Global Gaming Table Threads and Pictures

Excellent table Robson,

Great attention to detail, and you really know how to spoil your fellow players. Looks like you have the 2nd edition board, I can’t believe that WOTC didn’t fix the dark convoy symbols…. crazy. Are you playing some kind of house rule using Canada as a separate nation?

[Robson]

Thanks YG glad you like it
The Canadian units are just for a better look, they are used as normal on UK turn  :-)
For the same reason I use the finnish and neutral units, oil markers, canadian roundels, hellcat fighter and the red mongolian units. Now the only thing missing are the combat dice from fmg and some strict neutral units.

[Robson]

…oh I forgot, yes thats the second edition board. I was also hoping that they worked on the symbol issue. Perhabs they use it as a argument for the 3rd edition. Thats WOTC style  :-)
But I will be happy if I get the combat dice I ordered November 2011  :-D

[Bombadill10]

Sweet, I like what you did.

Robson,
  Awesome looking table. I was wondering where did you find the two tiered storage thingies. Me and a couple of buds are building a table and are looking for something like that. We are stationed overseas so maybe you could point use to an online retailer?? Thanks. Again good looking table

Hey CWO Marc,

Could we update the first post in this thread to include pics of all the tables that have been built recently. It seems a little dated.

Thanks in advance.

I’m not sure what you mean by dated.  If any of the links in the first post are no longer valid or have changed to new URLs, let me know what the correct new links are and I’ll be glad to make the necessary corrections.  (I’m hoping it won’t be necessary because, due to the board’s current software, this will introduce a whole bunch of black diamonds into the text of the post.)  If you mean that the first post only lists the small number of table picture threads that existed at that time, this was always the original intention.  The first post was simply meant to be the starting point for the overall thread, with new links for new gaming tables being added to the thread afterwards as separate posts.  In other words it’s the overall thread itself that was meant to collect links, not just the first post.

OK, understood…. I thought other links would be added to make post #1 a one stop shop for all the different table pics.

Here is the link to my build thread. Hopefully this helps someone in the future get started on their own. We will be playing our first game this weekend on it. I will post pictures when we are done.

how do I post an image here?  do you have to get permissions from the admin?

[Der Kuenstler]

You need a certain number of posts to post pics unless a moderator helps you out.

Kcheu’s custom G40 table

–------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table that I’ve been wanting to build since 1984 dreaming as a kid… I have seen pretty impressive tables at gencon and a lot of tables in this forum gave me some inspiration. Young grasshopper’s table I liked the most and it follows his design with the map he worked on. Hope you like as I will be breaking it in with my two boys and some friends this labor day weekend.

Awesome job! I can see you have some real woodworking skills - nice idea making it fit on top of the pool table.

[Johnson73]

WOW!!!

[cyanight]

Incredible!  That is fantastic.

[kcheu]

thanks, i look forward to many many games on this table.

[Young Grasshopper]

If you wanted to make about 5 of these, I bet they could fetch at least $1600 > $1900 each.

[kcheu]

I actually thought a second about that considering the game-table company geekchic that goes to gencon every year, but at this point I am not sure I could handle customer service on that one, lol.  The materials cost about the following

Jatoba raw wood-  $300
2 white oak base 4x8 plywood sheets- $65
2x2 underbase frame support- $30
vinyl map - $150
Lacquer - $10
Suede material for dice rolling box and compartments - $16
Spray adhesive- $12
labor- ….many weekends lol

[Robson]

Hello guys,

just wanted to show you my new war room in my new house  :-D
It is more a gentleman�s room with nice small bar.
The game table is similar to the one a few posts ago.
The only differences are two dice towers and the amazing combat dice from FMG.
Hope you enjoy the pictures. And if somebody is the southwestern region of Germany, walk right in
for a game  :-)
