Global Gaming Table

And actually, here’s a supplementary idea. Since the I.D. charts contain a silhouette for every nation-specific sculpt, what you could do is produce a nation-specific version of this chart for all of the player powers, with the name and symbol of each power added at the top. The textual data would remain the same in every chart; all you’d need to do is is replace the unit images.

I have been thinking about adding oil resource locations and railway lines

From our mod
USA 182.657mt* (1 Western United States, 2 Central United States, 3 Eastern United States) USSR 29.700mt (4 Caucasus, 5 Soviet Far East) Venezuela 27.443mt (6 Venezuela) Iran 10.426mt (7 Persia, 8 Northwest Persia)
Dutch East Indies 7.939mt (9 Sumatra, 10 Java, 11 Celebes, 12 Dutch New Guinea) México 6.721 mt (13 Southeast Mexico) Romania 5.764mt (14 Romania) Colombia 3.636mt (15 Colombia) Iraq 3.438mt (16 Iraq) Argentina 2.871mt (17 Argentina) Trinidad 2.844mt (18 West Indias) Perú 1.776mt (19 Perú) Arabian Peninsula 1.652mt (20 Saudi Arabia) Burma 1.088mt (21 Burma) Canadá 1.082mt (22 Alberta Saskatchewan Manitoba) Borneo 0.932mt (23 Borneo) Egypt 0.929mt (24 Alexandria) China 0.050mt (25 Yunnan*)
*All Valor’s are in Millions of Metric tons, for the production of the year 1940, and not contemplate synthetic oil production.
*We considered only locations with production over 0.900mt, for total production of 1940, but allowed Yunnan for valance.

Is this in MS Excel? If so, can you share the file?

Sorry it’s not in Excel.

@118karate:

Okay so quick question about tables I have both HBG games -939 and 1936 and I’m thinking of building a table that would fit them and fit 1940 global but I don’t know how any ideas appreciated send them my way thanks!

Several customized A&A tables can be seen in this thread:

Another awesome video, YG.

yes, i know.�  I used to paint small pewter figures for a different game (it’s a D&D nerd here) and because I enjoyed painting them so it might definitely be up next.

I’ve played D&D as well. We are all nerds here, LOL! :-D

Speak for yourself… I’m a geek (which are a lot cooler than nerds).

Great looking table. I like the idea of having enough room to move around the countries based on the game you are playing. Two thumbs up!

@ozimek1:

You could have painted at the borders, IPC values, territory names etc. on the glass. That way you could easily use the 3D map for different games by changing the glass overlay :)

I think that having different sheets of painted glass for different games would be an expensive proposition.  I don’t know how much Rorschach’s setup cost him, but the acrylic sheet which covers my own AA50 table set me back over a hundred bucks.

Yeah, I originally was going to etch all the borders onto the acrylic, but when you’re looking at $50 (give or take) per sheet for this size it would be far too expensive.  But, to be honest, the sheet is so close to the table anyway there is absolutely no mistaking the territories, so it’s all good.

And this way, if we want to play a different game, we just pop in a flat MDF panel underneath instead of the AA50 board and you’re good to go!

The entire table (not counting countless hours of time) cost me about $150 … still no legs on it though.

And, Jeremy and I finally finished our game.  17 rounds, 9 weeks (about an hour and a quarter, hour and a half a week) … Allied Victory when the Brits waltzed into a sparsely defended Berlin.
