My custom Battle Board

[ScottMcCullar]

Just received my custom Battle Board that I had printed to go along with the upcoming giant 1940 Global map that I pre-ordered. Inspired by the original vintage game from 1984 with the design of the original battle board, I just wanted to pay homage to that original design where this now includes expansion pieces for my own AXIS & ALLIES game at home with my son using house rules and third-party pieces (mostly from Historical Board Gaming). This custom board measures 14" x 14".

Thought I’d share this as I thought some might like to see.

I’m a graphic designer and illustrator. I put this together myself using mainly Adobe Illustrator and some Photoshop when I needed to create some of the silhouette icons. Some were borrowed from the actual game’s images for the units.

@ScottMcCullar Where may I find the file or purchase a board please?

Quite nice.
Couple questions, if you’re willing.

1. Where did you order this from once you sent them the PDF image to print?
2. Where did you get the silhouettes you used to make the images in each of the hit number categories?
   I am particularly interested in finding the various silhouettes you used. Please share that if you’re willing.
   Thanks,
   Chris

I think @ScottMcCullar created a lot of that board in Adobe Illustrator. I am about to undertake a similar project for my Anniversary Game setup. Happy to share when I am done.

@ScottMcCullar Where did you get the foldable backing ?
