    I tell you what, Save up for a weekend trip to Oshawa (just out side of Toronto) next spring for the second annual “Field Marshal Games weekend convention” and we can have a blast playing global for 2 days straight.

    PS: I’m a huge habs fan, how about you?


  • @knp7765:

    If you think the Global 1940 map is too big, wait till you see the huge 1939 map they have at Historical Board Gaming.  Also, there is another A&A type game called “The War Game” which is pretty cool, but it has a huge map too, about the same size as HBG’s 1939 map.  My gaming table is barely big enough for Global 1940 (it actually hangs over the top a couple of inches).  I recently got “The War Game” and put it’s map on my table and the darn thing hung over almost a foot in both width and length.  One day I hope to find a bigger table or perhaps make one with a sheet of plywood like was mentioned.

    I would like to know more about this war game. Do you have any links or information about it? I’d like a war game with a little more depth than A&A, but not more (or too much more) complex.

    Do what I did. I converted 1/2 of my garage into a wargaming space. I have a 6’ X 14’ table built out of 2X4’s and particle board. Works real well with Global. We have a 6 member group.

    Humidity?  This would not be possible in Iowa in the summer, you must live in Arizona!

    I live in Toronto and my dehumidifier pulls 2 buckets a day.

    Upon reflection I was wondering about this configuration.  I have been worried since I got the Europe map that I wasn’t going to have a table big enough to play it on.  I’m wondering how you use this table Chuck?  6 ft deep and 14 ft across, that means you most likely can barely reach the middle of the board.  How do short players move units in the middle?

    I think you’re measurements must be wrong, otherwise you’re walking about 25 ft if you need to reach the other side of the map.  6X14 is like the size of a car.

    Shorties are a real concern for me, this is a big board and if I was a kid or short I would be unable to play unless the game was setup on the ground.  But since the board is so large, I am starting to lean towards the ideas others have had and shown to make a new map that is painted on a cut to fit 4x8 table. This can be covered in glass and used for other things like Warhammer or eating, and then always have an A&A map underneath.  I would just need the map to look nice and not like crap….like it would if I painted it…
