I have had a 3D printer hobbyist CAD design a new BB playing piece and a new DD playing piece.
The BB is based on the WW1 UK Iron Duke modified for appearance. It is, certainly, better looking than the original BB design. Additionally, I (we) used a depiction of a WW1 US 4 stacker DD to make a modified DD playing piece for A&A WW1. The rationale that the Sub replaces the need for a DD just doesn’t ‘cut it’ (make sense). Most of the colour filaments used to 3D print these units are a good match to the original playing piece colours. I will post pictures of these as I have assistance doing so.

How’d you get the arrows and roundels looking so sharp? Is this all freehand or did you use decals?
I always thought the big white arrows painted on Corsairs were amusing, as if they are instructions, “This side up” or “It goes in this direction.”
Looks like the HBG Marines expansion set is sold out, but they still have sets of dark green Corsairs. Decisions decisions…
