Originally built in 1994 to specifications for a 2nd edition map that came with an expansion rules set (Gamers Paradise in Chicago). I have since replaced the map underneath the glass twice (Revised and then Anniversary). The map is larger than the OOB to fit more pieces, so that’s a good thing, plus the glass protects the map from wear and spills.
There are shelves on the sides to hold a beverage as well as to roll against.
We like letting the dice fly when we battle!
It is in two pieces with metal inserts/slots underneath to keep the pieces on the same plane. There are also handles on back for transporting from the closet to the table top. I have actually traveled with this once to a friends house as it just fit in the back of my Durango.
This was the first customization project after I moved into my house, and for 20 years, this battle board has past the wear and tear of many a battle.
Nice to see others have the sasme sick addiction as I do :wink: :-)
