Here’s some fun customizations for the 2004 Revised version. Â I added Finland and the Free French…It actually plays surprisingly well with 7 players. Â I would only recommend Semi-Experienced players for Finland and the Free French. Â This is more fun because you can still participate, and coach new players to the game. Â A lot of fun. I’ll break out the separate countries rules in their own posts below. Updated order of play is:
Finland, USSR, Germany, UK, Japan, Free French, USA.

RE: New Website for Customizers
here’s some of my stuff. .youtube.com/watch?v=1_lbdCgjavc&t=3s
basically, I just like painting different units. I’ve done all the nations I like (going to work on some Italian stuff next I think), but i’m also playing with the idea of doing batches of special units (AKA Afrika Corps bundle, Desert Rats, Polish Forces, Tuskegee Airmen…etc). Basically some fun exposition bundles. not entirely practical for gameplay. I’m also open for building several variants (ie winter Russian units, Canadian British units, USA circa 1944-45, etc). just like being creative and seeing people enjoy. -
RE: Allied Strategy
I have a feeling that you and I are the only people that play the 2004 revised editions. lol

RE: New Website for Customizers
fun stuff. this just something you’re doing for a hobby or are you looking for other customizers from the community to contribute products and grow the market a little?

RE: Specialed Units/Armies Ideas
I’m thetruegriff on youtube. this forum won’t let me upload links. but if you search “painted axis and allies pieces finns” one of my vids is first.
I also uploaded my Soviet and Free French armies.
My digital camera is dying, so I tried making vids of the rest of my armies, but the lighting and focus are all weird. Â I figured I’d spare everyone the frustration and just not upload poor quality vids.
I’m about to move across the country, so buying a new camera hasn’t been high on my priorities. Â I promise I’ll get the rest of my armies up there eventually. Â -

Specialed Units/Armies Ideas
Hi all. new to the forum, but been customizing my game for a few years. Honestly my favorite bit is customizing pieces then watching people enjoy them as we play. Just FYI, I only have the 2004 Revised edition (please forgive me), but it suits my playing purposes. I do like to play around an build new armies for it. I’ve added a Finnish and Free French Army and it plays surprisingly well with 7 players.
Anyhow, I’m interested in Crowd sourcing for ideas for my next batch of pieces. I’m tossing around building an Italian Army with HBG or FMG pieces. But I’m also open to suggestions if is should add special pieces to my already-existing armies (i.e. Afrika Corps, Naval Task Force). For fun I’ve even thought of throwing together an Israel 1947 army. It would just be a fun exposition piece… no real way to play it in the game.
I’ve seen a lot of y’alls videos online (I think some of you have seen mine). So I get the confusion of custom units within nations. But again, it’s just something I’m interested in doing. I haven’t had a chance to fish through all the forums yet, so I know there’s probably a topic I haven’t found yet. But I didn’t know if y’all wanted to fill my head with bad ideas. Thanks. -
RE: Painted Pieces by Johnson
great pieces. your UK division numbers, you get those from HBG too? pain in the butt aren’t they? I haven’t found a good way to get them set without tearing a few. they’re very finicky. everything else from HBG is awesome. was curious if you cracked the code with those British division decals though.
