I will look into GIMP as well. Thank you for the input. My schedule filled up quickly so I lost most of what I thought would be free time to paint and customize a map, but I am still working to do both

I downloaded inkscape and it looks like once I figure out how to use it, it should serve my purposes. Thanks guys for the help. Hopefully in due time I will have a cool map to share

Hey axis and allies community. I was looking at playing around with creating my own custom map. I wanted to used Imperious Leaders G1940 map as a template (see the attached link). I currently have paint as an editing program but can’t seem to convert the file. So the first question I have is, should I be using paint as a program, and if so can someone try their luck at converting it, or just tell me I am being dumb and what I did wrong? If paint is not a good option, what recommendations do people have? Thanks guys

If you aren’t dead set on metal Litko mini flight stands are great. Mine just came in and look awesome.

Oh I was not aware of the solution. Thank you guys I will look into those options for other units in the game

I have thought about decals for naval vessels and potentially armor. For this fighter I figured painting was easy enough. I might need to look into them for more stuff though. Any recommended sites for them?

The first of what will be many painted units. Any suggestions other than get better at detail by painting more? Between the flight stands, bigger board, new units from HBG, and now paint, I think I am set for a little while. That is until one of you posts something else I “absolutely must have”

Ok. Sorry that was so uneventful. I figured I would try to change it up and sea lion

In either case the war is over now. I am more than willing to play another. Maybe stick with a strategy I have done more than once before…

5 art 3 tank but basically yes. Really? I used one online that said 71% which is why I went for it

Nevermind not 80 but still upwards of 70%, but not even close to taking it

I surrender. Calculator said I had 88% chance of winning London and I didn’t even come close. That ends the war in Europe. If you want we can continue but thats game over
