameplay, and map and combat are more a -ww2 in europe- theme or abstraction, instant of a true 100% historical simulation.
Yes, random dice can by a problem some times, but rock-paper-scissors system can minimice the dice factor. And there are some post-production official optional rules and ideas, i find in the forums, to engance gameplay.
Wen i playtest all options, i can put here, if you want to know, my full opinion on the game.
