Keeping the board(s) together

Wow, demo, something like that is usually pretty much a game-ender, that’s for sure.

What devastation!  Thanks for sharing.

also Afghanistan are spelled wrong, like Afganistan

Oh then your not that guy…

This guy named randyjohnwayne on ebay claims he has games with upwards of 20,000 pieces at one time. He sells hundreds of pieces for AA games and hoards the good ones. I chatted with him on the phone before and i got some incredible stories of 1 hour battles just to resolve one freaking battle!

And no i have no idea how his games get to this level of madness. I guess his playing group does not like combat unless they get thousands of pieces.

I would surely love to see a picture of these so called “Battles”

Sounds interesting, though my fighters stay OK on top of my carriers (others have mentioned having a problem, though).  I’ve been a bit interested in magnetic wargames since reading about the strips in the Avalon Hill catalog back in the day.  I’ve never done it (I like normal tabletop games just fine, including AA50), but I imagine it’d be pretty cool-looking to have a wall-mounted wargame with magnetic pieces.

Learning to differentiate the various ships took a little time;  I was tempted to mark them some way, too.  It doesn’t help that the German/Italian cruisers are so big (like battleships) with flat sterns (like destroyers), or that their transports don’t have cranes, but I think I have all the ships sorted now. And now that I’m used to all the pieces, I rather like them.

@cond1024:

I don’t know why it warped so bad, the only thing I can think is that I set it up on my kitchen table, which is next to a huge window
and the sun beat down on it all day long.  That is the only thing I could think, but only the pacific third warped really bad, the other two thirds was very minimal.

Wash and dry it.

no sorry. Ask Krieg.
