Thank you for the clarification and the welcome.
Printing fixed object on the gameboard…
-
more of a problem for me is the 2 boards moving when bumped. Causing issues with pieces moving. Also, if they printed on the board, then there would be a Maj IC in Australia and a Minor in NZ which have since been removed from the starting setup. Think of how much fun those would be to deal with…
You do have a point there….

I use small binder clips to hold the boards together. I helps somewhat.

Do the binder clips leave an impression on the gameboards?
-
I saw a picture of somebody (I think it was LarryH) that used this on his game board. I bought some too because it is pretty annoying when the board separates. (Of course the Japanese mainland is in the center of that break so all those parts fall through)
I have not tried it yet though. I can’t ever seem to find A&A players. Anybody from Oregon???

I thought about those but assumed they would dent/scratch the board. Wanted to find some of those longer, softer plastic ones that went on the edge of a paper (usually with some colored, translucent plastic sheet to go over the title page) but can’t seem to find those as kids no longer write papers apparently.
I blame twitter (shakes cane)

@Brain:

Yes, there is a dent. A small dent, but impressions are made in the board.

I use Avery sliding Bar Report Covers to hold the board together. I used them on AA50 and WW2 The Game as well. There is minimal damage if any. The compression is spread over the 11 inches

Make an inlay on MDF board… -
@C_Strabala:
Why didn’t WotC print each nations’ original IC’s, airbases, & naval bases on the gameboard similar to the original A&A Pacific. It would save space and you wouldn’t have the risk of accidently knocking the cardboard chits everywhere.
My thinking is that the stand alone games (Pac & Euro) will have different set-ups than the combined game. For example, will India have a major IC in the combined game :?. I doubt it, I would think that it would be a minor IC. So, I believe there will be differences in the set-ups in these games.

Make an inlay on MDF board…Thanks for the link, I went to staples earlier today looking for those and the girl working said she had no idea what I was talking about when I asked for those. I remember using them but apparently kids today turn in their papers via ustream while twittering their teachers who are busy talking about myspace drama on facebook. Now I know what they are called.

There will be another setup in the global 1940 game.
