[Global 1940] What do you use for new game pieces?

This may sound like an improbable source, but another idea would be for you to go to some local dollar stores and look around.  Back when I was making myself a dice tower, I discovered that some dollar store chains sell (among all the miscellaneous stuff they have in stock) some plain unpainted rectangular wooden trays of various sizes, made of very thin wood.  Their designs could not be simpler – a bottom and four sides glued together, all made of flat wooden pieces – and they’re cheap in both price and appearance, but they’re about the right size for what you have in mind and they would probably look quite nice if you applied some dark wood stain to them.  And because they’re so inexpensive, picking up as many as you need for your table would be very affordable.  It would also be easy to customize them by, for example, subdividing the larger models into sections by cutting some balsa wood sticks (or other types of woods) to suitable sizes and gluing them inside the trays before you stain them.

@the-captain Excellent Yes i find caucasus much harder to defend in EXP. It is quite key to do so though imo 🙂

Edit
I still like Mines in Bellarus but as you say, it’s more to encourage a different movement. If one can keep Army Group South and North unable to support each other, that pretty much prevents any major German offensive.

Bellarus is so key, for russia as well. There mobile units can strike both German Groups then.

I find when trading TTys is when the mines seem to be more impactful.

If Russia loses Belarus and both German Army Groups can concentrate with there superior mobility, there kinda fckd.

Of course, if theres 3 German Army Groups, there pretty much fckd anyway lol

This is the pacific setup with convoy boxes and the 9 island groups on this side doesn’t show the cards. But the cards are colored and there also is a colored dot by the island in the groups.

Here’s a taste of German event cards but some have been changed.

We did create Canada as a distinct power and the extra ally does create imbalance- we took the money from UK so they are slow to do much. But my son was geeked up to order some UK troops and paint them cherry red.
We haven’t quite found a counter balance for the axis. Maybe we shall try Vichy France.
I lose more than win but my kid knows his ww2 history and world geography pretty well, so…

These rules are part of the Axis & Allies Global 1940 2E, House Rules Expansion.

Included in these rules are also rules concerning Soviet Factories.
