Nothing a bit of paint wont fix…… :-D. Lets just get the things in our hands first… :-)

While i am excited about seeing a naval game, the amount of new pieces in this  game is what will complicate it. For those of us who are diehard fans it wont be a problem, it will just take some time before we can introduce it to others. Maybe we could think of 2 sets of rules, one which uses standard pieces maybe? without all the new units? Or maybe just some? Just a thought anyway. A game that concentrates on navy and air will be great, i look forward to some epic naval battles, keep up the good work gang.

I would love a naval game, i find that in all the games i have played we dont get to spend enough on fleets, it’s all about the island or land campaigns, so would be nice to  have an all naval game….my 2c

I love a good tank battle but i love carriers and planes even more…… :-D I vote Midway

I can see big problems, a lot of us will miss out because you wont have enough to fill the demand……or maybe i’m just being impatient, can we pre-order so we don’t miss out?

While i enjoy reading through all the strategy topics and getting ideas, so much of it can fall flat on a bad throw of dice…… Have played many games with what i thought was good strategy only to lose with one or two bad throws.

I scanned my revised board, enlarged and printed it out, it measures over 5foot by 3, i also enjoyed big world on triplea so i made my own and printed it as well. I stuck them down on each side of a large sheet of cardboard and covered with clear contact. No more knocking over units in tight territories. Have pics in my mediafire account but am not allowed to post on here as yet.

Could put it down as " Fog Of War", how easy it is for us when the board is in front of us, we can survey the whole world.

Love the paintwork , also really like your flags on the big ships and your aircraft stands. Awesome.

Love your work, wish my hands were a bit more steady. I’ve used a paint wash, but hadn’t heard about an ink wash.

In no particular order:
Lemmings SNES
Cannon Fodder SNES
Lylat Wars Nin 64
Super Conflict SNES
Topgear Rally Nin 64

Love the corsair, am sure it will sell out real fast, but we definitely should have the P-51

Cool history, i got the pacific set with the red japanese, thought it was standard until i got another set for more pieces. I also got the guadacanal with the mixed up cruisers.

Thanks for that IL  :-)

Just wanted to share some pics of my painted set, it was done some years ago, not as good as those i have seen on the forums.
all the w’s      mediafire.com/i/?iakmua224tufwkd      ,This forum wont let me show pics, unfortunately

Yes, i wish i had a dedicated room that i could keep mine setup in, also dont always have much time so i end up playing on the computer. I really love playing with the pieces though. Thanks for the replies

It is always good to learn new tricks. Many years ago i painted my 2nd edition pieces. Some were a bit rough but i was happy with them. I brought the revised version and i learned how to do a black wash, worked well on my ships. Have just received the new aa40 pacific and europe, my new painting project begins.  :-)

I started with the 2nd edition, moved up to revised, had to buy the pacific  :-D  then brought the anniversary edition. My newest versions should arrive this week, the pacific1940 and europe 1940, am excited after reading all the posts from others who have played it.

Hi all, i have owned the 2nd edition for many years, has seen a lot of wear, am using it to introduce my boys to the aaa world. I dont get many real opponents, most of my games have been solitaire and it doesn’t work the best that way. I did paint all the units a long time ago, didn’t do the infantry but was quite pleased with my results. Does anyone still play?
