@fieldcommander The only issue with the larger map 5x10 are the reach ranges. So if leave some space around the edges for pieces and such you might have a hard time reaching the middle of the board, like the all important Mediterranean, especially if you have short arms like me!
Global Gaming Table Threads and Pictures
-
Hello everyone, I have made good progress on my board and posted some new pics if anyone is interested. The tile work is just about done, only a few islands left. Next I will be moving onto the table design.

I am not sure what wood to go with yet for the table. I know I want to stain it a dark cafe brown. I have seen redwood, and poplar at the local home improvement store that look very nice. Any suggestions?
Wow, incredible. Looks like the board weighs … 75 pounds? :mrgreen:

Haha, yeah it is pretty big and heavy. I haven’t weighed it yet but I plan to before I build the table. This is definitely not a portable version.

Awesome there Grasshopper.
-
Love that table YG!
-
Cool, we gotta make that happen.

Hi guys, I hope everyone has an awesome christmas time.
Please take a look at my custom table for global 40.
I got it from my father in law and my girlfriend.
I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I did :-)

Nice Table Rob!

Excellent table Robson,
Great attention to detail, and you really know how to spoil your fellow players. Looks like you have the 2nd edition board, I can’t believe that WOTC didn’t fix the dark convoy symbols…. crazy. Are you playing some kind of house rule using Canada as a separate nation?
-
Thanks YG glad you like it
The Canadian units are just for a better look, they are used as normal on UK turn :-)
For the same reason I use the finnish and neutral units, oil markers, canadian roundels, hellcat fighter and the red mongolian units. Now the only thing missing are the combat dice from fmg and some strict neutral units. -
…oh I forgot, yes thats the second edition board. I was also hoping that they worked on the symbol issue. Perhabs they use it as a argument for the 3rd edition. Thats WOTC style :-)
But I will be happy if I get the combat dice I ordered November 2011 :-D -
Sweet, I like what you did.
-
Robson,
Awesome looking table. I was wondering where did you find the two tiered storage thingies. Me and a couple of buds are building a table and are looking for something like that. We are stationed overseas so maybe you could point use to an online retailer?? Thanks. Again good looking table -

Could we update the first post in this thread to include pics of all the tables that have been built recently. It seems a little dated.
Thanks in advance.

I’m not sure what you mean by dated. If any of the links in the first post are no longer valid or have changed to new URLs, let me know what the correct new links are and I’ll be glad to make the necessary corrections. (I’m hoping it won’t be necessary because, due to the board’s current software, this will introduce a whole bunch of black diamonds into the text of the post.) If you mean that the first post only lists the small number of table picture threads that existed at that time, this was always the original intention. The first post was simply meant to be the starting point for the overall thread, with new links for new gaming tables being added to the thread afterwards as separate posts. In other words it’s the overall thread itself that was meant to collect links, not just the first post.

OK, understood…. I thought other links would be added to make post #1 a one stop shop for all the different table pics.

Here is the link to my build thread. Hopefully this helps someone in the future get started on their own. We will be playing our first game this weekend on it. I will post pictures when we are done.

how do I post an image here? do you have to get permissions from the admin?
