That is the right kind of price!
I might try harder to find someone who can do that for me here

Because so many of the ship types are too similar (to my admittedly weak eyesight, at least), I have decided to use some poker chips of various colors as bases for these ships. These poker chips are the same exact size and type as the white/grey, red, and green ones already included in the game.

Since we need to be able to tip the capital ships (battleships and aircraft carriers) onto their sides (to indicate when they are damaged), I don’t need to uses poker chip bases for them. That leaves the other four classes (cruisers; destroyers; subs; transports). Since I did not want for these chips to use any color that is already used by the game pieces (wither as chips or as units), that left me with purple, orange, yellow, and pink as my options.

So, I’ll be using purple for cruisers, orange for destroyers, yellow for submarines, and pink for transports.

Here is an image of the work in progress: my cruisers on purple poker-chip bases.

Greeting from the Philippines! (Me and my local tabletop organization started a small group of Axis and Allies players.) I just wanted to share the modifications I’ve made in Tabletop Simulator to play Global 1940 with as many quality of life features that I could stuff into it. The dream is to get a physical copy of the game once I figure out how to import both 1940 2nd ed. copies. If people are interested i can send the save files over Steam or even start a game if time permits.! If you guys can give any recommendations to better the simulation or on how to get a physical copy of G40 I’m open to try them out :D

The Western Aleutian Islands were supposed to be in Sea Zone 4.

Hi All,

If someone is interested, here 's our R&D set: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/owrasqpeass6a/R%26D.

These are materials for the Standard Global 1940/42 2nd edition rules and also for our simple houserule.

To speed things up we sometimes play a houserule. There the d12 board is used for along with a 12 sided die. Rule: at the beginning of every scond round (once a year) the player will roll a 12 sided dice for R&D w/o any payment. The player will gain the corresponding number in the R&D table as an ability at the end of that round. This is to give the player already the advantage during the buy phase, but not in the current attack (which he can prepare). Rolling a R&D number that you have already obtained is just though luck.

Let me know what you think, enjoy!

Had to bump this thread for research.
