As part of building my Global 1936 capability, I’ve converted Bob A Mickelson’s Pacific 1940 Task Force Markers so you can use them for Europe 1940 Armies. I have the small Global war map so think task force markers will be invaluable! As per my Anniversary aid’s used Bob’s work as a base as liked the graphical presentation of his markers the most.

If you download Bob’s original markers from the Pacific 1940 thread you can use for Global 40 as well of course, or Global War 1936 as I intend to.

Hope others find them useful.

Is this in MS Excel? If so, can you share the file?

Sorry it’s not in Excel.

I’m using Adobe Photoshop CS6. The textures that I made for the neutrals are partially “from scratch” and partially “stitched together” (and color corrected) from other areas of the map.

Wow, those must have taken you a long time to do. So much color variations, you have there, for the Italians. Super job on these. :-)

I’ve gotten several private messages and some responses in this thread… so just as a head’s up and a community service…

Because of the private messages, I have ALREADY made a deal to unload my custom units, and they are, in-fact, already mailed off.

I know its kinda pointless now, but if you’re still that curious as to what I did have, here’s the complete list of the custom HBG units I had purchased in the last few weeks to beef up my bins… since I later made a decision to pull them and not use them, I did eventually re-order equivalent numbers of default/original OOB A&A units from HBG to beef up my numbers (like if I didn’t like the two HBG Japanese Fuso battleships, I reordered two OOB Kongo or Yamato battleships to replace them… so-on and so-on. Anyways, here’s the (now kinda pointless) list:

(BTW: you may notice that for the most part, planes are missing from this list… I found most custom HBG aircraft to be good enough and scaled well enough to survive my “off-scale axe”. So there are many HBG planes like P-47s and F4F/Hellcats that survived the cut and made it into my permanent bins)

I was able to obtain 3d-printed markers on shapeways. They are translucent plastic. Very small, but with good detail.

The Capital Set (all nations) is $25 USD and includes the following:

Germany - Reichstag Building
Japan - Imperial Palace
Italy - Coliseum

U.K. - Westminster Palace
U.S. - Capitol Building
U.S.S.R. - St. Basil’s Cathedral
FEC - Taj Mahal
ANZAC - Sydney Harbor Bridge
France - Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe

When I bring them out for a game, folks are always impressed.
