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.

Hello Axis And Allies fans. Quick question. I was looking for the pieces that symbolize generals , admirals and commanders. I know they exist bit I am having trouble finding them. Does anyone have a link to the site to purchase them? Thank you

I’ve found these, but they’re located in Poland I believe;
https://www.super-hobby.com/products/The-Generals-of-WW-II.htmlHBG has these (though they’re all the same model);
https://www.historicalboardgaming.com/Commanders-Global-War-1936-Expansion_p_2969.htmlAny 1:72 model kit should work if you can find one with the commander figures you want.
