Operation Paintskrieg

@Pvt_Griff Thank you! Let me see when your done! Now just cointemplating buying a global game and getting BBR or something going. Daunting task for sure.

@Pvt_Griff you bet- looks awesome!!

ANZAC-ification!

This modular overlay for G40 Lite adds ANZAC as a potentially playable power, giving them three extra IPC to play with for a total of 10:

ANZAC roundels and a recolor for Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, and the Solomons. New Zealand boosted to 2 IPCs. Northern Territory boosted to 2 IPCs Western Australia boosted to 1 IPC

Analysis and initial thoughts on mechanics/impact:

Removes 7 IPCs from the UK income, reducing total purchasing power but focusing their colonial spend on India and S. Afr. Pulls any extant South Pacific UK units out of their control/turn, weakening them overall as they can no longer attack in concert. Forces some direct Australian investment by the Allies, while also… Limiting the direct Australian investment by the Allies to the ANZAC income— no more Bombers or fully loaded Carriers dropping into the South Pacific out of nowhere. Forces Japan and the Allies to pay some attention to the South Pacific, which could previously be ignored by both Japan and the UK by means of mutual neglect. Adds 3 IPCs to the board and to the Allies total income (more money is is fun!) while also siphoning it off into a new minor power, which have a greatly diluted effect on the game due to the principle of concentration of force.

I can’t stop remixing these - here’s an update with every version, including Lilly’s originals and my remixes + the Akagi sculpt from AA41:

@coedewa You mean something like this ?

@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

@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 😂
