Not quite the same as Axis & Allies but there is “1812; Invasion of Canada”, which is a semi card driven war game. It uses wooden blocks but you could substitute these with “Viktory” game pieces or other miniatures. The game is worth checking out on its own merits, with or without miniatures.

Hello All. A while back, there was some discussion on the HBG thread about what kind of roundels he would come up with. A number of members expressed interest in a German roundels depicting the swastika. First of all, let me just say that I know many people do not like the swastika and I respect their beliefs. IF you are someone that is offended by seeing a swastika, then this thread is not for you. Please do not post here saying what an evil symbol it is or how bad the Nazis were. I know all of that and really don’t need your lectures.
This thread is for any members that are interested in obtaining German/Nazi swastika roundels. Another member, alphacentaurus, was nice enough to put up a template of 24 different roundels and included the Nazi symbol in one of them. I downloaded that template and managed to create my own template of 24 Nazi roundels. I then printed them out using the highest quality setting on my printer onto some self-adhesive label paper. I stuck that to some cardboard stock, covered it with laminating plastic to protect the ink and used a steel hollow punch to punch them out.
I have two styles available: small image and large image.
The small image has the entire red border with a circle of white around the edge.
The large image has just a bit of the red border at the very edge of the roundel. This is due to the original image being 2 cm which is too large for the roundels which are 1.85 cm, or 3/4 inch.
In the pictures below, the first simply shows both styles of roundels. The second is my roundels next to roundels from HBG and WOTC. I feel that my roundels are comparable to both HBG and WOTC in quality, or at least very close for a home-made product.
The third picture shows a random sampling of both styles. You might notice that a few of them are a little off-center. I included this pic so no one will be surprised thinking all will be perfect. While I tried very hard to get each roundel centered correctly, some of them got a little bit off-centered. It’s not drastically off and doesn’t mess up the image (I wouldn’t sell any that were off that badly), I just want any potential buyer to be aware. Most of them will not even be noticable.
I am asking $4.00 for a set of 24 roundels, plus $2.70 for shipping First Class Mail. That shipping cost will stay the same for more than one set as these are pretty light weight. I will ship them in a padded envelope. If anyone is interested, just e-mail me at knp7765@sbcglobal.net and tell me which style you want and how many sets. Then I will give you my Paypal address and we can go from there. I think you will be happy with these if this is what you are looking for.

Yeah, I know they aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. It’s just that when this discussion came up a while back on HBG’s thread, there were a few that seemed interested and when I figured out how to make these for myself, I just wanted to make them available to those out there that did want them. Thanks for looking.

Knp I mentioned it to you in a personal e-mail. Red Star with dark green background for Russia. Just a thought.

If anybody wants these KNP is all over it. I ordered and he shipped the next day. When I get them I will post on the quality which I have no doubt will be high.

Got the roundels today. If anybody wants these I can assure you KNP did a nice job.

Hey 12doze I am not good at posting pictures so I will let you know that they have a black bottom and are as thick as the europe 40 roundels. Knp I think did a nice job on these.

Just take pics with your phone and put them in your computer, then upload them in a storage site and post here

12 doze the pictures KNP has up are as good as anything I can put up there. they are the same thickness as europe40 and they are the right size. I think 2 sets cost me about 11 bucks. If you want them doze they are worth it.

Hey 12doze12,
Here is a little sample pic I took when I first made some of these roundels. I was using the smaller image roundels at the time. -
Hey 12doze12,
