Next set of Custom Roundels

Greeting and salutations! I have recently created overlays for HBGs Global 1936 map that represent the political borders of 1861. I am aware that several years ago now HBG worked on a Global 1861 game. However as far as I can tell, HBGs Global 1861 project seems to have been shelved. Myself being a firm believer in the versatility of the Axis and Allies game mechanics have thus decided to create my own Global 1861 scenario. While further testing is still required and new political and possibly unit rules still have to be written. I am confident I can eventually create a comprehensive Global 1861 game. Although I feel I must apologize in advance if this project takes a long while as I tend to jump from project to project quite spastically, any help and or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Here are some of my pics from my custom Axis and Allies map for a higher IPC game with some zone changes. I wanted to change up the Pacific snce I’ve always thought that the battles between the USA and Japan were always way too early and that the USA and Japan were too close to each other.
I;m not completely done, and I drew it freehand so sorry if it is not pretty, but there you have it. IMG_20200401_121009.jpg

No apologies needed! FMG has been a great help in carrying the product and getting it to folks like you. They need to be thanked too! Glad you asked about the rules and let us know what you think.

lol my storage boxes get setup for the new HBG pieces as soon as they are ancounced.

The website says:
“They will be done in 2 colors, Burnt orange to match the Out of Box color and Yellow Gold for veteran pieces.”
I would like to see a third color if possible – ROSE for Siam/Thailand units.

If you’re going for Amerika Bombers, why not also consider the HE277, JU-390 (ooo, six engined), or the TA-400.  Also, the HE-274 would be appropriate.

Yes I have seen Coachofmany’s site and intend to purchase roundels, but I wanted to try painting myself. So Primers a must huh? Well then guess I need that. And Coachofmany, if your reading, could you be generous enough to share your technique? Its fine if you dont, but even just a tip would be welcomed.
