@TG:
To me A&A:50 is like a woman, and I want to be able to feel her.
Something tells me few guys on this site know what that is…… :roll:
Boo!
He just insulted A&A player’s manhood

even in jest, that’s not funny

Just bend it back until it cracks, then stomp it flat ! :-D
-
I guess I should have read this before I nailed my board to the dining room table. I haven’t been able to feel my woman so much since then.

A piece of plywood and some cinder blocks works as well.
The board will warp if stored in a humid environment, it is only cardboard after all. So if you are storing it in such a place like a garage or basement, then placing the plywood on top of it and the cinder blocks on top of the plywood will give you more than enough weight to keep it flat inbetween gaming sessions.

You should take care of your woman; she may just be the best thing you have! Unless I absolutely positively am not going regret it, then, AND ONLY THEN, will I make physical changes to game board. To me, they’re like implants. Fun at first but eventually you want to go back to the real thing.
Speaking of which, if any of you guys are engineers you can try Chemical Vapor Depositing some thin oxide or Parylene coating onto your board. That would stop the warping.

you guys have got me worried now :-(
checked my boards last night, but they seem ok still. thinking about getting some pieces of board, embedding some hinges and then glueing the game board to them. makes it foldable, and still able to be stored in the box

I haven’t seen this problem yet but I live in WA where it rains like a cold Vietnam. My solution is to get a piece of glass or plexi-glass and lay it over the board eventually after a few games you won’t need it. If it starts again just repeat the process. That way your game can stay portable, and I’ll bet alot of us out there alreay have glass tabletops. Lastly the added bennefit of having an ‘anti-beer/beverage’ screen is a plus. :-D

I cannot see how this should be a problem for her. Does she not play? Are you a wife abuser??? How dare you keep her from experiencing this game!!! After all, if she played this game, she would have no problem permanently airbrushing the board on her kitchen table!!!

My board warped bad, espically the third that contained Japan and the US, it was so bad Japan had to build canal locks
to move the navy from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific. What I did was stack a bunch of heavy books on the board and then before each game I slightly bend the board in the opposite direction. This has helped keep the board flat. -

Jen I like your style. One thing though. Why would I airbrush the board on my little kitchen table when my dining room table is over 8 feet long?

i played a 7 hour game last night, and my board hasn’t warped one bit. i just keep staring at it like it’s a bad dog, waiting for it to move
-
I don’t know why it warped so bad, the only thing I can think is that I set it up on my kitchen table, which is next to a huge window
and the sun beat down on it all day long. That is the only thing I could think, but only the pacific third warped really bad, the other two thirds was very minimal. -
