After reading the threads, I figured maybe this way would be best to find an artist who can help. I’m looking for someone to help our monastery finish it’s customization of AA Global 40 and possible help, with what is necessary, on the pieces for Global War 1936…… the more intricate, the more monks like games like this. We have lots of pieces that are donated and pretty interesting. We would be more than willing to give the leftovers away. The “Ratte” Landkreuzer P. 1000 tank is my favorite. We have 3

Very nice! I like the concept of each player having a national “headquarters”.
A question: what are those beads on rod sthat look a bit like an abacus? Are they used to track something?
-
Yes, and even though each nation gets their own “area”, it is still very much a move around table.
Yes, it is an abacus, 4 of them to be exact. 2 at each end, 1 for attacker, 1 for defender, and 12 beads each to count casualties.

Been there, though it was to play WW2 Miniatures (Rules of Engagement).
It’s a very nice little setup the Young Grasshopper has going on there with surprisingly ample space to move around such a small(ish) room!

Thanks IWNGU, and I will definitely be showing off my ROE table here with a youtube video as well. It is a small room, but like you said… it’s incredible how comfortable it is moving around for such limited space.

Cozy, and very bunker-like. Great place YG. Especially love the beverage and food corner.

Very nice work YG! Just beautiful.
I have been planning a similar war table in my mind for a while now, just haven’t quite had the time - yet. I am curious, how did you create the custom map, with the battle board and charts built in, as a single board (hence no creases etc)? Would very much like to print out a similar board as I hate the creases of the OOB boards.
I assume you have a custom file on computer, but how/where do you print such a thing?
Would love to know a few secrets. :)

Sorry for the naive question, I found the thread I was looking for.
Was there ever a youtube video made?

No problem, I should get around to making the video this weekend, check back on this thread for an update early next week.
Cheers.

Table looks great. I am thinking of “borrowing” your idea of the casualty counter beads by my dice rolling corner.

They’re very popular, and constantly being used allowing our players to concentrate on casualty removal strategies instead of remembering who hit what. I made mine from scratch and it wasn’t easy, but if you put the work into it or can find some to buy complete… you won’t regret it.
