Hey everyone,
Sharing my global game now that i’ve spent a good amount of effort customizing it.
Custom Map:
I traced @Tjoek 's map in a website program called “inkarnate” and colored it myself. Then in Gimp I added roundels and labels to everything again using Tjoek’s roundels page for the base roundels. The map is just a tad larger than the OOB map as I unforuntly don’t have a huge space for the setup table. I really like the way it turned out visually as I love the more simple look. This was printed at 200dpi (a little low imo) from an online service in the US called Smartpress on .40 Styrene. It cost $150.00 shipped.

Custom Table:
Table is built out of 2x4’s and plywood. Nothing fancy just a big flat surface.
Custom Chart Board/magnetic roundels:
A small magnetic white board with my custom charts printed on vinyl applied to it. The magnetic roundels are my design as well and are 3d printed.

Battle Board:
3d printed base with a vinyl printed sticker on top designed by me. It incorperates the tech units and combined arms into it.
Money Chips:
These are just cheap chips from amazon and I use white for 1 green for 2 red for 5 and blue for 10. Way nicer in the hand than paper money.
Magnetic Units:
Small magnets 3x1mm glued to almost all planes (japan tac bombers needed the larger 3x2 because of the wheels) using ca glue and activator to set them up quickly. A lot of work to get them all done but very rewarding. Carriers got holes drilled and 3x2 magnets inserted as close to the surface of the deck as I could to get the planes to stick nicely to them.

Flight Stands:
These are made from 3mm thum nuts and 3mm acrylic rod. I designed a number of jigs for accurate cutting, gluing and magnet gluing to get them as cleanly done as possible. They have a 3x2mm magnet glued to the top.
Storage:
All of the unit storage boxes are custom designed to hold chips and roundels nicely. My original designs allowed for all of the bins to fit back in the game boxes but for ease of use I eneded up making more boxes/changing the shape so they no longer would go back into the game boxes.

Troop Placards/Placard Markers:
These are a 3d printed base with another label applied to them. I did crop/adjust the flags so they would all be the same dimensions and I took a lot of liberty with the Anzac one (AUS and NZ mashed up). The markers are the same flag just double sided and small enough to fit into territories nicely.

Facilities and Neutral Troops:
All of the facilities are of my design and are all 3d printed with a .2 nozzle. I did keep them small so they didn’t occupy too much board space. The neutral troops are nice as they blend into the space but still represent the troops in a tactile way.

Roundels:
These are just a simple 20mm circle 3d printed with a 19mm laminated sticker attached. These were punched with a “3/4 paper punch”. Very time consuming but the result is hard to argue with.
