Axis and Allies has a scale problem, which is the nature of the beast when you try to put ww2 in a box.

A turn is supposed to represent several months, and in a single turn A bomber can fly from the UK and hit the Mediterranean sea sinking infinity transports

I do enjoy creative use of plans and figuring out weird flight paths, but it does give air power an insane ability.

historically/thematically, air power was more powerful when the bases were closer to the fight. (why fighters defend better than they attack) So could we have a feature where air power is reduced at greater ranges?

Some ides I have,
1)
Air Power uses 1 movement every time they don’t retreat. (let plains retreat, individually & separately whenever they want) my favourite but tricky to track
2)
Air power only stays for 1 or 2 rounds of combat unless they are adjacent
3)
Air power’s attack is reduced to the remaining movement the plains individually have

I’d like to see if there are other rules like this but i did not find them

@ScottMcCullar would it be possible, would I be too rude in asking, if you would consider sharing a pdf or jpeg of each of the icons you created in order to make this?
Thanks for any assistance.

@barnee I love that joke, had me laughing.

@Titus Awesome, I’m always looking for new tools and shortcuts.

@the-captain they are water slide decals.

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:

Anzac defender,

––Keep up the good work.
----I don’t know if you’re interested, but there is a company called I-94 Enterprises that make many, many decals that are useful for our A&A units.
