Anyone else have trouble priming German Flak 88 / Artillery pieces from Spring 1942 2e / Europe 1940 2e?

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.

We order from GBS enterprises. They have mattress protectors in all sizes., and they are water proof.

Any good mattress protectors should be water proof, and I’m sure there are other companies that sell them.

We quit using mattress pads, because it takes the feel away from a new mattress, because of the padding in them.

Well done! Thanks for sharing your work.

I have made alterations, mostly to territory values along with adding a few new territories, to the Global 40 game to more accurately (as I believe) reflect the relative values of the given territories of the game map. Here is a list of my changes and/or additions;
United States (value 47)…… East US 20, Central US 12, West US 10, Alaska 2, Hawaii 1 & Philippines 2

Maybe someone else will alter their game boards to these values. They are more accurate (relatively speaking) than what is presented by the game developers.

one additional comment:

I recommend to follow the map1942.2-thread in the AA1942 section, the latest version of the map is linked there.

good ideas -thanks!

I never converted to V2.

I’ve been able to add a few new planes thanks to some Shapeways modelers. These include the Polish PZL 11 and Romanian IAR 80.

If there is enough interest maybe we can get more models made.

You can search shapeways for the two models I reference. The air game has stats for the IAR.
My stats for the PZL are as follows:

AI 7/5
AV 3/2
cost 9
defense 4/4
SA: aircraft, anti-air, slow

The slow ability means that a decent plane would have a big advantage on this guy, as it should.

I can post the final pics when I’m done painting. And I can post a pic to the air game cards I created for a Veteran and Average PZL 11 if anyone wants.
