Im not talking about a digital Map, but a real one. I consider myself very artistically minded so I think I could do it without it looking too bad. What materials would I need, how much time would it take? I wanna do a global map from about 1920.
1940 Global table & painted pieces

Wow that’s pretty damn cool!
-
Excellent idea.
-
THAT is too cool for words! :lol:
-
Greatness…take the rest of the week off!
BTW, I think you’re in the Austin area, would love to play a global game sometime, me and my son +1

Thanks, I will submit my vacation request to my supervisors, LOL. And yes, I do live in the Austin area, Cedar Park to be exact. I have a few other military guys that  come over from time to time. I am sure we can work something out. I will be in touch.
-
Great idea!
-
jluna1273, that is awesome. And I thought my magnetic victory city flags were cool!
-
Damn you. Now I feel the overwhelming urge to do that with my topographical table …. argh.
-
I couldn’t resist. With the help of one of my boys, we have taken on the task of lighting up the Victory Cities. We found a two color LED that changes from red to green when you reverse the polarity. We then connected a toggle switch for each that will allow the color to be changed if you lose your city to the enemy. Each country will control the toggle switch for their respective cities. (Red for Axis, Green for Allies)
Wow – I think some new adjectives need to be invented to express the sheer coolness of this idea!
-
Thanks, Chief and everyone else, of course, for the comments.
-
Done with the toggle switch covers on the Axis side. The stain should be completely dry by tomorrow, so I can apply city labels above the switches. Allies have way more cities, and that begins tomorrow.
-
Im sure this table is going to be one of the great envys of A&A.org man! Pretty sweet!

Infinite Jester, just curious if you are the same person who sent me a message on FB back on July 3rd.

Working on Allied side to start running the wiring and lights.
-
When this gets finished we gotta see your table all set up. This is pretty innovative.
-
Yep, it took me awhile to figure out that you post here

Almost done. All I have left to do are the 5 cities belonging to the United Kingdom. The other 14 are complete.

Great progress! This project is an interesting reverse-twist on Churchill’s famous wartime remark that “the lights are going out all over Europe” – in this case, they’re coming on all over Europe (and the rest of the world too).

Guys,
@CWO:

––Pardon me for saying so but the pics look like the lights are Red making a lot of new “Red Light Districts” all over the world. I would have expected the “Great Gargantua” to have said this. Sorry, but I just couldn’t help myself. (GRIN)
