Setup complete. Plating against chatgpt now and it made some horrific mistakes. My Italian navy destroyed the British Mediterranean fleet in turn 1 😂
1940 Global table & painted pieces
-
OK, so last little touch on the table. We found some camo material and used Velcro to go around the table with it.
Good idea. You could use the underside of the table as a concealed storage area (for game boxes and so forth), since it’s covered by the camo material.
-
Yes sir, that’s the plan. I’m all about concealment.

Working on the US fleet, Chinese infantry, and German desert/woodland patterns.
-
It’s a nice touch to have individually numbered carriers.
-
I received my Marines from HBG and I am so happy with these pieces, they will go perfect with this Global table and my Pacific operations. I should have the Corsairs done this weekend.
-
Here are some more painted pieces.
-
I am keeping the base white in order to help the neutrals stand out even more.
-
They’re really good!
-
Thanks, Lozmoid.

amazing work man

I couldn’t resist. With the help of one of my boys, we have taken on the task of lighting up the Victory Cities. We found a two color LED that changes from red to green when you reverse the polarity. We then connected a toggle switch for each that will allow the color to be changed if you lose your city to the enemy. Each country will control the toggle switch for their respective cities. (Red for Axis, Green for Allies)
The five Axis cities are wired and lit. Just need to complete the covers to the toggle switches. We only had enough to do one more, so we chose to light up Paris, France. More switches were ordered at a parts store called Altex. The remaining lights are on order from Fry’s Electronics. I will post more pics once all the Allied Victory Cities are lit up as well.

Wow that’s pretty damn cool!
-
Excellent idea.

Thanks, I will submit my vacation request to my supervisors, LOL. And yes, I do live in the Austin area, Cedar Park to be exact. I have a few other military guys that  come over from time to time. I am sure we can work something out. I will be in touch.
-
Great idea!
-
jluna1273, that is awesome. And I thought my magnetic victory city flags were cool!
-
Damn you. Now I feel the overwhelming urge to do that with my topographical table …. argh.

Wow – I think some new adjectives need to be invented to express the sheer coolness of this idea!
