Agreed- #3 Heavy looks best. That one has a few landings to his credit, from the looks of him.

@Maddog77: @pfc_pander: Love the M-1 Carbine, nice touch! It’s fully functional too. My Dad carried one in Korea (He was an artillery man during the war) I have all the attachments for it (30 round mags, bayonette, heat shield, oil tube, etc.) It’s a very fun small caliber weapon to shoot. I like how it adds to the whole war room atmosphere so it just has to be displayed on the wall. I keep a trigger lock on it because I have young children running about and the rest of my hunting rifles are locked up in the safe. If anyone comes across a nice WWII propaganda poster or gadget for sale (from any country) please let me know. I’m really ramping up my collection. My grandfather was in the 40th Infantry Division in Korea and he told me a story about how carbines were a prized weapon of choice in the infantry. Guys from other units had them and it got around that you could get your hands on one if you went to the showers and waited for a guy who had one to step into the shower. Then they would just take his gun. He ended up doing just that.

@CWO-Marc said in HISTORICAL DECALS for American Carriers.: {snip} CV-4, Ranger, was America’s first purpose-built carrier, and was twice as fast as Langley, but was about 10,000 tons smaller than the Yorktown class, and as I recall most or all of her WWII service was in the Atlantic/Mediterranean theatre, against two countries (Germany and Italy) with no operational fleet carriers in their navies. Admiral King, the chief of the US Navy during World War II, wanted to refit the Ranger and send her to the Pacific. When his staff told him that the refit would cost just as much as a new-build Essex-class carrier, he changed his mind. The Ranger would be the only US carrier that was in commission on December 7th, 1941, to not face the Japanese Navy in World War II. Of course, not facing the Japanese Navy in no way prevented the Ranger from seeing action in World War II, just in the North African and European theaters. -Midnight_Reaper

@CWO: @Duri7: PS: I would love to add a picture but there no option for me to do this. (Attachment Option shows not up. Links & image links are not allowed) You need approximately 10 posts before you can attach pictures, due to the forum’s anti-spam software. Thanks for the clarification! So I’m looking forward to join more discussions (insted of just reading them :roll:) to gain the needed number of postings.

Ah, yet another good use for the coasters! I was awarded the Customizer badge at some point unknown, but marked on my pictures post as to when I found out I was a recipient. There is a post somewhere on the forums that tells of the process and from what I recall one has to be nominated by someone to a moderator and there is some sort of review process. Here’s a link to the award discussion thread: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/24173/customizers-round-2 Glad you enjoy the pics and tips! We all inspire each other with our pictures, tips, and techniques, so keep sharing!

@CWO: @ozimek1: You could have painted at the borders, IPC values, territory names etc. on the glass. That way you could easily use the 3D map for different games by changing the glass overlay I think that having different sheets of painted glass for different games would be an expensive proposition. I don’t know how much Rorschach’s setup cost him, but the acrylic sheet which covers my own AA50 table set me back over a hundred bucks. Yeah, I originally was going to etch all the borders onto the acrylic, but when you’re looking at $50 (give or take) per sheet for this size it would be far too expensive. But, to be honest, the sheet is so close to the table anyway there is absolutely no mistaking the territories, so it’s all good. And this way, if we want to play a different game, we just pop in a flat MDF panel underneath instead of the AA50 board and you’re good to go! The entire table (not counting countless hours of time) cost me about $150 … still no legs on it though. And, Jeremy and I finally finished our game. 17 rounds, 9 weeks (about an hour and a quarter, hour and a half a week) … Allied Victory when the Brits waltzed into a sparsely defended Berlin.
