The global game has a ton of playing pieces, but there’s always room for improvement. Like many people, we 3d printed air and naval bases. I’m curious what pieces others have cannibalized from other A&A editions. This is what we use:
Major Industrial Complex - White complexes from Classic Minor Industrial Complex - Grey complexes from Revised China Artillery - UK artillery from Revised (same color) China Flying Tigers - UK fighter from RevisedAbbreviations

YG was probably for poster Young Grasshopper.
A2 is probably ANZAC 2.

YG is one of the members young grasshopper

If you move to Rome, you need to learn Italian!

"Ya, no I dont intend on changing the shorthand, just gotta understand it & I’m trying. Most of it is an easy read, but some just throw me for a loop. & then there’s the “fat fingered” oops, that really get my head scratching. But thans for all the input & help & patience with a “newbie”. :-)
