@Pvt_Griff Thank you! Let me see when your done! Now just cointemplating buying a global game and getting BBR or something going. Daunting task for sure.
Global Gaming Table

@Brain:
I thought that would be in issue, but I can see the whole board sitting in my chair without having to stand up. It looks deeper than what it actually is. plus one of the points to the whole project was to be able to keep the seperate boards togethor witout clipping them, taping, etc.
Also you could cover it with plexiglass in the middle of a stopped game leaving all the pieces in place while using the table for another function.
Jinx. :-P

actually, the plexiglass will be directly on the board. I hate creases when i’m playing. plus it will keep the gameboard from shifting. the plexiglass is about $60 for the size i got. you could just get another 5x8 piece of wood and cover it also, that would be cheaper
$$how much??$$
the whole thing cost me about $150 so far with the plexiglass.

If you made a couple more and sold them you could recover your costs.

Nice me and my one buddy plan on building a table for global in woodshop next school year. We are currently thinking of taking a standard table plan and modifing it to fit what we want. I like the recessed board area. I will have to show him that because with a huge hardwood table(our building material in woodshop) it will be a little heavy. It would be nice to be able to use it as a dinning room table too. Nice table, again.

Nice table, again
thank you

i couldnt even imagine how much it would cost to ship one of them, it is HEAVY

What’s the symbol between Germany and China though?][/[/quote]
its the Union Jack (difficult to burn into wood). we wanted an additional roundel to make it look more balanced. thats why the canadian roundel was used. the french and italian are the same thing
I guess it’s too late now, but you could have used the SEAC roundel?

SEAC roundel
i dont even know what that is. Plus, the Union Jack was used in AAP

Epic awesomeness, It has been a long time since me and my dad used to make forts for G.I. Joes when I was younger; this reminds me because one of the forts had a similar recessed design with towers at the four corners. Again dude, that is amazing.

I thought somebody asked, but are you going to be providing the dimensions that you used to build the board?

Very nice. I’ve been working on one for AA50 myself (with a fancy new gameboard to go with it … I’ll reveal that when I’m done ;)), but this gives me a few ideas to modify mine with. lol.
