Do you know DTROY?

This started out as a stencil that I will be spray painting on a dice arena felt. Anyway … I am rethinking the medium and my have it printed … I wanted the colors to match the standard hit dice.

I also updated some of the silhouettes.

I’ll be updating this through completion … and of course I can share w anyone interested.

Reserving this post for setups.

Hi @Lilkovski, welcome to the forum!

Thanks for posting these, your carriers look great! I will give them a try and post some results. Posting a blank template is always helpful for others who want to remix or continue the work.

There have been many carrier flight deck decal discussions here over the years, some of them containing artwork that is free for personal use and most of which is probably able to be relatively quickly reworked in GIMP etc. to arrive at blank templates, although the dimensions of these is always a topic for conversation and disagreement as the sculpts vary sometimes significantly from the actual historical ships.

Here’s a popular flight deck thread from @dedo from years ago with discussion, artwork, templates, and resources that you or others might find useful; additionally here’s @cyanight’s well-known carrier decal thread with some of his decals about halfway down the first page.

I actually used a still a third(!) image file/source for my own flight deck decals, but I am not going to post that source until I find where it came from so that I can confirm public use and give proper attribution.

Happy decaling!

…the french one is a joke lol

Hey, you never know :)

@The-Captain
I used 3mm thumb nuts drilled out to fit 3mm acrylic rods. I used a number of 3d printed jigs for cutting the rods, assembly of the stands and gluing the magnets. If I remember later I’ll attached some pictures of the jigs/stands

I think @ScottMcCullar created a lot of that board in Adobe Illustrator. I am about to undertake a similar project for my Anniversary Game setup. Happy to share when I am done.

@ScottMcCullar Where did you get the foldable backing ?

Alright, my first draft map for an AA50 1940 + France Setup (v0.6) is ready to rock. G40 Lite, anybody?

Becuase this is a whole new kettle of fish I will split this one off into it’s own thread for further discussion, new rules, setup charts (oof), and of course playtesting/refinement. The idea was born and first discussed here, however, so I’ll leave the inital release preview and the link to v0.6 below.

Details for v0.6:

The French Empire, c. ~spring 1940:

France proper split into Northern (capital) and Southern (becomes Vichy) France Six discrete French African colonies and protectorates
– Morocco
– Algeria
– French West, Central, and Equatorial Africa (which gets RC and becomes capital of Free France)
– Madagascar Syria (maybe relevant with pro-axis Iraq next door?) French Indochina (Frenchified; remains ahistorically merged with Thailand; no game-reason to split them) French Guiana (maybe relevant now that we have a VC-posessing pro-allied Brazil?) New Caledonia in the South Pacific …mostly for flavor/possible IPC balance

Lots of other changes to create viable 1940 setup:

Addition of Albania Addition of British Guinana (Suriname) Splitting Iraq (2, pro-Axis) off from Trans-Jordan (0, UK) IPC-ifying of many “True” (or game-functionally true) Neutrals:
– Sweden
– Turkey
– Saudi Arabia
– Spain
– Argentina Chile
– Afganistan
– South American amalgamations
– Angola
– Mozambique De-possessifying of various “Aligned” Neutrals:
– Finland (pro-axis)
– Romania Bulgaria (pro-axis)
– Iraq (pro-axis)
– Brazil (pro-allies; drops to 2 IPC, a Neutral VC? Whaaat?)
– Yugoslavia (pro-allies) (no more “Balkans”)
– Greece (pro-allies)
– Persia (pro-allies)
– Eire (pro-allies)

And finally, some unrelated changes that potentially improve any AA50 setup (and therefore actually belong in this thread):

In China, split off “Jehol” (1, Japan-occupied, China Roundel) from Manchuria (3) Addition of “Impassible” to a few important regions:
– Sahara
– Himalaya
– Mongolia (functionally)
– Switzerland (functionally) …and probably many other changes I’ve forgotten.

Below are a couple preview images as well as the link to the full file.

For fun, here’s a look at all of the changes that have gone into this version of the map!

I know this is quite old, but I would love an SVG file of the map at a decently high quality (high enough to distinguish roundels and text). If needed, you can email it to me.
