@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!
WAR ROOM II - The Sequel

Pfc pander,
A pretty close match is the yellow-green color. I have them mixed in with my U.S. units for nationalist China. You may also want to simply paint some OOB US artillery.

DK….after reading through your rules I like some of the customizations you added. Looking at the R&D it seems like it is a nice way to prevent a game from running to long. How has the R&D played out for you in some of your games and has it helped with putting a cap on the time? It seems to me that if one nation buys a handful of research token for the A bomb it would make the opponent feel pressured to do the same. fyi-just saw the movie Fury pretty good, 8/10.

It works out fine so far. I wouldn’t say it shortens the game any, though. My research chart breakthroughs are spaced out by round - you can’t get the A-bomb until round 10, for example. Since I have a whole room just for Axis and Allies, we don’t have to worry about playing a whole game in one sitting. We usually play 3 rounds and then leave it set up for next time.
Yes I plan to see Fury soon - if its WWII I’m there!
-
Really cool…DK!!! :-D
-
New upgrade - I slightly raised the depth of my dice trays since it was hard for everyone to see all the dice results on certain rolls near the edges. I then added camo felt tops for a switch.
-
That’s great looking there Der. Awesome wotk.
-
Update: I’ve been working on this off and on since Christmas - the Enola Gay is now in flight over the map! Little Boy is on his way down…
-
Now that is really, very cool. Excellent setup DK. :-o
Not to mention kinda scary at the same time.
-
Impressive new addition to your setup, DK! I’ll bet it’s a powerful morale-booster for the US player, and perhaps a little disquieting to the Japanese one! Anyway, it looks great – I’d even characterize it as “beyond cool!” :-D
-
AWESOME DK!
I like the way you war.
-
Awesome war room DK! Love the Enola Gay and Little Boy, as well. :-D
-
wow this is the best table and war gaming set up I have seen! so cool!!
-
Unreal setup.
-
Room update: Added a BMW R75 motorcycle and sidecar to my 1/35 scale war room diorama of a German column heading West - quite a tiny project compared to the huge B-29 hung over the game table…
There are four new painted soldiers, which I find more work than fun to do, but they do add a lot to the scene when done.
And lastly, I built some larger wooden trays to hold game pieces - these have 20 divisions for pieces instead of the old ones which had 12. There are empty spots available for any future unit additions desired.
-
Wow, those are certainly, awesome additions to your war room. Very cool. :-)

Very nice! Â Any army is always happy to get some additional divisions. Â :-D Â Great looking diorama too.

Hey! I have that same Sd.Kfz. kit… mine is in a much less complete Afika Korps. state currently. Cool stuff DK.
-
Very nice indeed. I see your using the sub pen markers from HBG too. I was going to go for the 3-D markers but I got cheap. Maybe if I printed my map a little larger I would have gotten them.
-
Yeah I may get the 3-D ones later…so far nobody uses them that much.
-
Do you play Bolt Action DK? Those models look great.
