Also slowly working on making my own pieces and designs for my new resin printer. I’m going to open up an online store for new pieces, boards, rules, and other items in the near future.
Global Gaming Table
-
I don’t own a dining room table.
However when I purchased AA40 Pacific and pre-ordered AA40 Europe, I did purchase a slightly used solid mahogany wargaming table with a dark cherry finish that seats 10, and now I’m picking up and refurbishing victorian style antique upholstered chairs to match.
So I guess at Thanksgiving this year I’ll have to break out the fold out card tables and stools again :evil:

How large is the board area?
What’s the symbol between Germany and China though?][/[/quote]
its the Union Jack (difficult to burn into wood). we wanted an additional roundel to make it look more balanced. thats why the canadian roundel was used. the french and italian are the same thing

this one you can see the back of the dice tower (when finished, it will actually fold into the table). suede was used for the interior and bottom of the tower. on the same side of the table you’ll see the smaller pockets for chip holders (suede was also used for the bottom) 5 pockets on each side of the table that match the boxes that came with the FMG Ammo Box, (plus the china box and additional U.S. box). 3 pockets on the opposite end that fit the 3 misc. boxes that came with FMG Ammo Box.

Seems like the playing area is too deep. I would want to play on a level surface with the bins and dice tower flush with the playing area. Otherwise pretty sweet though. :-)

Well, with the playing area inset and the dice towers turned sideways, you can put another sheet of plywood on top and play poker or cover it with a table cloth and still use the table without having to tear down the game. Very practical if you ask me. 8-)
Or you can put a sheet of plexiglass on top and it’ll be a fun A&A themed shadowbox table, which might be a little less practical, but much more fun for displaying how you’re crushing your opponent. :wink:

the size of the AAP40 & AAE40 combined with just a little give so I can get the boards in and out

I thought that would be in issue, but I can see the whole board sitting in my chair without having to stand up. It looks deeper than what it actually is. plus one of the points to the whole project was to be able to keep the seperate boards togethor witout clipping them, taping, etc.

Also you could cover it with plexiglass in the middle of a stopped game leaving all the pieces in place while using the table for another function.

Jinx. :-P

actually, the plexiglass will be directly on the board. I hate creases when i’m playing. plus it will keep the gameboard from shifting. the plexiglass is about $60 for the size i got. you could just get another 5x8 piece of wood and cover it also, that would be cheaper
$$how much??$$
the whole thing cost me about $150 so far with the plexiglass.

If you made a couple more and sold them you could recover your costs.

Nice me and my one buddy plan on building a table for global in woodshop next school year. We are currently thinking of taking a standard table plan and modifing it to fit what we want. I like the recessed board area. I will have to show him that because with a huge hardwood table(our building material in woodshop) it will be a little heavy. It would be nice to be able to use it as a dinning room table too. Nice table, again.
-
Nice table, again
thank you

i couldnt even imagine how much it would cost to ship one of them, it is HEAVY

I guess it’s too late now, but you could have used the SEAC roundel?

SEAC roundel
i dont even know what that is. Plus, the Union Jack was used in AAP

No secret, I’ll see what I can come up with

Epic awesomeness, It has been a long time since me and my dad used to make forts for G.I. Joes when I was younger; this reminds me because one of the forts had a similar recessed design with towers at the four corners. Again dude, that is amazing.

I thought somebody asked, but are you going to be providing the dimensions that you used to build the board?
