Do you know DTROY?

@Pvt_Griff the metal prints are just full sheet labels I printed and laminated then applied to sheet metal. I designed the magnetic roundels myself to fit 6x2 mm magnets.

@Pvt_Griff you bet- looks awesome!!

aaaaaand one more: the great, the impossible, the terrifyingly and impractically over-gunned Project Kostromitinov! These pieces were included in AA41, and are largest A&A sculpts in any edition of the game, ever. Let’s get one on the table!

Time for another goofy house rule.

Проект Костромитинов
If the copy of the game being played includes the Kostromitinov sculpt as the Soviet Aircraft Carrier, and if Karelia is USSR-controlled, then after each COLLECT INCOME phase of the USSR turn that player may set aside 6 IPCs. If he does, place one Kostromitinov Heavy Carrier on its side (under construction) in Karelia (not in the adjacent Sea Zone). Only one such carrier may be under construction at a time. As long as it is under construction, this piece remains on the board in Karelia (even if captured) and has no effect on the game.

Each turn that ends with Karelia under USSR control the USSR player may set aside a further 6 IPCs. When 18 IPCs have been set aside in this way, immediately launch the completed Kostromitinov from Karelia into the adjacent Sea Zone.

The Kostromitinov Heavy Carrier has the following stats: A2/D3/M2. Requires 2 Hits to Destroy. May carry up to 3 fighters/tactical bombers in any combination.

@Pvt_Griff Thank you

Setup complete. Plating against chatgpt now and it made some horrific mistakes. My Italian navy destroyed the British Mediterranean fleet in turn 1 😂

Germany/Poland/East Poland geography improvement - border connections remain the same but territories and cities are much closer to actual locations.

I remember that this isn’t a fie that can be shared. He basically took an actual map and added decals and created the areas with markers. So its a “one off” map.

I plan on printing some out from Siredblood’s link.  I watched his video and you can certainly do it that way.  My only concern with adhesive backed “stickers” is that with all the handling of game pieces, I can imagine that the stickers begin to peel up after a while. If you’re going to use the adhesive backed stickers, might I recommend to apply thin CA glue around the outside edge of the sticker after you’ve burnished it down on the carrier deck.  You can get some thin CA at your local hobby shop where they sell RC planes, or just order it online.  Because it is literally as thin as water, you’ll need to apply it with some sort of makeshift precision applicator.  But after that, you won’t have to deal with annoying stickers that don’t want to stay down tight.

Also, if you use a glossy type sticker paper, after you’ve applied it and the carrier is “all done”, spray the entire piece with a light coat of Testor’s Dullcote spray laquer.  You’ll get rid of the sheen both on the plastic and from the glossy paper. All the colors will “blend” together and the piece will look much better.  :wink:
