YG, any idea when these will be widely available?

I had the same questions not long ago. Check out these links:

Thanks for watching!

Glad you brought up this topic Rand. I have been thinking about the same thing. I have not done anything yet because I am also considering hit dice. Not sure if both would be needed.

Here is a video on the tabletop I made recently. Please check it out:

I’ve made a YouTube video about my table. Please check it out:

I had an anniversary copy of monopoly that had unpainted wooden houses and hotels. Since no one has played Monopoly in our house since my father in law and my wife’s grandmother got in a screaming match Thanksgiving Day, 2011 and didn’t speak for two years, I figured it was safe to commandeer them for the G40 table.

Well I�m glad you made this suggestion. Mine are on the way. Of course, if they don�t live up to all my expectations, I know who to blame. Ha!

Gen.Nehring, do you have a picture of those?

Agreed! That would have been a lot for cardboard!

I spoke briefly with Doug at HGB and he said the OOB designation was just to reference the roundel design as some people use different ones� for instance, the Fascist Italian roundel seems popular on some custom maps. The map I had printed has the OOB roundel designs, so this set will match that.

That’s an excellent point, Bob77. I am not sure if they are indicating that the roundel design is the OOB design or if the piece count matches the OOB. I never counted my cardboard roundels. I will have to ask them.

Certainly my understanding is that the roundels are the hardboard upgraded roundels they have been offering in lots of 10, only packaged for a complete G40 set at some discount.

I wanted to replace the roundels with something more substantial. The cardboard ones certainly work, but I think the acrylic markers and the hardboard roundels are higher quality. I wasn’t sure how many of each country to buy in lots of ten. So the G40 prepackaged set was helpful to me.

So my questions have been answered… Thanks HBG and General Hand Grenade Check out these links:

Exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks. I’m going to struggle keeping it put away.

If I was starting over, I would do a few things differently, but overall I am pleased with the result…
