@FieldMarshalGames:
Maybe I am just to hardcore, but I bought an extra copy of AAP so I could have an extra set of FLEET MARKERS! The Fleet markers from Axis & Allies Pacific should solve your problem of crowded sea zones… AND they look really cool on the board as task groups.
I recommend borrowing them from your AAP game OR buying a copy just for these FLEET MARKERS.
I completely forgot about those markers. I will bring them up at our next game, great idea, thanks. Though, I still would rather play the game on something that is more map like and less of a board. This is one of the reasons I draw out the PlayersAid maps. I believe one guy in my group would play on a checker board if we would let him. So it boils down to personal taste, of how you like to play your game. I still love IL’s idea of playing in a replica German bunker while dressed as a Field Marshall, while arriving in his own cabrolet!! LOL-Now, that is a game I would like to be in on…
