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.
New Major Complex pieces!

Thank you very much for the replies guys. Do we have any idea what the HBG pieces will look like at this point?
Thanks again!
There is a picture, if you go to their website. It looks really cool. I would give you a link, but I never learned how to do links on a computer.
Maybe someone can be kind enough to provide you a link or just go to the website and look under battle pieces, I believe, at Historical Board Gaming.
Good luck! :-)

Found the picture John.
I do know how to add a link, but I guess I don’t have authorization at this point to add it in the forums.
Your right it looks very cool.
Thanks Again,
Jon

Once you reach a certain number of forum posts (I think it’s 10), you’ll be able to post pictures via the “Additional Options” feature below the typing window.

Thanks Paul for the links! This will give him another option to look at. :-)

And,
––Just to be complete,…here’s some pics of the ‘Risk Factory’ from the 2008 version of the RISK game. I have several of these that I had originally planned on using for Minor Factories,….but since I’ve gotten the HBG (Shapeways) Minor Factory versions to use for these,…I guess I’ll just use them as Research Centers,….or possibly sell them.

Thank you Paul. These all look very cool. Looks like I have a few options.
