I loved Field Marshall Games’ ammo box that he made way back when, but the price was way too much for me. But I wanted to condense my games into a single storage for easy transport, so my son and I made one. Love how it turned out. I have condensed and stored AA 1914, AA 1941, AA 1942, Europe and Pacific in there plus a couple others. Not that big, and love the look. Ironically, wood is expensive, as are hinges and such, so I see why FMG’s were so expensive back in the day.

Now post what you have!

Ok, about to start the companion game to World War II in Europe.

Using the spring 1941 set up for this one.

Japan has 5 turns to try to beat down China while setting up to go to war with the West. But China is a quagmire, even though China is not united with Sinkiang under the control of the Warlord Shicai, and the communists controlling the north.

Still looking for a game? I am interested.

Not really. I have now fallen off the bike 3 for 3.

Well, if you are interested in more pieces, you can buy mine. They are just collecting dust in my house.

As for the ammo box, I make them.

Playing a game of this from the fall 1939 set-up. Initial pictures are the starting set-up.

Thanks for the welcome back.

If Karl wants to count it as a league game, sure. My strategies all date back to the early days, so I am going to get trounced. But global is a bit much to play for me, so I’d like to do smaller games, if that is allowed.

After talking about it, my opponent is surrendering. Losing everything he had (except for the planes) in the south is not something he can recover from. Russia will not fall now, and he no longer has Paris. Normally we would keep playing, because to win the war I need to have Berlin and Rome by the end of fall 1945, otherwise a minor victory is awarded to the side that has the most flags.

But it is only now winter 1943, so it looks like I will most certainly win the war as I have lots of time. Even if I hadn’t cut him off in the south, he wasn’t going to win. Was fun, though, and I hope you all enjoyed seeing the war unfold.

Next we’ll do Pacific.

@Imperious-Leader

Dragoon happens off board. Starting on turn 8, allies roll to see if the units from Dragoon show up in designated spaces on the bottom of the map coming up from southern France. Chance of success increases every turn until the roll is successful. These units are placed from the US and French forcepools. If playing with event cards, there is a chance that Dragoon fails and no units show up at all.

Two scenarios are included in the game:

1. The Battle of France, May 10th, 1940. This scenario starts on the very day the Germans started their invasion of the Low Countries and France. The obvious place to punch through is Ardennes, but as the Allied player, will you make the same mistakes and get encircled, or can you manage your forces better and engage the Germans on even terms? If France is knocked out, is there time for Sealion?

2. D-Day to the Rhine, June 6th, 1944. This scenario begins with the Allies landing. The Allied player is allowed to do 2 landings, but they do not have to be on Normandy - other options present themselves! As the Germans, can you fend off the Allies and keep them out of Germany for the win?
