Finding a Game board

Hi, hope this can be find useful.
You have all the set-up for 1941 and 1942 scenarii.
Here is 1941 Set-up for Japan:

Japan Starting income: 17 IPCs
Okinawa: 1 Infantry
Manchuria: 3 Infantry, 1 Fighter
Japan: 4 Infantry, 1 Artillery, 1 AAA, 1 Tank, 1 Fighter, Industrial Complex
Iwo Jima: 1 Infantry
Caroline Islands: 3 Infantry
Formosa: 1 Fighter
French Indo-China/Thailand: 3 Infantry
Kiangsu: 3 Infantry

NAVAL SETUP:
Sea Zone 51: 1 Destroyer, 2 Transports
Sea Zone 57: 2 Aircraft Carriers, 4 Fighters
Sea Zone 61: 1 Aircraft Carrier with 2 Fighters, 1 Battleship, 1 Cruiser, 1 Transport with 1 Infantry & 1 Artillery, 1 Transport with 2 Infantry
Sea Zone 62: 1 Transport

1942 Japanese scenario:

Japan Starting income: 31 IPCs
Okinawa: 1 Infantry
Manchuria: 2 Infantry, 1 Fighter
Japan: 4 Infantry, 1 Artillery, 1 AAA, 1 Tank, 1 Fighter, 1 Bomber, Industrial Complex
Iwo Jima: 1 Infantry
Caroline Islands: 1 Infantry
Formosa: 1 Fighter
French Indo-China/Thailand: 2 Infantry, 1 Fighter
Kiangsu: 3 Infantry
Wake Island: 1 Infantry, 1 Control Marker
Solomon Islands: 1 Infantry, 1 Control Marker
New Guinea: 1 Infantry, 1 Control Marker
Philippine Islands: 2 Infantry, 1 Control Marker
Borneo: 1 Infantry, 1 Control Marker
East Indies: 1 Infantry, 1 Control Marker
Burma: 1 Infantry, 1 Control Marker
Kwangtung: 1 Infantry, 1 Control Marker

NAVAL SETUP:
Sea Zone 38: 1 Aircraft Carrier with 2 Fighters, 1 Battleship
Sea Zone 46: 1 Submarine
Sea Zone 50: 1 Cruiser
Sea Zone 51: 1 Aircraft Carrier with 1 Fighter, 1 Destroyer
Sea Zone 62: 1 Battleship, 1 Transport

You have to wait until the Collect Income phase.

what are “the strait rules from G40?”

If one side play very aggressive and makes a do-or-die strategy, its often over after 4-6 hours. But if both are playing conservative, you often play at least 10 hours. After 10 hours, when our wifes are calling freneticly, we often decide together who would be ah probable winner, by the overall positions on the table.

Bought mine a month ago for 82 bux off of amazon, guess i got lucky

@Sime:

I recently upgraded to a bigger board, but before that I was thinking about using those thin business card sized fridge magnets (the kind that some businesses give away for free) to hold the board in place.  I was going to cut 6 of them in half and glue them to the back of the boards like in this diagram (the black rectangles are the magnet halves in case it wasn’t obvious).

I was then going to use 6 more (uncut) magnets as joiners, connecting the boards.

I think would help stop warping at the edges where the magnets are so you can easily slide navies or armies over those sections without having to pick up the navies/armies and place them on the other side of the edge.

Although I didn’t have a pretty picture, I had essentially the same idea.

I’m not exactly sure how refrigerator magnets work, but in general when you break a magnet with a north and south pole into two pieces you get two new magnets (each with their own north and south pole). This is because there are no magnetic monopoles as a result of one of Maxwell’s equations $\nabla\cdot\vec{B}=0$. If refrigerator magnets work like this, then only half of each magnet that is cut in half will be attracted to the un-cut magnet holding the board together; the other half will repel. However, I don’t think this is how refrigerator magnets work. I think they’re made up of a bunch of little dipoles and your idea should work fine. However, might a rigid, thin strip of a ferromagnetic metal such as iron or steel serve as a better spine(s)?

@captainjack:

Could you take a picture of the IPC’s - I’ve heard they look cool.

I’ve uploaded one to BoardGameGeek.

That is another good option. Seems we agree with USA and UK should not be played by the same player  :-)
