Here are my latest British ships from EBard Models & HBG.

The Nelson class battleship by EBard Models is a highly detailed 3D printed sculpt shown here painted & decaled with authentic hull camouflage.

HMS Furious is a very nice 3D printed sculpt from HBG:

The HMS Vanguard by HBG is also 3D printed and makes a great addition to your fleet.

Visit my site at A&A Boardgaming and see the entire lineup of United Kingdom ships and more.

I’ve started work on some low cost customization for Europe 1940 2nd edition (and will include pacific 1940 2nd edition when I get it). I was able to get some player aids from https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/21752/game-aids-a-a-1940-global-2nd-edition. I’m also going to implement a resource system into the game, that will introduce resource costs for units (such as steel to buy tanks). Also, there will be an upkeep cost for units, eg: Each tank you have mobilized will cost a certain amount of oil per turn. This is to make the game more realistic, and to discourage unit spamming. I also plan to add more units to the game. That’s all for now

@jeffcamis:

I determined the biggest size that would fit on my dining room table would be 28 inches by 51 inches. Can I go to a print shop have them down a map and print it in that size?

You definitely can print the map I shared with the community (look at 2Huskies link) at this size.

@AlphaKappa:

I don’t like the large size of the OOB Dauntless tactical bomber piece. I am considering replacing them with the HBG P-47 Thunderbolt or Helldiver. What are the sizes of these pieces? The P-47 looks bigger than a typical fighter. Would it work as a tac?

I have the HBG P-47 fighters… they are the same size as the OOB fighters… by comparison, they are bigger than the HBG P-51, which is actually smaller than OOB fighters. If you’re expecting the HBG P-47 to be as big as OOB Tac Bombers, you’ll be disappointed.

@AlphaKappa:

I’d be interested. I’m pretty handy with the Adobe suite. Want to post a sketch of what you envision?

Thanks, I’ll send something on the weekend.

I’ve updated the approximates sizes/scales for some basic and alternate units. Keep in mind that many classes of ship and aircraft, though in the same class, varied in size so my sizes will be off on some units. If your like me I want to be able to visually distinguish between units quickly so keeping classes similar in size I find works the best. Below is my guide/attempt to standardize my pieces where they are relatively the same size for their respective class. I’ve added some alternative classes that I use in my games and ties in some of the alternate pieces that HBG is putting out. If you need something scaled and not sure how to do it let me know and I’ll do my best to help.

Carrier 6.5 cm 1/3700
Light/Escort Carrier 5cm 1/3100
Battleship 6 cm 1/4000
Cruiser 5.5 cm 1/3700
Light Cruiser 5 cm 1/3400
Destroyer 4.8 cm 1/2400

(cm is for the wingspan)
Heavy Bomber 4.7 cm 1/700
Medium Bomber 3.5 cm 1/600
Light Bomber 1.7 cm 1/600
Heavy Fighter (Twin engine) 2.8 cm 1/600
Fighter 2.2 cm 1/500
Light Fighter 1.7 cm 1/600
Dive/Torpedo Bomber 3 cm 1/500
