the board with unit trays in place

[builder_chris2]

both sides of the board with unit trays pushed in (under the board) so peeps have room to put elbows and food and stuff. and to work on their purchases ahead of time out from the prying eyes of the enemy.

a close look at a unit tray (Russians - all trays are the same - of course)

[builder_chris2]

a close look at the UK Pacific unit tray and tweaked half of the map.

I’ve observed players since this game came out, new and veteran players alike have been doing the same thing from day one this game was released - they get confused on UK Europe IPC income and UK Pacific IPC income - so I put stickers on the map and made Canada roundels into UK Euro roundels and all UK Pack roundels I stuck with a union jack, the same roundel sent with the game to track their separate income.  it works great and there is nerve a question now when new players sit down to the table where the income for UK Pac is coming from.

air base and navy base tokens we use, got rid of those cheap ass thin cardboard crap things that come with the game and replaced them with cool etched ones that are small, easy to see and easy to pick up.  got them from Litko Games, just Google Litko.  they have tons of cool stuff like this for aa and other games.
and the ICs with the 3 and the 10 and the city landscape on them are just the old ICs from previous games that I took and stuck labels on that I created using a “bothers P-touch” labeler that I picked up from office depot, its already got the city scape label option built into it ant I just reduced the font until it aligned onto the IC piece the way I wanted it to.

simple and (imo ) looks cool and is way better than those dumb cardboard things.  anyway, that’s a look at what we use for those pieces.

[builder_chris2]

and here is the entire board with all the pieces in place and a shot of the unit trays with the pocker IPC chip in the unit trays.  we use these for our IPCs cuss they work really good and are fun to click together while thinking while waiting for your next turn.

a closer look at the pacific and Europe half of the boards with pieces in place

[builder_chris2]

a look at table #3 (under construction) - the HUGE board

this table will someday be similar to table 1, just HUGE.  right now its still a work in progress.

[builder_chris2]

and two close up looks at the huge map, to see how much room is on this map for the pieces.

You gotta include at least one ‘action’ shot. I did find one with both tables 1 & 3. And I do prefer the big table, everything else feels cramped by comparison.

We’re pretty lucky in that one of the devoted members of our little group is an office manager for some office suites. So there’s always some empty office that’s open for us to game in. I tried finding a group shot and I think the last one was back in March of last year. Oh and we have 1914 as well, so stop by if you ever swing through Denver.
