I was away for some time, so I believe an re-introduction is in order. My name is Jaime Luna, and I call Cedar Park, Texas home. I have several different versions of A&A, but my crew and I primarily play Global 1940. We try to play at least once a month, but life will always dictate when war begins. As far as customizations go, it all started in 2013 when I started reading the custom threads. I now have a table and pieces, see link: (https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/19665/1940-global-table-painted-pieces) Every time I scroll, I still find all kinds of inspiration from others in this community. I have even started painting pieces for other players.

Lastly, I just want to invite everyone to add themselves to the players list on the thread here:

I used to maintain and add everyone myself, but it was recommended that I switch to Google sheets and make it shareable. You can now add yourselves and search for players in your area.

I’ve really enjoyed getting back into gaming since returning from Afghanistan last year. I’ve been inspired by many of you in the process to customize my game and make it my own. I pledge to do my best to keep this list updated and do my part for this community.

V/r,

UPDATE: I have added hyperlinks to the profiles to make it easier to contact someone on the list. This sheet was also shared on 2 different A&A Facebook groups, so there will be names that have other ways to make contact.

After seeing all the awesome tables and painted pieces, I was absolutely inspired to make one of my own. Once my wife saw how much space was consumed on the dining room table, I had her full support, lol.

This was my first woodworking project of any kind, and I am very pleased with it. I am gathering a small group of players, and a few helped with ideas on the layout.

Its a basic sheet of plywood bolted down to a 6 foot folding table. I used 1x2 inch pieces to do the trimming. I rounded off all the edges, sanded it down and gave it a nice cherry mahogany stain. After scanning complex, naval base and air base markers onto adhesive paper, I placed them on the map and topped it off with plexiglass.

Thank you @djensen and @Panther for helping me get the Thread Lock issue resolved.

For everyone else, I have converted the previous Excel spreadsheet to an updated shared Google sheet so that you can now add your information directly. The link is at the top of the thread.
