    • RE: AA50 3-D Terrain Gaming Table (COMPLETED July 20, 2010)

      *JULY 3rd UPDATED PHOTOS *


      All I need to do now is put on original control markers and the glass/plexi-glass table top and the table/board is completed.  I apologize for the poor quality of the photos but it’s the best I was able to get from the dozens I took sadly.  Also, the pictures don’t do it justice if you ask me;

    • RE: Man, just missed it!

      @CWO:

      @Larrie:

      Seriously, someone had this and didn’t even open the box???

      Perhaps they bought it for investment purposes, with the intention of re-selling later at a handsome profit.

      And then sold it for less than its original price point … hmm.

      Yeah, it happens that some people got it and don’t play it.  I know it’s very hard to believe but not everyone is in love with A&A (I know right?  How’s that possible??)

      Whoever got this stole it at that price!  Watch it show up on ebay for $500 now.

    • RE: HBG german set painted

      @CWO:

      Great work.  One of the things I always find intriguing about painted pieces is how (to my eyes anyway) they seem to look bigger than unpainted ones.  I don’t know if I’m the only person who runs into this optical illusion.

      I’ve not noticed that myself, but then again I don’t usually have painted and unpainted beside each other.  Or you could just be crazy!  😉

      OP : Nice job … Using decals for the emblems is definately the way to go imo.  It’s just not feasable to try and do that many tiny straight lines for the most part.  I know that I had a lot of trouble trying to freehand iron crosses (and get them all to look “right”), let alone any of the other national symbols.

    • RE: POLL: What do you love customizing

      After building my AA50 table and a portable wargaming table, I think I’m tabled out (and let’s face it, I just don’t have any more room for tables in my already cramped household) but I did love making them.

      After painting my entire AA50th set + a Spring 1942 set of pieces, I’d be more than willing to do more if the need arose.

      Right now I’m more into Wargaming terrain and miniatures though.  There’s enough there to keep me pretty busy!

    • RE: My gaming table

      Looks great!  I especially like that it’s small and specific instead of the typical Global tables we’re seeing everyone make.

      @Lozmoid:

      I think you have to get from ‘New Conscript’ to ‘Infantry’ on here before you can do that, but I could be wrong…

      Yes.  10 posts I think?

      Send someone the link and we can put it in for you.

    • RE: Fixing HBG pieces?

      In general with any small, slightly warped plastics, warming them up in nearly boiling water, straightening them (GENTLY) by hand and then immediately dunking them in ice water is the best method.  You need to dunk them in the ice water to cool them as fast as possible for it to hold the shape properly.

      However, if the warp is huge, this may take several attempts to get it to go back to straight (only straighten a little bit at a time to avoid snapping the plastic)

    • RE: FMGC 2013 - Planning, Roster, Suggestions, Invites

      @MrMalachiCrunch:

      Can we at least have the tank tow an old couch or something that we can ride on as well?  Riding on the actual tank is going to require a lottery system because it’s going to be one oversubscribed event!

      That would be hilarious!  What I wouldnt give to see that.
      I’m going to imagine the tank rides (if possible) will be a paid thing as well.

      @variance:

      can we shoot the gun?

      They tried to get the permits together to fire the gun at last years event but it was a no go (just imagine the red tape required to fire a round from the tank, even if it’s a blank, next to an Airport AND a residential neighbourhood.  Now multiply that red-tape by over 9000!).  It would be very cool though.

      Maybe we can get a display of more than just the Sherman and a couple of trucks?  Then again, all of this also costs money which FMG put out last year.  I can’t remember the actual cost but it’s not cheap.

    • RE: Wouldn't it be great to use poker chips for A&A? Now you can.

      @Gargantua:

      I used these in my last game,

      Great Addition to a real fan’s table!

      Glad you liked them!  Still in stock (and we’re going to re-order any time we start to get low so they will ALWAYS (hopefully) be in stock)!

    • RE: Field Marshal Games - Notice to our Friends and Customers

      @jluna1273:

      I read this the day AFTER I had placed an order on the FMG website. I will remain a loyal customer and I hope everything works out for you and the entire company. But, I am now curious as to how long I will have to wait. Is there a delay with other items such as IPCs and neutral color armies or is it just the Germany army?

      The delay is with the German A&A units.  The rest of the items, if they are listed as in stock, are in stock and they are usually shipped out within the week.  There have, of course, been a few fulfillment issues over the past several months but I’m pretty sure Jeremy is working on rectifying that.

      @Most:

      We’re a pretty scummy lot. More interested in something closer than where we were. On Mapquest the Best Western looked like walking distance.

      Hah, I told you it was nowhere near walking distance.  😉

      Unfortunately that’s the closest hotel/motel accommodations to the hall.  If the event gets any bigger and has to move out of the RCAF Hall then it may very well end up at somewhere like the Best Western conference room instead (in which case you could stumble to your room easily enough).
