Please feel free to fill this out! I will only be using this to pull names from now on, as going off the forums can be difficult.

@vodot Getting into an easily importable form is the tricky part. See the google forms link I just put up, I will be putting in names and locations as well as contact info weekly. Ideally, you could filter out people who play a specific version of A&A.

@LevHunter Ignore.

@everyone I’ve started making a map for A&A players to put in their information to so we can all more easily figure out where players live. Feel free to fill out this form, map is attached.

https://goo.gl/forms/H9wiA40yZEGMcGDU2

@655321 Here is a form https://goo.gl/forms/ast690w5dqjNOsqE3

I will periodically update the map with users who have put in their info.

It’s disabled right now, but I can enable it.

For those interested, I have started a project with Google Maps to create a global map of all Axis and Allies players. It would make seeing where players are located, organizing events, and seeing who plays what much more simplified. It is a big project though, and I realize I would be spending a lot of time collecting player names from here and elsewhere. To make this easier I am requesting a few things:

• A way that players can put in limited information about their geographic location, what versions of A&A they have or are willing to play, and other such details.
• Some help! I started hand jamming some public usernames from this Facebook post but I realized before I even started doing that how long it would take. Putting information into a Google sheet or excel sheet would be the way to go for this process.

This would be of priceless value to the community and potentially could develop into some kind of app as well. I view this as a great way to get the community more organized! Here is a link to the project so far.

Part 4: Starting the ships, adding decals to the tanks, skin tones on the soldiers

Today spent some time adding paint to the sprayed ships, including painting the water jettisons on the subs black (this was very tricky and ended up looking a little sloppy). Advice for painting the jettisons: toothpicks are not small enough! If you do use toothpicks, you’ll have to dab a dot of black for each tiny jettison.

The battleships were a bit easier, and painting the decks, bridge, and smoke stacks were all done in silver. I plan on adding the final grey coat last after the deck and stacks/bridge dry. I experimented with how to add the national emblem, and will probably opt for a white background with a red dot on the bow of the ship. In the future I may do that with the rear end of the ship.

I painted the tranny smoke stacks silver and added a white background for the emblem on the destroyers. All in all, the Japanese navy is coming along nicely.

The armor is pretty much done. I added a white flag to the front side of the armor and will be adding the red dots later. For the aircraft, I’ll be adding a red band around the rear part of the plane. I was debating between sky blue and red and may alternate just for some variety.

The soldiers got some skin! And I just want to say that adding the paint alone brings out the contours of their facial features in an excellent manner on their own. I may add a touch of black to certain areas of the face but that will be a last step. The next step will be panting their uniforms, rifles, and helmets.

After all this is done, I will be spray painting the japanese bombers white, the aircraft carrier black, and then will add the details to those. The Japanese are about 55% done all in all and I’m pleased with the results so far even if they do look a bit amateurish. Stay tuned.
