I bought just the map 2 weeks ago… IT IS HUGE!!! i love it… I have 5 sets of A&A and have been playing since the first version. I don’t have the set to play global war but I just use all the pieces I have from all my sets I already own. I have been playing a cold war mod too on the same board. USSR and china VS USA Nato and UK. Yes the games take a long time and it can be hard to find people to play but i love it and have a great time playing. It makes the cardboard things that you get with the standard game look like garbage. Ill never play A&A on any other board… If you need special units i just use a can of Montana hardcore to spray paint it another color.
