It’s kinda hard to answer your question because it depends on how much you are willing to spend, do you want to play historically, do you only want to collect one type of fleet? I would say that it would be hard to win many games if you go German and then play against someone who is bringing an American fleet. I say this because the Germans (and let’s add the Italians, French, Australian, and even to some extent the British) are so underpowered in the way of air power that I think you would lose every time. If you play historically and avoid any kind of cheesy fleet combinations…well, you might have a chance. In my opinion, and that’s all it is, you’d be hard pressed to beat an American fleet in a 150pt or higher game. At that point level you can bring a battleship, two carriers and enough planes to destroy whatever your opponent is bringing…only a Japanese fleet with multiple Yamatos might stand a chance against an equal point American fleet. Let’s say you collect only a German fleet…how would you stop my air power? I’d have all your ships sunk before you made it within striking distance. Maybe I’m full of crap, but, I’d say go American if you want the most balance and options. Maybe the second set of WaS will have more air support for the Germans and the other Axis powers (Japan not included) but as it stands now…they’d get crushed. I don’t think that would be much fun for you.

I got a line on a company that will make me matboard or styrene 3" hexes. I flock them and mount them on 1/2" foam core board. Im thinking of selling them. Just checking if there is any intrest in something like this. The base map will be flocked green hexes. Then individual hexes could be customized with terrain and dropped on the map wherever you want, so you could change the layout between games. what do you all think? Im just trying to get an idea if this is worth it before I buy a custom die.

I think its a neat idea just because I’m a map nut! However I’ve been home build such things already.

Honestly, I have definitely been looking for something like this. But I’m not sure if you’re talking about the same thing as me; could you possibly provide a link that shows the finished product?
