Right. Just to clarify, your destroyers and combined fleet can happily sail right past enemy subs and transports. You need to spend 8 IPC on a destroyer to use it as a speed bump. Even then, you can destroy the blocking destroyer with air and a sub maybe, then non-combat move past that contested sea-zone leaving behind only the sub and the attacking air units non-combat move to where the fleet will end up. It gets even harder to slow down a multi-national fleet, your ally clears the blocker then you can move 2 spaces and do combat before a new blocker can be placed, unless the defender was also multi-national….

I love IL board but just printed a cheap travel one and

Need to know what I should use to print a great one I want to keep at home

I went to Staples and had them print one on heavy-duty vinyl, the kind they use for banners intended to be outside in the weather. It came out very well. I downloaded Imperious Leader’s map and took it to them on a flash drive. It came out very well and cost me a little over $50. I had them print it at original size, and it’s huge. Best decision for the game I ever made.

I’m very happy for you, how bout a picture when you play next time?
Use mediafire. Since you cant post pics, use the links they give you and repost here. I assume this is 2nd edition?

I’ve actually got a few saved from the last game we played and have them up on mediafire, but when I try to post links here I get a message saying I can’t post links. Is there any way around this? I’m not sure if this message board allows private messages but I’m fine with PMing them to someone who can post them.

Hi All,
I am new to the forums, but have been playing Axis for a few years with a best mate.
We started in 2007 with revised, then Spring 42, now SE. We still play Spring '42.I have my own version of Spring 1942 that I scanned and photoshopped.
It printed really nicely at about 1.5m * 0.75m, so about 50% bigger in both dimensions.
I had it printed professionally and laminated in a matt finish.I can’t post links, so PM me if you are interested to see my big game board.
