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.

Looking for people to play any of the following games which I have. I can host.

I am in Southside Edmonton. Would like to get I to playing face to face regularly again.

Something new coming to Combat Miniatures:

@cds those subs stopped it. Didn’t anticipate that. I need to leave this for a few days. Will get back to it.

@Karl7 need to leave this for a few days

@crockett36 need to leave this for a few days

@cwglee51 Need to leave this for a few days.

@Karl7 you have 2 inf in Tunisia

@Karl7 is that the only French move you want to do?

@Karl7 nevermind, all good. Go ahead

@Karl7 don’t go with the French yet, Karl. I am wanting to change a noncombat move with the Italians, but I am not at home now, so I cannot do it yet.
