Thank you for sending the map to my printer. I have been testing scenarios out with my A&A using my 1942 second edition. I just have been using sticky note paper to mark my Italian territories. I used the game pieces from my anniversary addition for the Italian pieces. I also added have tracks: cost is IPC 5. Attack 2, defend 2 as tanks cost 6 IPC in this version. Its nice to spend 5 IPC on an actual unit other than an AA gun. No artillery bonus on half track in this version
I also added the recruitment center from zombies.
Please see the chart below

My Axis & Allies 1942 Room…
-
Very nice room. I just showed the pics to my wife and said when we have the room I would love to do something like this. Job well done.
-
OK I ordered the 48 star flag on ebay - salute!
I’m kind of embarrassed to answer questions about my game pieces - I admit they are sort of a Frankenstein assortment right now. I ordered the artillery, destroyers, and cruisers from historicalboardgaming.com - very good source and fast service. But my cruisers are actually short battleships from the “Attack” game. They were like 5 cents each. Then when I got them they were molded really low to the table - I couldn’t pick them up with my fingers. So I melted a small finish nail into each of them for a “mast” and spray painted them. The destroyers looked too much like battleships to me- the same length and all, so I clipped them shorter. I didn’t like the way the German 88 artillery looked on the board - it just seemed like they should be AT guns - so I ordered all the same kind of standard looking artillery pieces and painted them five different colors. Works for us but I’ll probably upgrade someday.

Empireman,
Yes, those are the FMG Italian Rifle Infantry. I don’t have a “finished” shot yet, but here’s a pic, below.
My appologies to Der Kuenstler for answering a question on your thread.

That game room looks amazing. It makes me want to come over to your house and play A&A. Great job!

Well done, I love seeing how crazy other people get with this game! Gives me hope for my own sanity to see I’m not the craziest, lol.
-
This is amazing. Your buddies are lucky to have you! And congratz on keeping your wife on the good side…

Saw the room and this instantly “came” to me… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLnWf1sQkjY

LOL :-D….OK - update -I fixed the US Flag - now it is historical…
I added convoy raiding zones to my map….
And added a WWII Fighter display - 1:48 scale….
-
Ok we need more pics of the map + etc, well actually how you modified my file. I like what you did and need more pics to get a good impression.
-
Hi IL - The convoy symbols are actually stickers I made in Photo Express and printed off - I don’t have the software to modify the map itself.
I’m still testing the system - if it doesn’t work well the stickers can be peeled off without hurting the map. The numbers on the symbols represent the maximum economic damage that can be done in the zone. I’ll get more pics up…
-
DK,
GREAT JOB! And I think the 48-star flag is a nice touch!

get us a file for these decals so others can use them too…
-
Here are the basic symbols - I left the numbers off so you can add your own. I left a blank too if you want to add Italy or something later.
-
OK can you resave this in PNG. format extension? Jpegs are just ruined when you expand them.
-
Pinged…. :-D
