Hello. About 5 months ago your friend made a custom map for me. It was the 1942 2nd edition with Italy added. My printer person is ready to print but needs a high resolution version to print out. I lot the copy and contact of the person who made it. Could you please reconnect me with that person? thank you.
My Axis & Allies 1942 Room…
-
how many stars are there on your US flag
I only have 13 on mine ;).
Is that for a Johnny Reb and Yanks 1862 War Room or for the Continentals and Royals 1776 War Room? ;)
-
I was looking at the pieces that you use… seems mainly Classic repainted but I can’t figure out the cruisers, destroyers and artillieries.
The pieces are kind of a mix from different game sets - they are more for easy recognition of class than historical. I actually don’t have the 1942 game - only the map. For now I refuse to pay over a dollar per ship for “official” cruisers, like I’ve seen advertised. Mine cost a nickel each. lol
@Herr:
I have one little nagging question, though: how many stars are there on your US flag? There’s only a corner of it in the picture, but the rows seem to alternate like they do on modern flags.
You know what? You’re right - that US flag is probably modern - I didn’t even think about the stars. Now I’ll have to go looking for a 40’s one!

Whichever you find more offensive, naturally. :wink:

You’re not alone there. Quite a few movie directors used the modern flag when it should have been the 48 star flag. Just one of my pet peeves.

wow, just wow! :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o
But a question:
How do you have Artillery, cruisers, and Destroyers? Its the Classic pieces, so how do you have them?
-
Really nice job on the “Combat Room”.
If you’re going to get another flag you’ll want a 48-Star flag, like here on my I.C.'s to be correct. Again,…great job!

Are those Italian pieces I see back there?! :-o (in your pic)

Very nice room. I just showed the pics to my wife and said when we have the room I would love to do something like this. Job well done.
-
OK I ordered the 48 star flag on ebay - salute!
I’m kind of embarrassed to answer questions about my game pieces - I admit they are sort of a Frankenstein assortment right now. I ordered the artillery, destroyers, and cruisers from historicalboardgaming.com - very good source and fast service. But my cruisers are actually short battleships from the “Attack” game. They were like 5 cents each. Then when I got them they were molded really low to the table - I couldn’t pick them up with my fingers. So I melted a small finish nail into each of them for a “mast” and spray painted them. The destroyers looked too much like battleships to me- the same length and all, so I clipped them shorter. I didn’t like the way the German 88 artillery looked on the board - it just seemed like they should be AT guns - so I ordered all the same kind of standard looking artillery pieces and painted them five different colors. Works for us but I’ll probably upgrade someday.

Empireman,
Yes, those are the FMG Italian Rifle Infantry. I don’t have a “finished” shot yet, but here’s a pic, below.
My appologies to Der Kuenstler for answering a question on your thread.

No problem - those infantry are amazing!

That game room looks amazing. It makes me want to come over to your house and play A&A. Great job!

Well done, I love seeing how crazy other people get with this game! Gives me hope for my own sanity to see I’m not the craziest, lol.

This is amazing. Your buddies are lucky to have you! And congratz on keeping your wife on the good side…
