There are no permenant lines so that alternate land sets could be made and layed down over the water base color. Originally we would lay down low tack adheasive narrow black tape but found that on a map that large, the zones are obvious and you really don’t need them. The next stage that we never got around to was an elevated plexi layer to place the aircraft on.

Classic?

If one wanted to ship it, making their own arrangements and contacted me ahead of time I would be glad to help but it would be crazy expensive.

As a long time lurker, and lover of A&A I wanted to post here and let you all know that I have put my war table up on ebay. I really didn’t want to but times have changed. One of the gang got married and another fellow’s once cool wife went ferral soccer mom once the baby was born and I haven’t been able to get a game night together in over 2 years. It has been in my garage and is getting in the way of my airplane so it has to go and I hope it will go to a good home. The continents modeled from the A&A set so you could make any set you want and lay them out on the board. It will include the track lighting, coninent set, board and support stand. A few islands dissapeared but are easy to make replacements. The continents are textured with model railroad scenery products and have the proper zones marked off. I am located about an hour west of D.C.

Still here, just been busy. I spent my time in the middle east during GWI and if they need me, they have my number. I just don’t want to waste my time or life on another half measure that does not engage the enemy with the intent of destroying him. We need to go full measure on this, and we needed to do it 25 years ago when this began.

I have had the owner as a guest at my place for games after talking to him and ordering some of his cards. He is a super nice guy and a good gamer. The cards he makes really add to the game and go a long ways toward keeping it from becoming just a numbers game with tactics and strategy being thrown out. Allot of his stuff is also common sense, like an IPC chart with a bigger range and pieces to represent new unit types. The oen thing he has that I cannot reccomend is the Fog of War set. The cards are good looking but the rules are terrible. They are a seperate set and rule type all together and made by a different company.

Were all really smart people and we use a copy of the original game board as a guide and obey the sea zones as they are on the map.

Everyones a critic :P

The original A&A map is not exactly scale. The board was produced as a 4.something X larger version of the original. Therefore all distortions and such are ducplicated. This is to preserve game mechanics.

I am working on IPC buttons right now.

I will post some pics of the Armys soon.

Three of us are beer brewers so there is always good quality beer at out games.

There are no sea zones because we have continenet sets layed out for Europe, pacific, U.S. etc. We just lay down the continents and have the ocean where we need it as the entire base of the board is blue.

Where is the WBC held at?

This is weird. The code is entered right but it just shows the link text.

Just go to my site www.SubaruBrat.com and then look on the left for miscelania and click on that. The pics are there.

We did those out of celtex model train layout material. It is available at hobby shops for $30.00 a sheet or at Home Depot for $3 a sheet, your choice. The continents and islands are attatched with a rubber-cement like material so you can remove the A&A set and place down a A&A Europe or a Civil War or whatever layout you want. And since the entire table is ocean you always have ocean where it should be.

Pics of the finished product as well as painted armys will be up soon.

That’s about it, has anyone used it?

Some changes were made, the board is designed to be compatable with the A&A Europe and Pacific as well as A&A. It is also good for general pupose war gaming.

Honestly I haven’t played in over 10 years. My roomate picked up a copy of A&A Europe and we both looked at the board and decided we could do better. So we did, and then the pieces needed to be painted so they weren’t shiny plastic, and then the decals etc.

It has been allot of work but it will be finished soon. The continents are in the process of being finished right now and everything else is pretty much done. The board has 3d raised and textured continents that are done with model railroad products. The oceans are several layers of ocean blue automotive paint over a primer base, this is buffed to a deep blue and is textured as well. The edges of the board are cherrywood finished. The board has a track lighting system done in cammo with Halogen lights. There is also a series of storage areas at the top of the board for all the pieces as well as cards and card holders. The pieces are also in production right now. They are being finished with primer, then OD Green or appropriate color, and then the emblem stickers I got from strafing run games.

Here are some pics from the construction of the table. Pics of the finished product will be up soon.
