Capital Markers
-
Am I the only one that misses the old huge capital markers that marked the original capitals on the board in the original AA games? I don’t know there was just something very satisfying placing your tiny little marker over the enemy’s captured capital. Also I’m not digging these terrain styled maps/boarders I kinda miss the politically colored ones from revised. What do you guys think of these aesthetic changes, they going in the right direction?

I have every version of A&A (except the original Nova Games one with cardboard pieces) and I don’t recall any of them having capital marker pieces. Are you perhaps referring to something printed on the map rather than to sculpts?

Yes.

What capital markers?

The full size roundel printed on each capital in the first/second edition & revised. I believe he’s saying it’s satisfying to cover the printed full size roundel with his own roundel upon capture.
As to the map…. I have a soft spot for the revised colorblock map. It wouldn’t look as good for the Global 1940 game, in my opinion, but I think it still would have been handsome for 1942.

That was an amazingly satisfying feeling

I think the more topographical map looks cooler. However, sometimes the borders can be hard to see.

Permanent black marker: (discussion thread)

The permanent marker definitely helps, but I would be too nervous about ruining the board to try it.

You could cover the board map with a thin sheet of acetate and draw the lines on the acetate. No damage to the board that way. If you goof up a line, you just erase it with some rubbing alcohol (which dissolves “permanent” marker ink) and re-draw it.
