Thank you for sending the map to my printer. I have been testing scenarios out with my A&A using my 1942 second edition. I just have been using sticky note paper to mark my Italian territories. I used the game pieces from my anniversary addition for the Italian pieces. I also added have tracks: cost is IPC 5. Attack 2, defend 2 as tanks cost 6 IPC in this version. Its nice to spend 5 IPC on an actual unit other than an AA gun. No artillery bonus on half track in this version
I also added the recruitment center from zombies.
Please see the chart below

RECRUITMENT CENTER 10 0 0 0
INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX 15 0 0 0
VIDEO: Grasshopper's G40 Custom Table

Hello everyone,
I have shown off my table here in the past, however, I’m creating one last thread due to some newly added features and custom map.

As mentioned in the video we play 1940 Global with a few modifications. The link above will take you to a thread detailing all the house rules we use during our games at the bunker.

Very nice! I like the concept of each player having a national “headquarters”.
A question: what are those beads on rod sthat look a bit like an abacus? Are they used to track something?
-
Yes, and even though each nation gets their own “area”, it is still very much a move around table.
Yes, it is an abacus, 4 of them to be exact. 2 at each end, 1 for attacker, 1 for defender, and 12 beads each to count casualties.

Been there, though it was to play WW2 Miniatures (Rules of Engagement).
It’s a very nice little setup the Young Grasshopper has going on there with surprisingly ample space to move around such a small(ish) room!

Thanks IWNGU, and I will definitely be showing off my ROE table here with a youtube video as well. It is a small room, but like you said… it’s incredible how comfortable it is moving around for such limited space.

Cozy, and very bunker-like. Great place YG. Especially love the beverage and food corner.

Very nice work YG! Just beautiful.
I have been planning a similar war table in my mind for a while now, just haven’t quite had the time - yet. I am curious, how did you create the custom map, with the battle board and charts built in, as a single board (hence no creases etc)? Would very much like to print out a similar board as I hate the creases of the OOB boards.
I assume you have a custom file on computer, but how/where do you print such a thing?
Would love to know a few secrets. :)

Sorry for the naive question, I found the thread I was looking for.
Was there ever a youtube video made?

No problem, I should get around to making the video this weekend, check back on this thread for an update early next week.
Cheers.
