Bigger game board

[AA]

I know you have numbered markers to help save space but even so it seems as though there isn’t enough room for everything. My men in London are in the water because there are so many of them…

Does any one know if you can get larger game boards for A&A that are identical in every other way? I’d say I need a board at least 50% bigger.

Thanks.

Gamer’s Paradise sells some so do a number of other companies.  Think we have an artist on the boards that makes larger custom maps as well.

Bear in mind these are vinyl and/or plastic maps usually, not rigid boards like in the original games.

Most of that stuff is home done. There are some great pics at Boardgamegeek of some of them. There is one has to 6 feet wide. Pretty.

Were you thinking something like that? Sure is cool. Probably expensive too.

I bought the last 50 copies of the 2nd edition map they made for expansion #3

If you want a larger map download the one i posted under boardgamegeek.com (2004 axis and allies)

That is not my board. Those are pics I found on Boardgamegeek website. I’ve been trying to find the ones from this club in Denmark. They have a board that big and all the pieces are painted it is very nice. I think the link is in an old thread here about bigger boards. There was also a pic there of a pretty girl playing.

I think both Imperious Leader and Rune Blade have custom/oversized boards available.

Click on their name on any post they make in these forums, and I think their websites where they sell such things are marked as their Home Page on their profiles.

Hi Imperious Leader,

Can you give me a specific link as I can’t seem to find the downloadable board on boardgamegeek that you mentioned.

Thanks.

Thanks - just downloaded it.
I might see how much it is if I take this into a printer and run off a large copy…

I heard (from above) that you make your own boards. I checked out your site (very quickly) but couldn’t see too much information.
Are you able to email me more info (or post it on this therad)?
Are the boards printed on a hard back?

Thanks.

If you’re referring to the avvie, I believe that picture is of Ricardo Montalban, the actor that played Khan Noonian Singh on “Star Trek”.

Actually it is Ricardo AS Khan.

He REALLY should have won Best Supporting Actor oscar that year…

Hmmm….I have just realised that the National Procudtion chart only goes up to $63 and I am currently at $56…

I got a quote today at a printer to enlarge my board to about 1.5m x 1m provided I give them a high resolution graphic. The cost would be $330 for it to be printed on vinyl sheet and stuck onto a 5mm cardboard backing. This price would include laminating and even though the result would be great it sounds a little expensive…

I have a custom board I am selling.  The Actual game board is 53 inches by 31.  Check out my post.

Yes it is custom, so the price is a hefty one.  Only for those with hefty wallets.

I will have it posted tonight.
